The second-gen Kia Seltos has made its global debut and prices for the Hyundai Creta and Tata Sierra rival will be announced on January 2, 2026. Kia has given its new-gen midsize SUV a comprehensive makeover outside and inside, but mechanically, it is identical to its predecessor – the 115hp 1.5-litre petrol, 160hp 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and 116hp 1.5-litre diesel engines continue with their respective manual and automatic gearbox options.
The new Seltos' exterior features design cues seen on the larger Kia Telluride and the SUV has grown in size compared to the first-gen model – the second-gen SUV is 95mm longer at 4,460mm and 30mm wider at 1,830mm. However, it stands 10mm lower at 1,635mm.
