All-New Kia Seltos Debut On 10 December Launch

The first teaser images of the next-generation Kia Seltos were just announced by Kia India with plans to release it on December 10, 2025. The teaser shows us that it will have an entirely redesigned exterior as well as provide some of the largest updates to this mid-size SUV to date. While this new model will have a modernized design language and updated features, we can likely expect to see all-new engine choices as well.

The all-new Kia Seltos will have an aggressive front end and presents a bold new exterior design. It features a larger signature Kia grille, vertically stacked LED headlamps, and newly designed LED Daytime Run Lights (DRLs). In addition, the redesigned bumper and muscular front fascia of the upgraded version will match the current models in KIA’s Global Product Line like the Sorento and Sportage. At the rear of the vehicle, the modern styling continues with KIA’s new Star Map rear LED tail light configurations (light clusters that connect via one bar) which provides a more contemporary look. Floating roof pillars are blacked out to enhance the floating roof effect and provide a final touch of style.

The next-generation Seltos will likely have a completely redesigned inside as indicated by industry reporting although teasers currently only highlight the exterior. Upgrades speculated include new dashboards with improved layouts and finishes as well as possible increases in screen size for both infotainment systems and instrument displays (e.g., speedometer, tachometer).

Comfort-related technologies may also be added to help package the SUV even more competitively compared to other vehicles in the same segment. In addition to maintaining existing petrol/diesel engine options, it appears that Kia may be introducing a hybrid engine variant to further enhance efficiency and environmental awareness of owners.

Kia’s current Seltos model series has been one of India’s highest-selling SUV platforms, with an on-road retail average price that ranges between ₹12.41 lakh and ₹23.76 lakh depending on specific model level and geographical area. As Kia prepares to launch the next-generation model series later this year, we will likely see some price adjustments, especially if Kia adds any new variants or feature packages to the mix.

The next generation of Kia Seltos is being launched into a very competitive segment which includes the likes of Hyundai Creta, Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun, MG Astor and Honda Elevate. The redesign and potential improvement of the powertrain for the new Seltos is expected to strengthen Kia’s position as one of the most popular selling SUVs in India. The anticipation for the launch of the new Seltos is on the rise, due to there being only a few days until it is officially debuting, followed by Kia releasing more detailed information such as interior images, added options/features, and a breakdown of all models offered on the date of launch. Currently, the teaser materials from Kia suggest that the upcoming Seltos is going to provide an aggressive, vibrant, and technological upgrade to one of India’s top selling SUV.
