Kia Seltos 2025 Launched in India with 24 Variants – Here’s What’s New

Kia Motors has officially launched the 2025 model year of its best-selling SUV, the Kia Seltos, in the Indian market. With prices starting from ₹11.13 lakh to ₹20.50 lakh (ex-showroom), the new Seltos doesn’t bring major design overhauls but offers expanded variants, updated trims, and a rich feature set, making it even more compelling for SUV buyers in the mid-size segment.

Now Available in 24 Variants

Kia has expanded the Seltos lineup with eight new variants, bringing the total to 24 configurations. The new additions include:

• HTE (O)

• HTK (O)

• HTK+ (O)

This gives customers more flexibility based on budget and feature requirements, with choices available across both petrol and diesel powertrains.

New Variant Highlights

HTE (O) Enhanced Entry-Level

• 8-inch touchscreen with Bluetooth connectivity

• 6-speaker sound system

• Steering-mounted audio controls

• LED DRLs and Connected LED Tail Lights

This variant makes Seltos more appealing at the entry-level, offering great value for first-time SUV buyers.

HTK (O) Mid-Level Premium

• 16-inch alloy wheels

• Rear wiper, washer, defogger

• Mood lighting & Cruise Control

• Panoramic sunroof

• Smart Key with Motion Sensor

Ideal for buyers looking for mid-range features with elevated convenience.

HTK+ (O) Upper Mid-Level Luxe

• LED headlamps with sequential turn indicators

• LED fog lamps and 17-inch alloy wheels

• Auto-folding ORVMs

• Mood lamp & smart key system

A stylish, well-equipped option that enhances road presence and comfort.

Engine & Transmission: No Mechanical Changes

The 2025 Seltos retains the same powertrain lineup as the outgoing model, offering:

• 1.5L NA petrol with 6-speed manual or CVT

• 1.5L turbo-petrol with 6-speed iMT or 7-speed DCT

• 1.5L diesel with 6-speed iMT or 6-speed automatic

This ensures that buyers continue to enjoy a mix of performance, refinement, and driving versatility, no matter which variant they pick.

Why Kia Seltos 2025 Stands Out

• Segment-leading features in every price bracket

• Panoramic sunroof, cruise control, and smart key trickling down to lower trims

• Multiple powertrain and transmission options

• A perfect blend of style, space, and tech for Indian roads

Final Verdict: Should You Buy It?

If you’re in the market for a feature-loaded, stylish, and versatile mid-size SUV, the 2025 Kia Seltos continues to be a top contender. With expanded trim options and smart tech updates, it’s now more accessible and customizable than ever before. Whether you prioritize style, practicality, or performance, there’s likely a Seltos variant tailored just for you.
