Kia Seltos 2026 Launch Date: The Kia Seltos is one of the most popular mid-size SUVs in India currently, and the next-generation model of the Seltos is all set to make its debut on December 10, 2025, in Korea. The test mule of the Kia Seltos 2026 has been spied testing several times overseas and in the country. The Kia Seltos 2026 was recently spied testing on the Indian roads yet again. Let’s take a look at the expected design, features, and powertrain of the upcoming Kia Seltos 2026.
Kia Seltos 2026: Expected Design
The New generation of the Kia Seltos will feature a similar front design to its siblings, such as the EV9 and Syros. However, the headlamps are covered by the angular-sleek DRL units, which is not the case with either EV9 or the Syros. It also gets a new grille on the front, along with the new housing for the fog lamps. It still gets the same horizontal lines on the lower part of the front bumper.

The interior of the next-generation Kia Seltos has remained under wraps till now. However, it is expected to receive some major changes inside the cabin, such as a new, larger touchscreen-based infotainment system with a fully digital instrument cluster. It is also expected to get new ambient lighting, a connected car feature, ventilated front seats, a panoramic sunroof, six airbags, and a fully automatic climate control system. The ADAS radar module on the front windscreen is also visible in the spy images, and we expect the Kia Seltos to get a Level-2 ADAS suite as well.
