Kia has released the first teaser of the second generation Seltos ahead of its market debut on December 10, 2025. The teaser shows the busier front fascia taking inspiration from the global Telluride. It has become more upright with a redesigned grille section which is more prominent than before.

The vertical lighting patterns comprise an outwardly positioned LED Daytime Running Lights and C-shaped LED headlamps with vertical inner beam signatures. You could also see the Kia corporate badge sitting in the middle of the revised bonnet. The dark body colour indicates that it could belong to the top-spec X Line trim.

In the clearer teasers, the new Seltos wears a dual-tone black and pale blue shade and its styling details include C-shaped LED tail lamps with integrated turn signals and a light bar, sculpted mirrors and bonnet lines, roof rails, shark fin antenna, short overhangs and dual-pane sunroof can also be seen.

The lift-gate and bumpers at the front and rear have also received cosmetic updates while new colour schemes will also be added the lineup. In addition, dimensional changes are also expected and the alloy wheels are brand new. The interior will more likely get a wider dashboard while premium textures and soft-touch materials are likely to be used more generously.

A larger touchscreen will dominate the centre section, positioned beside a fully digital instrument display with both screens integrated into a single glass housing. An upgraded software interface is also likely with a better UI. As the Seltos is already feature-packed, we can expect most of its equipment to be retained besides new additions.

Under the skin, the formula is set to remain familiar. The tried-and-tested 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, 1.5-litre turbo petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engines are likely to stay put – mated to both manual and automatic gearbox options. Select international versions could offer an all-wheel-drive setup while rumours of a strong hybrid variant cannot be ruled out.
