New generation Kia Seltos will more likely make its world premiere next month before going on sale in markets like India in early 2026
Kia made its domestic debut with the Seltos back in 2019 and it has been instrumental in shaping up the brand along with the Sonet. Over the years, the competition in the midsize SUV segment has only gotten to newer heights and in response, Kia introduced the mid-life update for the Seltos a few years ago and now it is preparing to bring in a brand new model.
The new-gen Kia Seltos is expected to make its global debut on December 10, 2025 in South Korea before reaching markets like India in early 2026. The latest camouflaged prototypes leave little doubt that this will be the SUV’s most comprehensive overhaul since its introduction. Nearly every exterior panel seems to have been reworked and it takes inspiration from the recently unveiled global Telluride.
The front section has gained a more upright nose which now frames a brand new grille with an intricate mesh-style pattern. Flanking it are vertically stacked LED headlights that connect visually with C-shaped LED daytime running lights stretching into the outer bumper edges. The bonnet gets deeper creases while the bumper has grown chunkier.

Viewed from the side, the SUV continues to hold that balanced stance but with refreshed detailing. The new Y-shaped dual-tone alloys, prominent wheel arches and a distinct triangular rear-quarter window subtly change its proportions. At the rear, redesigned C-shaped LED taillights are linked by a slim light bar while the tailgate and bumper are new as well.
On the inside, the cabin is expected to be completely redone. The new dashboard will follow a flatter, wider layout complemented by more upmarket soft touch materials and new textures. A larger floating touchscreen will take centre stage – sitting alongside a digital instrument cluster in a single connected housing. Expect ambient lighting and upgraded infotainment software too.

The familiar equipment such as ventilated front seats, powered driver’s seat with memory, panoramic sunroof, automatic climate control and six airbags should continue, though the technology package could see upgrades. The new Seltos is also expected to integrate additional ADAS functions for improved its safety credentials.
Mechanically, the SUV is set to retain its tried-and-tested trio of powertrains – the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines – all offered with manual and automatic gearbox options. However, there’s growing talk of a hybrid version being added later in the lifecycle for several markets, perhaps India too. Internationally, the SUV could also gain an all-wheel-drive option for select trims – something that may not make it to the Indian lineup.
