The new Kia Seltos is one of the most talked-about midsize SUVs in India right now. Kia has completely redesigned it for 2026 with bold looks, bigger size and lots of tech — and bookings are already open ahead of its official launch on 2 January 2026. The SUV now sits on the advanced K3 platform, and it’s noticeably larger than before, giving more room inside and a strong road presence. Looks aside, the Seltos is packed with modern features Indian buyers care about — from advanced safety tech to premium cabin comforts.
Bigger, Bolder Design That Turns Heads
One of the first things you notice about the new Kia Seltos is its fresh exterior. Kia went all-out with a bold front grille, sharp LED headlamps, vertical LED DRLs, and larger 18-inch alloy wheels — giving the SUV a more premium and modern look. The body has grown in length and width compared to the old model, so you get more cabin space and better road stance. Inside, the cabin feels more upmarket thanks to premium materials, neat switchgear and thoughtful styling touches that make long drives feel comfortable.
Loaded Interior Tech That Feels Next-Gen
Step inside the new Kia Seltos and you’ll spot one of its big talking points — the futuristic dual-screen setup. The SUV gets two 12.3-inch displays for the infotainment and digital driver cluster that seem to merge into a panoramic digital panel, with crisp graphics and smooth touch controls. There’s also a smaller climate screen below, adding to the techy feel. Features like a panoramic sunroof, Bose sound system, wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, and adjustable powered seats make the cabin feel premium and comfortable, especially on long highway runs.
Safety & Smart Driving Features You’ll Love
Safety is a big deal, and the new Kia Seltos doesn’t disappoint. It comes with Level-2 ADAS tech on higher trims — including features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and blind-spot detection — for safer, stress-free highway cruising. Six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control and a 360-degree camera add more confidence when driving in busy Indian traffic or tricky conditions. It’s clear Kia focused on safety as much as style and comfort this time around.
Powerful Engines & Smooth Performance
Under the hood, the new Kia Seltos offers a balanced mix of power and efficiency. You get a choice of three engines: a punchy 1.5-litre turbo-petrol with strong mid-range torque, a smooth naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol, and a torquey 1.5-litre diesel — all familiar favourites in India’s SUV segment. Transmission choices span manual, CVT, iMT and dual-clutch automatics depending on the engine and variant you pick. This flexibility helps buyers match driving style and budget easily.
