At its Investor Day presentation last month, Kia confirmed that the new Seltos would arrive with a hybrid powertrain as part of its global plans to push sales of electrified models. The carmaker also revealed plans to bring hybrid technology to the Indian market, targeting to have 25 per cent of its sales in the country to come from hybrids by 2030.

The new-gen Seltos is expected to make its global debut later this year, and sales in global markets are likely to commence in early 2026. An India launch, too, looks likely, as the model has proven to be popular with Indian customers. The new-gen model could also gain notable technological advances, including offering a wider range of ADAS tech, among other features.
