Engine setup promises smooth yet powerful driving
The Kia Seltos 2025 will continue to offer its refined engine choices, including the 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, a 1.5-litre turbo petrol unit, and the fuel-efficient 1.5-litre diesel. These engines are paired with multiple transmission options like 6-speed manual, iMT, IVT, and 7-speed DCT. The turbocharged petrol motor is tuned to produce 160PS, delivering brisk acceleration and smooth performance for both city and highway use.
Improved mileage for everyday efficiency
Kia has optimized fuel efficiency in the 2025 Seltos with minor tweaks to engine mapping. The naturally aspirated petrol variant is expected to deliver a mileage of around 17 kmpl, while the turbo-petrol returns close to 18 kmpl. The diesel variant, known for its frugal nature, offers up to 20.7 kmpl depending on the variant and driving conditions. These numbers make the Seltos a good option for long-distance as well as daily commutes.
Upgraded features with enhanced practicality
The 2025 Seltos now gets a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, powered driver seat, 10.25-inch touchscreen with Kia Connect, and ADAS features like lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and high beam assist. Other additions include 18-inch alloy wheels, front and rear dash cameras, ventilated front seats, wireless phone charging, and ambient lighting. Boot space remains ample at 433 litres, suitable for travel and city life alike.
Pricing and latest market offer details
The 2025 Kia Seltos is expected to start from ₹10.90 lakh and go up to ₹20 lakh (ex-showroom). Kia may also offer introductory pricing for the turbo variants and attractive finance options through tie-ups with leading banks. Some dealerships may even include exchange bonuses or extended warranties during launch season, giving early buyers an edge.
Advanced features make it stand out
A big highlight for 2025 is the inclusion of Level 2 ADAS across select variants, which was earlier limited to top-end models. It also now supports over-the-air (OTA) updates for the infotainment system, voice commands in multiple languages, and remote engine start. The Seltos now features a premium 8-speaker Bose sound system for enhanced cabin experience.
Looks bold with refreshed styling touches
Kia has updated the design with a larger grille, sleeker LED DRLs, and new bumper designs. The tail lamps now come with a connecting light bar, adding to its modern stance. The Seltos maintains its signature upright SUV profile but with sharper creases and new alloy wheel patterns. The cabin too feels more upmarket with leatherette upholstery and a new dashboard layout.
Confident performance across terrain
Thanks to improved suspension tuning, the Seltos 2025 offers better ride comfort and handling balance. It remains planted at high speeds and absorbs bumps efficiently on rough roads. The steering response feels more direct and the NVH levels are lower than before, making long journeys more enjoyable. Turbo petrol variants in particular deliver a sporty, responsive experience.
