The Star Map LED connected tail lamps, Ice Cube LED headlamps, and the LED fog lamps give it a clean and modern look. The SUV now looks stronger on the road with 18-inch crystal-cut alloy wheels, dark gunmetal skid plates, and neon brake callipers. Features like the integrated rear spoiler, automatic door handles, parking sensors on all sides, and a large panoramic sunroof add to the overall appeal of the 2026 Seltos.
