The new Kia Seltos 2026 has already hit the roads. The budget crossover, which will compete with Dacia and Renault Duster, was shown online before the premiere. The manufacturer is trying to keep the novelty a secret.

CarSpyMedia shows the new generation model – the car is almost completely ready. Kia is constantly working on new products for different segments. In the near future, the 2nd generation Kia Seltos crossover will also appear, with sales starting in 2026.

The design is still under wraps, but important conclusions can be drawn. The car has more geometric edges, which are inherent in new Kia models. This distinguishes the new model from its predecessor.

This silhouette was chosen not only for its brutal appearance but also to ensure comfort and maximum practicality in the Kia Seltos cabin. The crossover will be slightly larger and more spacious but will remain affordable with a price of about $25,000.

In addition, it is expected to be richly equipped with modern options. The lineup will include gasoline engines and a hybrid variant.
