Kia introduced the second‑generation Seltos 2026 in Europe, offering a hybrid powertrain, electrified all‑wheel drive (e‑AWD) and a Vehicle‑to‑Load (V2L) function. European specifications include a 12.3‑inch digital instrument cluster, a second 12.3‑inch infotainment screen, a 5.3‑inch climate‑control display, and dimensions of 4.43 m (L) × 1.83 m (W) × 1.60 m (H) with a 2.69 m wheelbase. The model is available in Baseline, GT Line and X Line trims, with hybrid outputs of 154 hp (front‑wheel) and 178 hp (e‑AWD).

In Indonesia, the Seltos 2026 debuted at the Gaikindo International Auto Show, priced from 359 million rupiah for the Trendy trim up to 469 million rupiah for the GT Line. All three variants use a 1.5‑litre naturally aspirated engine producing 115 PS (85 kW) and 144 Nm of torque, paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The Indonesian version carries the new K3 platform, larger dimensions than its predecessor and a suite of safety and convenience features, including 360‑degree cameras and optional Bose audio.

Kia’s broader strategy includes plans for a strong‑hybrid Seltos in India, though a launch date has not been announced.
