The 2026 Kia Seltos has finally broke cover, bringing a significant design makeover and feature upgrade over the outgoing model. The second generation Kia Seltos has been one of the most hyped cars of 2025. However, Kia India didn't reveal the pricing of the SUV. The South Korean automaker will reveal the pricing of the SUV on January 2, 2026.
The Kia Seltos is already available for booking at a token amount of ₹25,000. With a host of changes, the SUV is expected to become more appealing to consumers.
