New-gen Kia Seltos to launch on Dec 10th

Kia's new Seltos, launching on December 10, 2026, will feature design elements inspired by the Carens Clavis and Syros.

Kia India has confirmed that it will be launching the new-gen Seltos in the Indian market on December 10th. The mid-size SUV was first launched back in 2019 and has been a huge hit since then. The brand did release a facelift to freshen things up a bit back in 2023, which helped the Seltos to continue its strong momentum in the Indian market.

2026 Kia Seltos will boast an all-new front fascia.

Kia has started teasing the design elements of the new-gen Seltos on social media. There is a fresh new fascia in the front, and the LED Daytime Running Lamps look sharper and more aggressive. This helps in tying the design language of the new Seltos along with the other new Kia models that are sold in the global market. There will also be a new design for the rear tail lights and lightbar, which are clearly inspired by the Carnival that is on sale in the Indian market. There would be new bumpers, new alloys, a shark fin antenna and an integrated rear spoiler as well.
