Design & Styling

The 2025 Kia Seltos makes a strong impression with its bold design. Up front, the reworked tiger-nose grille features a more prominent mesh pattern that enhances its sporty character. Flanking it are sharper redesigned headlamps lending the Seltos a striking and aggressive stance. At the rear, connected LED taillights and a redesigned bumper add a sporty touch.

Sitting on newly designed 16-inch alloy wheels, the Seltos offers an enhanced road presence. Measuring 4,365mm in length, it strikes a balance between city-friendly compactness and a commanding stance. Overall, the Seltos’ styling makes it look more premium than its price suggests.?
