Kia is set to unveil the next-generation Kia Seltos on December 10th. Today, the Korean automaker has released a new teaser video that offers a new glimpse into the upcoming Seltos. This new model, which will be available in India, China, North America, and Europe for the first time, represents a significant evolution for one of Kia’s most successful global nameplates. The third-generation Seltos will be arriving six years after the previous model was launched in 2019.

A New Era for Kia’s Sub-Compact SUV

The 2025 Seltos has been completely reimagined, blending authentic SUV presence with the modern, high-tech design language shaping Kia’s latest models. The redesign aims to advance the Seltos’ reputation for practicality and everyday usability while enhancing style, aerodynamics, and visual impact.

Guided by Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy, the exterior showcases powerful proportions, bold body cladding, and sharp technical surfacing. These elements come together to project confidence, capability, and agility, elevating the Seltos’ personality within the segment.

Distinctive Lighting and Signature Design Cues

At the front, Kia’s signature Star Map daytime running lights establish a crisp, high-tech identity. The rear design mirrors this approach, incorporating both horizontal and vertical lighting graphics to create a cohesive presence from all angles. The result is a visually stable and strongly defined SUV profile.

Enhanced aerodynamics play a key role in the redesign. Flush door handles add a premium, modern touch, reducing drag while contributing to the clean, minimalist aesthetic inspired by Kia’s latest EV lineup.

Expanded Customization With New Colors and Trims

Kia is giving the all-new Seltos broader global appeal with an expanded range of exterior colors and the introduction of distinctive trims, including the adventurous X-Line and the sport-focused GT-Line. These variants enable customers to express their personal style with greater confidence, supporting the model’s growing appeal in diverse markets.

Global Debut Scheduled for December 10

Kia will reveal full exterior and interior details, along with product specifications, during the world premiere of the next-generation Seltos on December 10. The event will be streamed live on Kia’s official YouTube channel, offering a first comprehensive look at one of the brand’s most important global SUV releases.
