Seltos overview
This generation of Kia Seltos gets boxier with more aggressive SUV-esque proportions. It truly shines inside with its soft-touch materials, an upmarket cabin, and dual infotainment screens housed in a modern dashboard. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (making 158bhp/253Nm) tested by us felt smooth and responsive, while the DCT transmission performed superbly in traffic.

Pros & cons
From expert reviews
What's good
- The interior quality, material finish, and overall cabin ambience feel genuinely premium.
- The turbo-petrol engine delivers strong performance with smooth, refined power delivery.
- The DCT automatic gearbox is quick-shifting, smooth in traffic, and easy to live with.
- High-end features like a large panoramic sunroof, digital displays and sun-blinds enhance comfort.
- Ride quality has improved over the previous model, with better bump absorption.
What could be better
- The diesel powertrain could use more high-speed grunt.
- Despite improvements, the ride quality is still on the firmer side in the segment.
- The turbo-petrol engine isn’t very fuel-efficient, especially in city driving conditions.
- Some hard plastic elements feel out of place in an otherwise premium cabin.
Does the new Seltos do enough to justify the generational upgrade? More importantly, has Kia finally addressed the ride quality concerns? We spent some time with it to find out.

Drivers car with safety and confidence
Buying experience was good no hard pushing from showroom DCT petrol is really for those who are serious driver with quick reflexes, know how to properly use paddle shifters because there lies the hidden potential of the gear box, Car is stable at speed of 120 with 4 passengers at emergency braking. Looks wise rear scores the most and on highway its the rear that is noted the most, Driven 17000 kms and total servicing cost is 5000 till date. At this price have no such complaints, area to improve is headlights reach, to be much brighter to see the road ahead,

Seltos 2026 gives very premium feel..
Seltos gives a very premium feel. Looks & interior is best in the segment. The driving experience is also very good; city mileage is 13- 14, and highway mileage is above 20 if driven in cruise. Seltos 2026 road presence and balance is better because of the K3 platform.
