Next-Gen Kia Seltos To Make Global Debut in India Tomorrow

Teasers signal an upmarket redesign with a tech‑forward cabin, with official specifications and prices due at the Hyderabad reveal.

Overview

  • Kia’s second-generation Seltos is teased with a wider Digital Tiger Face grille, new LED signatures, revised bumpers and a connected tail-light bar for a more upright, premium stance.
  • Interior leaks point to dual 12.3-inch displays under a single curved panel, upgraded materials, ambient lighting, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated and powered front seats and wireless charging.
  • The India lineup is expected to retain 1.5-litre NA petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines with multiple manual and automatic gearboxes, while reports suggest a strong-hybrid option internationally that remains unconfirmed for India.
  • An expanded Level‑2/Level‑2+ ADAS suite is expected to include adaptive cruise control, lane keeping/centering and autonomous emergency braking, with separate reporting of structural reinforcements and a 5‑star Bharat NCAP ambition not yet confirmed by Kia.
  • Early estimates place pricing roughly at Rs 11–21 lakh ex‑showroom, trims such as GT Line and X‑Line are anticipated, rivals span Hyundai Creta to Tata Sierra, and India sales are expected to begin in early 2026.
