Srinagar- Kia India on Wednesday unveiled the All-New Kia Seltos at PAL Kia, Srinagar, marking the local debut of the next-generation mid-size SUV that promises enhanced design, advanced safety and cutting-edge technology. The vehicle was inaugurated by RTO Kashmir, Qazi Irfan (JKAS).

Priced from ₹10.99 lakh (ex-showroom), the all-new Seltos has been developed to meet the evolving expectations of modern SUV buyers. Built on Kia’s India-first global K3 platform, the model represents a significant leap in terms of scale, sophistication and driving refinement.

With a segment-leading length of 4,460 mm, width of 1,830 mm and an extended wheelbase of 2,690 mm, the SUV offers a commanding road presence along with improved cabin space and ride stability. The exterior design follows Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ philosophy and features the new Digital Tiger Face, Ice Cube LED projector headlamps, Star Map LED DRLs, connected LED tail lamps and first-in-segment automatic streamline door handles. The Seltos will be available in 10 mono-tone colour options, including the newly introduced Morning Haze and Magma Red.

Inside, the cabin reflects Kia’s mass-premium positioning, highlighted by a 75.18 cm (30-inch) Trinity Panoramic Display Panel, premium leatherette upholstery, ventilated front seats, a 10-way power-adjustable driver seat with memory function, 64-colour ambient mood lighting, a dual-pane panoramic sunroof and a premium Bose 8-speaker audio system.

Safety remains a key focus, with the All-New Kia Seltos equipped with a 24-standard safety package, including six airbags, ABS and Hill Start Assist. It also offers Level-2 ADAS with 21 autonomous features, a 360-degree surround view camera and Blind View Monitor.

Speaking on the occasion, Managing Director of PAL Kia, Nishant Luthra, said the new Seltos reinforces Kia’s commitment to offering globally competitive, customer-centric products while continuing to set benchmarks in the mid-SUV segment.
