Kia India is gearing up for the next big update of its most popular SUV — the Seltos X-Line. But according to industry insiders, the launch may not happen immediately and could arrive later than expected. Yes, the wait may feel a little long for SUV lovers, but the upgrades Kia is packing into the new Seltos X-Line make it pretty clear that the company wants everything to be absolutely spot-on before hitting the showroom floors in India.
Bolder Look & Premium Feel
The upcoming Seltos X-Line isn’t just a small facelift — it has taken a full step up in terms of styling. Expect a matte black exterior, dark chrome elements, connected LED tail-light bar, sharper DRLs, 18-inch diamond-cut alloys, and a more muscular bumper design. The X-Line clearly tries to give off a rugged yet premium vibe for young Indian SUV buyers who want something that looks classy but also aggressive. Every teaser and spy shot proves one thing — this SUV will turn heads on the road.
Interior That Feels Straight Out of a Luxury Car
Inside, the new Seltos X-Line focuses on comfort and tech. The India-spec version is expected to feature a dual 10.25-inch screen layout, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, 360° camera, wireless charging, fast Type-C ports, and a Bose sound system. The dashboard layout looks cleaner than before, and Kia seems to have spent extra effort on cabin materials to improve the overall feel.
Engine Options That Indians Prefer
Under the hood, the Seltos X-Line will most likely continue with the trusted powertrains:
-
1.5L Petrol
-
1.5L Turbo-Petrol
-
1.5L Diesel
Gearbox options will include manual, CVT, torque-converter AT, and 7-speed DCT — offering choices for every driving style. There are also strong hints that Kia is preparing a hybrid version for India later, which could put the Seltos way ahead in mileage-focused competition.
Expected Price (India)
The Seltos X-Line is expected to be priced around:
₹19.5 – ₹20.9 lakh (ex-showroom)
Final Thoughts
If you’re planning to buy an SUV soon and can delay your purchase for a few months — waiting for the new Seltos X-Line is a smart move. The upgrades are significant and will add long-term value. But if your budget is tight or you need a car urgently, the current Seltos is still a strong package.
