Kia Seltos 2025 Launched in India, Kia Seltos with New Features

Kia Seltos 2025 has officially launched in India, bringing a refreshed lineup that’s packed with value and innovation. Priced from ₹11.13 lakh to ₹20.50 lakh (ex-showroom), this updated compact SUV introduces eight new variants, bringing the total to 24 trims. With no cosmetic or mechanical changes, Kia focuses on enhancing features and accessibility to meet evolving consumer demands. Here’s why the Seltos continues to dominate the compact SUV segment.

What’s New in the 2025 Kia Seltos?

Kia has introduced three new trims—HTE (O), HTK (O), and HTK+ (O)—designed to offer more bang for your buck:

  • HTE (O) (Starting at ₹11.13 lakh): The new base variant is a steal, featuring an 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth, a 6-speaker audio system, steering-mounted controls, LED DRLs, connected LED tail lamps, automatic headlights, and a Type-C charging port. It’s one of the most well-equipped base trims in its class.

  • HTK (O) (Starting at ₹12.99 lakh): This mid-tier trim adds a panoramic sunroof, 16-inch alloy wheels, roof rails, rear wiper with defogger, cruise control, and a smart key with a motion sensor for a premium feel.

  • HTK+ (O) (Starting at ₹14.39 lakh): Stepping up, this variant offers 17-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, sequential LED turn indicators, glossy black exterior accents, chrome belt line, and an enchanting mood lamp. Automatic transmission options like IVT are also available.

These additions make the Seltos more versatile, catering to buyers seeking style, tech, and affordability.

Powertrains: Same but Reliable

The 2025 Seltos retains its trusted engine lineup:

  • 1.5L Naturally Aspirated Petrol: 115hp, 144Nm, with 6-speed manual or CVT.

  • 1.5L Turbo Petrol: 160hp, 253Nm, paired with a 6-speed clutchless manual or 7-speed DCT.

  • 1.5L Turbo Diesel: 116hp, 250Nm, available with a 6-speed manual or 6-speed torque converter auto.

With mileage ranging from 17 to 20.7 kmpl (ARAI-claimed), the Seltos balances power and efficiency, ensuring a smooth drive in city traffic and on highways.

Why the Seltos Stands Out

Since its debut in 2019, the Seltos has sold over six lakh units globally, cementing its status as Kia’s top-selling SUV in India. The 2025 update builds on this legacy with:

  • Segment-Leading Features: From panoramic sunroofs to ADAS Level-2 (in higher trims), the Seltos offers tech that rivals premium SUVs.

  • Bold Design: Its aggressive stance, LED lighting, and crystal-cut alloy wheels keep it ahead of competitors like the Hyundai Creta and Maruti Grand Vitara.

  • Value for Money: The new variants ensure there’s a Seltos for every budget, with prices ranging from ₹11.13 lakh to ₹20.50 lakh.

Kia Seltos 2025 is a class in itself when it comes to the perfect balance of style, tech, and value. With its new trims and feature-filled variants, as a first-time buyer or already Kia buyer, the Seltos has something for all.
