Kia will introduce the second-generation Seltos globally on December 10.
Kia will introduce its much anticipated second-generation Seltos worldwide on December 10, 2025. This extensive redesign of the popular small SUV marks a major turning point for the brand, with a dramatic new look and enhanced features that set a new standard in its class.
What’s New with the Second-Gen Seltos?
The all-new Seltos promises a striking makeover, drawing inspiration from Kia’s larger SUVs, like the Telluride. You can expect a more muscular, angular stance thanks to updated design features like split LED headlamps, a full-width rear light bar, vertical daytime running lights (DRLs), and redesigned alloy wheels.
The new model will also have a longer wheelbase and a wider track, which will increase overall passenger space and back legroom.
Among the high-end features included in the second-generation Seltos are a digital instrument cluster, a dual-screen infotainment system, and an additional screen for climate controls or vehicle status.
Advanced driver-assist technologies, such as a 360-degree camera, ventilated seats, and a panoramic sunroof, are also expected to enhance the driving experience.
Powertrain and Platform Updates
The second-generation Seltos will come with a range of engine options, including both standard petrol and petrol-hybrid models. The hybrid will be powered by an electric motor and a 1.5-liter normally aspirated petrol engine. The worldwide lineup will also include a 1.5-liter turbo-petrol engine and, in certain regions, a 1.5-liter diesel substitute.
Details of the Launch and Market
When the second-generation Seltos are unveiled on December 10, 2025, the global rollout will begin. Kia will launch the updated Seltos in South Korea first, followed by major international markets.
The model is expected to be accessible in several regions, such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, by early 2026.
Kia wants the new Seltos to become a global leader in the small SUV market by appealing to a diverse range of consumers with its enhanced design, technology, and performance features.
Will the 2nd-Generation Seltos also be Launched in Pakistan?
The second generation Seltos is expected to make its debut in India in the middle of 2026, though Kia has not yet confirmed a launch date for Pakistan. As the date of the worldwide unveiling draws near, more details regarding its launch in Pakistan will be released.
What’s Next for the Seltos and Kia?
The 2nd-generation Seltos is prepared to compete with rivals such as the Hyundai Creta, Maruti Grand Vitara, and Toyota Urban Cruiser Hyryder thanks to its updated design, enhanced features, and hybrid powertrain options. The new Seltos is expected to raise the bar and give consumers a more desirable choice in terms of performance, design, and technology as the small SUV market becomes more competitive.
