The new Kia Seltos gets a sharper front look with the updated Kia Digital Tiger Face grille. 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.

The cabin of the new-gen Kia Seltos now has more modern look with the new trinity panoramic display, which includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. The layout is clean and easy to use. Safety and convenience features like ADAS Level 2, smart cruise control, rear parking sensors, and PCA-R make everyday driving more comfortable. With seating for five and a 447-litre boot, the Seltos remains a practical SUV.
The new Seltos also offers multiple interior colour themes. The X-Line gets a Smoky Black and Hunter Green finish with satin metal accents. The HTX variants feature a Premium Brown and Grey theme with green highlights. The GTX and GT-Line versions come with a clean Smoky Black and White combination. The HTK, HTK(O), and HTE variants use Smoky Black and Grey interiors with subtle matte blue accents.

The Kia Seltos 2026 comes with three engine choices. The 1.5L petrol makes 84.4 kW and 144 Nm and is offered with a 6-speed manual or IVT automatic. The 1.5L turbo-petrol produces 117.5 kW and 253 Nm and comes with either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT. The 1.5L diesel engine delivers 85 kW and 250 Nm and is available with a 6-speed manual or automatic gearboxes.

The new-gen Kia Seltos is 4,460 mm long, 1,830 mm wide, and has a wheelbase of 2,690 mm. This helps create more cabin space and legroom. The boot space remains at 447 litres, which is useful for daily and weekend use. The fuel tank capacity ranges from 47 litres for most variants to 50 litres for the turbo-petrol model.
The new Seltos includes robust 24 Standard Safety Pack. It comes with six airbags, ABS, ESC, VSM, TPMS highline, all-wheel disc brakes, ISOFIX, three-point seatbelts for all passengers, and a rear occupant alert. Features like rollover sensors, hill hold, rear view camera, and auto light control help improve everyday safety. ADAS Level 2 adds functions like lane keeping assist, high beam assist, and multiple collision avoidance features.

The all-new Kia Seltos comes in ten monotone paint options. These include Morning Haze, Magma Red, Aurora Black Pearl, Pewter Olive, Glacier White Pearl, Frost Blue, Imperial Blue, Gravity Grey, Ivory Silver Gloss, and Xclusive Matte Graphite for the X-Line. Two dual-tone options are also available - glacier White Pearl/Aurora Black Pearl and Magma Red/Aurora Black Pearl.
The new-gen Seltos price will be revealed on 2 January 2026. With all the updates, the pricing is expected to be slightly higher than before but still competitive in the segment.
