Upcoming next-gen Kia Seltos design spied
The excitement around the upcoming new-gen Kia Seltos has been growing, especially after fresh spy shots leaked from South Korea. What’s interesting is the front fascia design of the upcoming next-gen Kia Seltos, which appears to have received a complete overhaul. The new grille with vertical slats is noticeable, and the headlamps have a square shape with soft edges. The lower bumper and the bonnet, though hidden under camouflage, are likely to feature some redesign as well.
The overall front face seems to take design inspiration from the Kia Telluride, with bolder face, broader shoulder lines and roof rails that share a similar style. Though the rest of the exterior is concealed, we can expect a new taillight and updated rear section to follow the same trend. The alloy wheels, though not clearly visible, are expected to get a fresh dual-tone.

Next-gen Kia Seltos prices
The Kia Seltos price currently starts at Rs 10.90 lakh and goes up to Rs 20.45 lakh. However, the upcoming next-gen Kia Seltos price range is likely to be slightly higher. The Kia Seltos is already priced at a higher end in the C-segment SUV space and the new price increase with the 2025 model will only expand the price band further. Hence, one could find some impressive deals in the used car space as there are plenty of low-mileage used Seltos SUVs available.
