Kia has confirmed the refreshed Seltos will arrive in India on December 10, 2025. The facelifted model has been seen testing several times and promises visible changes both outside and inside.On the outside, spy photos suggest Kia has sharpened the Seltos’ stance. The side profile will likely be refreshed with new alloy-wheel designs. Even under the heavy camouflage, the updated styling is hard to miss. The SUV now features a more upright, bolder grille with vertical slats, paired with vertically stacked three-pod LED headlamps and slimmer DRLs. The bumper also looks chunkier than before, suggesting a stronger and more assertive stance on the road.As for interiors, it is possible that the Seltos might adopt a modern triple-screen layout: most likely two 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment, plus a separate 5-inch screen for climate controls. Alongside the new screens, Kia has likely reworked the interior architecture to create a roomier feel and improve ergonomics.Under the skin, the familiar powertrains are expected to carry over. Buyers can likely choose from a 1.5-litre NA petrol, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and a 1.5-litre diesel. Transmission choices are set to remain broad: manual, iMT, IVT and DCT. For the first time, Kia may also add a self-charging hybrid version to the line-up.
The Seltos should gain improved connectivity features, likely including over-the-air update capability, and a more advanced driver-assist package.Kia will reveal full specifications and pricing on December 10. Until then, the test-mule sightings and the details leaked so far point to a significant mid-life update that stretches beyond cosmetics to deliver a more modern, better-equipped Seltos for Indian buyers.
