New Sierra Rival Launch
If you are still confused, we are talking about the new-gen Kia Seltos! Last month, or the last year, Kia unveiled the new-gen Seltos. The SUV now gets a new design, new features, and is based on a new platform. However, the brand decided to create suspense by not announcing the prices. Having said that, tomorrow, that is on the 2nd of January 2026, Kia will finally announce the prices of the new Seltos! But what exactly can we expect? Well, currently, the Seltos is priced between Rs 12.82 lakh & Rs 23.76 lakh (on-road, Mumbai). For the new-gen, we can expect the Seltos to receive a hike of anywhere between Rs 40,000 & Rs 80,000, depending on the variants!
