New Delhi:
Kia India has officially announced prices for the All-New Kia Seltos, starting at ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), and in doing so, it has politely—but firmly—reminded the mid-SUV segment who has been setting the benchmarks all along. Bigger in size, sharper in tech and stronger on safety, the second-generation Seltos arrives with ambitions as wide as its new stance.
With this launch, Kia brings its most important India nameplate into a new generation, aiming straight at modern Indian families who want everything—space, tech, safety, performance—and preferably all of it without breaking the EMI calculator.
Bigger on Road, Bigger on Intent
The All-New Seltos now measures 4,460 mm in length, 1,830 mm in width, and rides on a longer 2,690 mm wheelbase, making it one of the largest players in its segment. Translation: more road presence, more cabin space, and fewer “adjust thoda sa” moments for rear-seat passengers.
Visually, it adopts Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy with the new Digital Tiger Face, segment-first Automatic Streamline Door Handles, and a rather dramatic Dynamic Welcome Function with Ice Cube LED projector headlamps—because first impressions matter, especially in your apartment parking lot at night.
A Cabin That Thinks It’s a Tech Lounge
Step inside, and the Seltos greets you with a segment-best 75.18 cm (30-inch) Trinity Panoramic Display Panel, stretching confidently across the dashboard like it owns the place. Add to that a Premium Bose 8-speaker audio system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and a segment-first Smart Key Proximity Unlock Function, and suddenly your living room feels slightly under-equipped.
Comfort gets equal attention, with features such as segment-first 10-way power driver seat with memory and relaxation mode, ventilated front seats, welcome retract seat function, and a panoramic sunroof that makes traffic jams slightly more tolerable.
Safety That Actually Earns the Badge
Underneath the bold sheet metal sits Kia’s India-first global K3 platform, engineered for improved rigidity, ride refinement and overall safety. The Seltos now comes with a 24 Standard Safety Pack as default, alongside Level-2 ADAS with 21 autonomous features—helping drivers stay safer while the SUV quietly keeps an eye on everything from lane discipline to collision avoidance.
In short, it’s the kind of SUV that doesn’t just look confident—it actually is.
Engines for Every Driving Personality
Kia has kept the powertrain menu generously diverse. Buyers can choose from:
- Smartstream G1.5 Petrol
- Smartstream G1.5 T-GDI Petrol
- 1.5L CRDi VGT Diesel
These are paired with multiple transmission options including 6MT, 6iMT, IVT, 7DCT and 6AT, ensuring there’s a Seltos for everyone—from relaxed commuters to enthusiastic right-foot connoisseurs.
Trims, Packs, and Choice Galore
The All-New Seltos is offered in four core trims – HTE, HTK, HTX and GTX/X Line, complemented by four option packs spanning Convenience, Premium, ADAS and X Line design themes. The result? Customers can spec their Seltos the way they like it—minimalist, tech-loaded or fully dressed to impress.
Ownership, Minus the Headache
Beyond the product, Kia is pushing a seamless ownership pitch through the MyKia app, offering service bookings, live consultations and transparent cost estimates via Kia Krystal. Add extended warranty up to 7 years, roadside assistance up to 8 years, and personalized service plans, and Kia makes a strong case for long-term peace of mind.
Manufactured at Kia’s Anantapur facility, the All-New Seltos is backed by an expansive network of 821 touchpoints across 369 cities, ensuring that whether you live in a metro or a fast-growing town, help is never too far away.
With aggressive pricing, segment-leading technology, serious safety upgrades and a design that knows how to turn heads without trying too hard, the All-New Kia Seltos doesn’t just enter the mid-SUV segment—it rearranges the furniture. For rivals, the message is clear: the benchmark has moved again. For buyers, the question is simpler—which variant do you pick?
