Kia India has officially launched the 2025 Seltos, strengthening its position in the competitive compact SUV segment. With the introduction of eight new variants, the total number of trims now reaches 24, giving customers a wider range of options. The starting price is ₹11.13 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base HTE (O) variant, while the top-spec X-Line variant is priced at ₹20.5 lakh (ex-showroom). The 2025 Seltos update focuses on added features, better equipment, and an overall enhanced ownership experience. Even the entry-level trims now offer premium touches, helping Seltos stand out among rivals and deliver exceptional value for money in the compact SUV category.
What’s New in the 2025 Kia Seltos?
Kia has loaded the 2025 Seltos with feature upgrades across all new variants. The HTE (O) variant, despite being the base model, now boasts features like an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, 6-speaker audio setup, LED DRLs, automatic headlights, and rear AC vents. Stepping up, the HTK (O) variant starting at ₹12.99 lakh brings in a panoramic sunroof, cruise control, 16-inch alloy wheels, and mood lighting. For those wanting even more, the HTK+ (O) variant priced at ₹14.39 lakh adds premium features like LED headlights, 17-inch alloy wheels, sequential turn indicators, and gloss black exterior accents. Powertrain options remain the same, including the 1.5L NA petrol, 1.5L turbo petrol, and 1.5L diesel engines, ensuring both performance and efficiency.
Why the 2025 Kia Seltos Stands Out
The 2025 update solidifies the Kia Seltos as one of the most feature-packed compact SUVs in India. Even base variants like the HTE (O) deliver a premium feel with essential modern features, while higher trims provide tech and luxury usually found in pricier segments. Kia’s strategic move to offer more choices and value aims to push Seltos sales further in a market filled with strong competitors. According to Kia India’s Sr. VP, Hardeep Singh Brar, the Seltos has been central to the brand’s success in India, and this latest update is designed to meet evolving customer needs. With these thoughtful enhancements, the 2025 Kia Seltos is well-positioned to remain a top choice for buyers seeking a balanced mix of style, technology, and performance.
