New Kia Seltos 2026 on road price

The Seltos was Kia’s maiden product in India, introduced in June 2019. Over six years later, Kia has debuted the second-generation Seltos SUV. The model has been a strong brand-builder for Kia in India. The 2026 Kia Seltos is based on the new K3 platform, which comes with the new interior and new exterior design, but carries over the same powertrain options from its predecessor.

Exterior Design

Kia Seltos new model 2026, is larger than its predecessor, with the wheelbase increased by 80mm. This model is 95 mm longer, 30mm wider, but it is 10mm shorter in height. The new grille is unmissable thanks to its jagged appearance and vertical gunmetal accents.

The window line gets the same pinched treatment over the C-pillar as before. The tailgate features a cleaner design, and the number plate has been relocated to the bumper. The inverted L-shaped LED tail lamps bear a resemblance to those of Carens Clavis.
