The Kia Seltos 2025 arrives as a bold evolution of one of India’s most popular mid-size SUVs. With a refreshed design, advanced safety systems, and high-end connectivity features, this new model is tailored for modern SUV buyers who seek power, comfort, and tech-driven convenience in a single package. Kia has taken everything that worked in the earlier Seltos and elevated it to a whole new level.
Here’s a detailed look at the features and enhancements in the Kia Seltos 2025 that make it a stand-out contender in its segment.
Bold New Design
Kia Seltos 2025 receives a stylish and assertive makeover. The front fascia is now sharper, with a wider tiger-nose grille, sleeker LED headlamps and updated DRLs that now flow into the grille, creating a seamless look. The lower bumper and skid plate have also been redesigned for a more muscular appearance.
At the rear, you get connected LED tail lamps, a sportier tailgate, and a new rear bumper with faux exhaust tips in the top variants. The overall road presence has improved significantly, especially in the X-Line variant, which gets a matte paint finish and bold black accents.
Premium Interiors with Dual Displays
The cabin of the Kia Seltos 2025 feels more upmarket than ever. The key highlight is the curved dual-screen setup, featuring:
- A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
- A 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Both screens merge into one sleek panel, providing a modern cockpit-like feel. The infotainment system supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and Kia has improved the overall UI for a more intuitive experience.
Other key interior features include:
- Dual-zone automatic climate control
