The all-new Kia Seltos has emerged and it is already looking like a major step up for the SUV.
Kia has revealed the redesigned model with a tougher stance and a much more distinctive identity.
The exterior looks to have been rebuilt to lean harder into the SUV attitude, while the cabin has been transformed with new materials and immersive technology.
Kia says the second-generation Seltos represents a complete rethink in design and purpose and it’s extremely exciting.

The all-new Kia Seltos brings a stronger SUV Character to life
Kia caused some excitement with the announcement of its newest car release – the second-generation Kia Seltos.
The new Seltos seems to have moved away from the softer look of the original and takes on a more intense shape with a wider grille, sharper edges, and a raised up design.
Kia’s new lighting set-up is splashed across the front to create a stronger presence, paired with bolder wheel designs and body cladding that is thicker than its predecessor.
Like with a Tesla design, the door handles are flush to the body of the car, and they add a clean, modern detail while helping the model fit in Kia’s EV family, although this new model seems to be a hybrid design.
The rear of the car has also been redesigned with a fresh LED pattern that makes it look even more modern.
It comes packed with panoramic Tech and Reinvented Interior
Inside, the Kia Seltos switches to a panoramic display setup that brings all the infotainment screens together into a long, sweeping view.
Kia says the interior transformation to a more premium design focuses on both comfort and luxury, making everyday driving easier and longer trips more relaxed.
With extra storage, a smarter layout, and higher quality finishes throughout, the new Kia Seltos feels like it has driven straight into a different league.
The result is a sleek SUV that looks more grown up, feels more refined and offers technology that previously belonged in more expensive cars.
Kia is lining the Seltos up to set new expectations for SUVs, and this redesign makes it one of the most interesting arrivals in the new year.
