Kia has officially revealed the new-generation Seltos for 2026 with a bold redesigned front, upgraded interiors, new features, and multiple engine options. Bookings begin at ₹25,000, while full pricing will be announced on January 2.
The all-new generation of the Kia Seltos has officially been unveiled. The 2026 Kia Seltos comes with major upgrades at the front. The SUV now features a redesigned grille, updated headlamp setup, modern DRLs, and a new bumper with silver accents. More muscular bonnet lines and newly designed alloy wheels make the front profile more premium. Kia has confirmed that the 2026 Seltos will be available in 10 single-tone exterior color options.
Here are the details about its booking amount.
Kia has announced that bookings for the 2026 Seltos will begin tonight at 12 AM. However, the company has not revealed the pricing during today’s launch. Kia confirmed that full pricing details will be shared separately on January 2. Starting tonight, customers can book the SUV by paying a token amount of ₹25,000.
Kia has revealed that the 2026 Seltos will come with three engine options — a normal petrol engine, a turbo-petrol engine, and a turbo-diesel engine. All three engines are 1.5-litre units.
The normal petrol engine produces 115 PS power and 144 Nm torque.
The turbo-petrol engine is more powerful, generating 160 PS power and 253 Nm torque.
The diesel engine delivers 116 PS power and 250 Nm torque.
These are the same engines currently offered with the existing Seltos and are similar to the ones used in the Hyundai Creta. The company has not shared any details about an electric version of the Seltos yet.
