Kia Seltos 2025 teaser released: Check pictures, video, what’s new, launch date, and key upgrades

Kia has dropped the first teaser for the upcoming Seltos, offering a clear look at what’s changing in the refreshed SUV. The updated model is scheduled to make its India debut on December 10, 2025. The Seltos has already been spotted on test multiple times, and the new teaser confirms substantial exterior and interior revisions.

The front of the SUV now features a redesigned grille with vertical elements, flanked by vertically stacked three-pod LED headlamps and sleeker DRLs. The bumper appears more muscular, and the model will also get a large panoramic sunroof. Kia has also posted some images showing a roofrail and a shark fin antenna. In the rear, there's a connected LED tail lamp, tweaked vertically at both ends.

Previous spy shots hinted at a refreshed side profile with new alloy wheels. Camouflaged prototypes suggested a more upright, confident stance on the road.

Inside, the new launch is expected to introduce a modern triple-screen setup — likely two 12.3-inch displays for the instrument cluster and infotainment, along with a dedicated 5-inch touchscreen for climate controls. Kia is also expected to tweak the cabin layout to improve space and overall usability.

Mechanically, the current engine options are set to continue. This includes the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol and the 1.5-litre diesel, paired with manual, iMT, IVT and DCT gearbox choices. Kia may also introduce a self-charging hybrid variant for the first time.

Feature upgrades are likely to include enhanced connected-car tech with OTA update support and a more capable ADAS suite.

Kia will announce complete details and pricing on December 10. Based on the teaser and test sightings, the upcoming launch appears to be a major upgrade, offering more than just cosmetic tweaks to deliver a more premium, better-equipped Seltos for India.
