The next-generation Kia Seltos is officially set to make its India debut on December 10, marking the most significant update for the SUV since its initial launch. Spy shots and reports indicate a refreshed exterior design, a revamped cabin, and an array of new features. Kia aims to elevate the Seltos's position in the mid-size SUV segment with these enhancements.
Exterior changes are expected to include a more upright and boxier silhouette, a larger, squared-off grille, vertical LED DRLs, redesigned bumpers, and new alloy wheel designs. The rear will also feature fresh LED tail-lamps and a reshaped tailgate for a more robust appearance. Inside, the updated Seltos is likely to boast a reworked dashboard, premium materials, a larger infotainment system, and improved seating ergonomics.
Feature upgrades are anticipated to include enhanced connectivity, additional Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) functions, and dual-tone upholstery. Under the hood, the new Seltos is expected to retain its familiar 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engine options. Crucially, a strong-hybrid powertrain, hinted at in earlier leaks, may also join the lineup for the first time, offering improved efficiency.
