Three 1.5-litre engines (2 petrol, 1 diesel) from the current model are likely to power the new Kia Seltos at launch

Kia has started its journey in the Indian market with the launch of the compact SUV Seltos. This is their first product and has just the right X-factor to carve a niche in the Indian SUV market. The company updated the Seltos in July 2023, and a new generation model is already brewing in South Korea.

One might think it’s too early to launch a new Seltos, with the current model launched just 17 months ago. Continuous evolution seems to be the mantra for Kia, with the new generation Seltos already beginning testing in South Korea. Recent spy shots reveal an imposing front fascia.

New generation Kia Seltos front design

After Syros, Kia has made a new development. The Seltos SUV is the subject of this generation upgrade and testing of the vehicle has already begun in South Korea. The latest spy photos show the front fascia of the new generation Seltos. We can see that the design of the new Seltos is inspired by Telluride.

That’s not a bad thing, as the Telluride is Kia’s flagship ICE SUV, and its design is simple yet majestic. We can see a solid dashboard and square headlights. The BBQ area is large and full of sporting charm. The Telluride SUV shares similar design attributes and is one of Kia’s handsomest and cleanest designs.

The Seltos is also a global vehicle and offering a smaller vehicle with the same design language as the Telluride could do wonders for the vehicle. There are front parking sensors and a radar module for ADAS. At the back, we have vertically elongated LED taillight signatures, again similar to those offered on the Telluride.

What is the expected functionality?

Inside, the new-generation Kia Seltos is likely to adopt the same design language as the Syros. New 2-spoke steering with off-center Kia badge, large touchscreen infotainment and instrument screens, HUD for safer journeys, softer touch materials, more comfortable exterior, front and rear ventilated seats and more.

Under the hood, the new-gen Kia Seltos is likely to come with the same powertrain as the current model. Therefore, the same 1.5L NA petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol and 1.5L turbo diesel engines are likely to be used. Considering it’s a Kia, transmission options will be plentiful as well. Launch is expected in late 2025 or early 2026.

In India, Kia is gearing up to launch its new radical SUV Syros. It will have a design language unlike any other vehicle sold in India and will establish an X-factor. Expected to be revealed on December 19, Syros is definitely exciting to watch.
