2026 Kia Seltos Unveiled in India With Fresh Design and Upgraded Features
The new-gen Seltos arrives with larger dimensions, revamped styling, enhanced interiors, and multiple engine options; bookings open on December 11 ahead of an early-January 2026 launch
Key Highlights of the 2026 Model
The 2026 Kia Seltos now wears more noticeably bigger dimensions, at 4,460 mm in length with a wider stance and longer wheelbase. The extra dimensions give the SUV a stronger road presence, improve interior space, and increase boot capacity to 447 litres.
On the outside, the Seltos puts on a more angular and dynamic look. The new front end features Kia’s updated grille with vertically stacked LED elements, and newly designed 18-inch alloy wheels are offered across some variants. Adding to its modern and premium vibe is the addition of flush-fitting automatic door handles.
Interiors have also been redesigned for a more premium and technology-rich environment inside. The long panoramic screen layout, merging the infotainment with the digital cluster, steals the show. New materials add to cabin comfort, along with ambient lighting, ventilated seats, dual-zone climate control, and a wireless charger.
Powertrain options remain the same as before, and this SUV continues to offer a 1.5-litre petrol, 1.5-litre turbo-petrol, and 1.5-litre diesel engine option. These engines come with different transmission options: manual, iMT, CVT, DCT, and automatics, depending on the variant.
It should finally place the refreshed Seltos in contention for a bolder exterior, premium interior experience, and good engine options at the front of compact-SUV choices for 2026.
