New Next-Gen Kia Seltos Launch Date Set – Stunning Design & New Hybrid!

Kia is ready to shake up the SUV market all over again. The Next-Gen Kia Seltos Launch Date is confirmed for a global reveal on December 10, 2025, in Korea.

The first Seltos was a massive hit. This new 2026 model looks like it will be even bigger. It’s not just a small update; it’s a completely new SUV with two big weapons to beat its rivals. Here’s our simple breakdown of why this new Seltos is a very big deal.

Weapon 1: The “Baby Telluride” Design

This is a huge change. Kia is dropping the sharp, edgy look of the old Seltos. The new model will have a boxy, tough, and more premium look, just like Kia’s bigger and more expensive Telluride SUV.

It gets a wider grille, new square-shaped headlights, and a strong body. This new design makes the Seltos look more like a “baby Telluride,” which will make it feel more costly and special on the road.

Weapon 2: The New Hybrid Engine

This is the real game-changer. For the first time, the Seltos is expected to come with a hybrid engine. This new system will use a 1.5L petrol engine with an electric motor to give amazing mileage.

Why does this matter?

It attacks the Creta, which does not have a hybrid option.
It attacks the Grand Vitara, offering a hybrid engine in a more feature-packed and premium Seltos body.

Of course, the normal 1.5L petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel engines will still be available, so there is a choice for everyone.

A Completely New High-Tech Interior

Inside, the new Seltos will look like the super-premium Kia EV9. The old dashboard is gone. In its place is a giant, single-piece connected screen. This will have a 12.3-inch screen for the driver and another 12.3-inch screen for infotainment.

It will also be packed with top features like:

A Panoramic Sunroof
Dual-Zone Climate Control
Powered Front Seats (with cooling)
LEVEL 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)
Front Parking Sensors

Price and India Launch

The Next-Gen Kia Seltos Launch Date for India is expected sometime in 2026.

The price for the 2026 Kia Seltos will likely be “slightly higher” than the current model. This makes sense because of the all-new design, bigger screens, and new hybrid engine. Kia will still keep the price competitive to fight its rivals.

Conclusion

The Next-Gen Kia Seltos Launch Date of December 10 is big news. Kia is bringing a complete package. The new design looks amazing, the new cabin is full of tech, and the hybrid engine is the final piece of the puzzle. This new Seltos is not just coming to compete; it is coming to win the market all over again.
