First of all, the 2026 Seltos is bigger in size than the old model. The new generation Seltos is 95 mm long and 80 mm wide. It is also 30 mm wider and has 14 liters of extra boot space. Along with updated design elements, the increased size has improved the road presence of the new generation Seltos while also increasing cabin space and overall practicality compared to the outgoing model.
One change in the design of the 2026 Seltos is the flush type door handles. Unlike the conventional door handles found on older Seltos models, the new model has flush type door handles. What’s even better is that they are motorized, which gives Seltos owners an added convenience.
The Seltos 2026 model features a 10-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat, which also includes power adjustable lumbar support. Older models had 8-way electrically adjustable seats, with no lumbar support.
Older Seltos models only had a single-panel sunroof option. In contrast, the new generation model has a panoramic sunroof that covers most of the cabin. Kia has added a new feature to the safety kit of the new Seltos which is the side parking sensor.
The highlight of the completely redesigned interior of the new generation Kia Seltos is its updated infotainment system and digital driver display. Compared to the smaller 10.25-inch display found in older Seltos, it now gets a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital driver display. In this update, a separate 5-inch touchscreen panel for climate control has also been added.
