New Gen Kia Seltos Spy Shots: It's already known that Kia will unveil its much-awaited second-generation Seltos compact SUV on December 10 in Korea. The Indian market currently has the first-generation model, which starts at Rs 10.79 lakh (ex-showroom), and the upcoming Seltos will be a generational update over the current version. As part of the 2026 updates, the Seltos is likely to bring a completely overhauled exterior and interior, along with a new powertrain option.

New Kia Seltos Spy Shot Details

The new-generation compact SUV has been spotted testing on multiple occasions, both abroad and in India. However, the latest spy shots of the vehicle, fitted with an emission measuring kit, are from Korea. Compared to the existing Seltos, the next-generation model follows the brand's new 'Opposites United' design philosophy seen on the Syros. Having said that, vertical LED DRLs appear sharper and slimmer, while the front grille is a new unit. While it is hard to gauge from the spy shots, the model might house connected LED taillamps with a light strip. We also expect the SUV to feature new fog-lamp housings, but the same alloy wheel design.

New Kia Seltos Interior

In addition to a new dashboard and fresh upholstery options, the new Seltos is likely to offer dual 12.3-inch screens, revised ergonomics, enhanced connectivity, and additional ADAS features. To adapt to evolving customer needs, the new Seltos is expected to be longer and wider on the outside, and offer more legroom and shoulder room on the inside.

New Kia Seltos Engine

The new SUV should retain the same 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engine options, but might introduce a strong-hybrid powertrain setup as another option. Expected gearbox options are manual, automatic, and iMT.
