Kia Seltos Price in India 2026

The 2026 Kia Seltos offers three distinct Bharat Stage VI (BS6 2.0) compliant powertrains. The performance flagship is the 1.5L Smartstream T-GDi Turbo Petrol producing 160 PS and 253 Nm of torque. For city efficiency, the 1.5L Smartstream NA Petrol delivers 115 PS and 144 Nm. The 1.5L CRDi VGT Diesel remains the long-distance choice with 116 PS and 250 Nm. The Turbo Petrol variant is remarkably quick, achieving 0-100 km/h in approximately 8.9 seconds with a top speed of 190 km/h. All engines utilize a DOHC valve train with 4 cylinders. The petrol units use GDI/MPFi systems respectively, while the diesel uses a CRDi fuel system.

Kia provides one of the most diverse transmission lineups in India. The Turbo Petrol is paired with a 6-speed iMT (Clutchless Manual) or a lightning-fast 7-speed DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). The NA Petrol comes with a 6-speed Manual or an IVT (CVT). The Diesel engine offers a 6-speed Manual or a 6-speed Torque Converter Automatic. All Indian variants are Front-Wheel Drive (FWD). Clutch types vary from dry single plate for manuals to a sophisticated dual-clutch setup for the DCT.

The Seltos measures 4,365 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width, and 1,645 mm in height (with roof rails). It sits on a 2,610 mm wheelbase, which provides ample cabin room. The 190 mm ground clearance is optimized for Indian road conditions. Its kerb weight ranges between 1,250 kg to 1,480 kg depending on the powertrain, and it maintains a tight turning radius of 5.3 meters.

The vehicle offers a generous 433-litre boot, expandable via 60:40 split-folding rear seats. It features a 50-litre fuel tank across all engine variants. The seating capacity is strictly for 5 occupants, with the rear bench offering adjustable headrests and a center armrest.

It also features Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC) and ISOFIX child seat anchors. High-end trims (GTX+/X-Line) are equipped with Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) including Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The Seltos features a MacPherson Strut front suspension with coil springs and a Coupled Torsion Beam Axle (CTBA) at the rear. Unlike many competitors, it provides Disc brakes on all four wheels as standard in most mid-to-high trims. Wheel sizes range from 16-inch steel (HTE) to 17-inch alloys (HTK/HTX) and 18-inch crystal-cut alloys (GTX/X-Line) with 215/55 R18 tyres.
