Kia India have released a few teasers of the all-new 2026 Seltos and have confirmed its global debut on December 10, 2025. The second generation Seltos has been under development for over a year, with multiple test mules spotted across India. The teaser finally gives us a clear look at Kia’s design direction for the upcoming Seltos.

Note: This story will be updated as Kia reveals more information ahead of the global debut on December 10.
The first official teaser shows a completely redesigned 2026 Seltos with several design cues borrowed from Kia’s global SUVs such as the Sorento and Telluride. Key design takeaways include a completely reworked Digital Tiger Face grille, new Star Map LED lighting signature stretching across the front, and connected LED taillamps. The teaser also confirms the new Seltos will offer a panoramic sunroof in its top variants. The upcoming Seltos seems wider and offers a more planted look than the outgoing model. It even offers flush door handles for improved aerodynamics and premium appeal.

Kia are yet to reveal the interiors of the 2026 Seltos. However, based on previous spy shots, here’s what is expected:
We expect features such as ventilated front seats, 360-degree camera, 6 airbags to be carried over from the current model.

Kia have not disclosed engine options in the teaser. However, based on industry expectations, the 2026 Seltos is likely to continue with its proven ICE lineup, which consists of a 1.5L normal petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol and a 1.5L turbo diesel engine.
Reports suggest Kia are evaluating a strong hybrid petrol engine for the 2026 Seltos. If introduced, the new Seltos will take on rival hybrid SUVs such as the Toyota Hyryder and Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara.
