2025 Kia Seltos spotted, the second generation car is set to debut in late 2025
The second-generation Kia Seltos has been spotted testing on Indian roads, marking the model’s first appearance in the country. The new Seltos, which is expected to make its global debut in 2025, has already been spied in South Korea but the Indian prototype offers fresh insights into its updated design and features.
Redesigned Exterior with Bold Changes
The latest spy images suggest significant updates to the Seltos’ design, particularly in the front and rear fascia. The SUV features a more upright front end, complemented by newly designed LED headlamps. At the rear, LED taillights reminiscent of the Kia EV5 hint at a modern design language that the brand may be embracing across its lineup.
While the overall proportions remain consistent with the current-generation Seltos, some distinctive elements stand out. Notable among these are the unique two-tone ORVMs (outside rearview mirrors) and an unconventional alloy wheel design with a diamond-cut finish, which adds a touch of sophistication to the vehicle’s profile.
Limited Spy Video Insights
The most recent spy video primarily showcases the rear end of the prototype, leaving the front design changes open to speculation. However, the footage reinforces the SUV’s bold styling direction and hints at Kia’s intent to offer a product that is both familiar and forward-looking.
Powertrain Expectations
Under the hood, the second-generation Seltos is expected to provide a variety of powertrain options tailored to diverse markets. Likely choices include turbo-petrol, diesel and petrol-hybrid engines, catering to the growing demand for electrified powertrains while retaining conventional options for traditional buyers.
Global Debut in 2025
As Kia gears up for the global unveiling of the new Seltos in 2025, the SUV is expected to bring a fresh take on one of the brand’s most popular models. With its updated design and a wide range of powertrain options, the second-generation Seltos could further strengthen Kia’s position in competitive markets, including India.
