With its sleeker design updates, potent engine options, and upscale features, the 2025 Kia Seltos has returned in style and is now among the top SUVs in its class. For contemporary Indian consumers, the new Seltos provides a high-end experience with features like ADAS safety and a large touchscreen display.
It serves a broad spectrum of SUV lovers, from feature-hungry enthusiasts to practical buyers, with prices starting at ₹11.13 lakh (ex-showroom) and rising to ₹20.51 lakh.
New Appearance, Same Powerful Identity
A bolder front grille, connected LED DRLs, fashionable headlamps, and newly designed alloy wheels are all features of the Seltos 2025 facelift. Additionally, connected LED tail lamps have been added to the rear, giving it a more upscale appearance on the road.
Depending on your budget, it comes in a variety of trim levels, including HTE, HTK, HTX, GTX+, and the top-spec X-Line, which offers a mix of technology and style.
Technologically Advanced Cabin with a High-End Feel
The Seltos now has a dual-screen interior with a fully digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported by the slick interface.
Additional premium features consist of:
A panoramic sunroof
Climate control with two zones
Front seats with ventilation
Fragrant air purifier
Bose sound system with eight speakers (in higher variants)
Back window curtains and ambient lighting
Compared to many competitors in the market, the layout feels much more sophisticated, modern, and clean.
Engine Choices for All Types of Drivers
In the 2025 Seltos, Kia will still provide three engine options:
1.5L NA gasoline with 115 PS and a 6-speed CVT or manual gearbox
160 PS 1.5L Turbo Petrol with either a 6-speed iMT or a 7-speed DCT
116 PS 1.5L diesel with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic
Seltos offers something for everyone, regardless of your preference for the efficiency of diesel, the thrill of turbo, or the smoothness of gasoline.
ADAS Safety Features
The new Seltos is much safer. In addition to the six airbags that are standard on all models, the higher trims now come with Level 2 ADAS.
ADAS characteristics consist of:
Lane continues to help
Cruise control that adapts
Warning of a forward collision
Monitoring of blind spots
Cross-traffic warning in the rear

Because of this, the Seltos is among the safest small SUVs in its class, particularly when driving on highways.
