2026 Kia Seltos Debut Today: The all-new Kia Seltos is set to debut today. In its second-generation guise, the Seltos is expected to bring a bolder design, an overhauled cabin, and a hybridised version of the 1.5-litre NA petrol engine. This is going to be an unveiling; therefore, the India launch is expected in the first half of 2026. Of course, with 2026 upgrades, the second-gen model will command a premium over the current version. The model will go against the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, and the Tata Sierra in the segment. With the reveal approaching, here's a brief overview of what to expect:
2026 Kia Seltos Exterior
From the teaser images shared so far, the new Seltos will get design elements that mimic the brand's global design language, including a revised 'Tiger Face', chrome surround, and split LED DRLs. The model will also get a new alloy wheel design, flush door handles, a kink in the window line, and a new LED light bar on the tailgate.

2026 Kia Seltos Features
Expect the updated cabin to feature a new touchscreen infotainment system, reworked switchgear, a three-spoke steering wheel, ventilated/powered front seats, a boss mode, and aluminium pedals, as well as 6 airbags, an electronic parking brake, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS as part of safety features. Confirmed bits include a panoramic sunroof and LED welcome animations.
2026 Kia Seltos Engine
Under the hood, the upcoming Seltos is expected to carry over its three 1.5-litre engine options: a naturally aspirated petrol, a turbo-petrol, and a diesel engine. Kia could also debut its strong-hybrid powertrain setup with the new Seltos, details of which are yet to be revealed. Manual, CVT, DCT, and torque converter automatic gearbox options should be available.
