With rumours of an all-new Seltos already circulating, it’s natural to wonder: should you wait it out or go for the current 2025 model? Here's the thing—this isn’t just a filler generation. The current Seltos has matured into a well-rounded, feature-loaded SUV that holds its own. These five reasons prove why it's still worth buying in 2025.
From the value-driven HTE(O) to the top-spec X-Line, the 2025 Seltos now offers more than 20 variants, including 8 new trims. You get unmatched flexibility—across petrol, turbo-petrol, diesel, manual, iMT, CVT, DCT.
A panoramic sunroof, dual-zone climate control, 10.25” touchscreen with navigation, BOSE sound system, ventilated seats, 8-way powered driver’s seat, and even a head-up display—the Seltos doesn’t skimp on goodies. And crucially, many of these features are available before you hit the top-end trims, making the mid-spec variants highly desirable.
Few SUVs offer this much choice: three engines, four transmission types. Whether you want turbo-petrol performance, diesel efficiency, or petrol CVT smoothness—it's all here.
According to Frost & Sullivan, Seltos petrol variants are 17% cheaper to maintain than the industry average. Diesel trims are among the lowest in ownership costs. This means fewer surprises at service time—and better value over time. Add Kia’s extended warranty packs, and peace of mind becomes part of the deal.
Even in FY2025, the Seltos remains a core volume driver for Kia and in April 2025 alone, it clocked 6,135 units. Why? Because it still checks all the right boxes: design, features, options, and brand value. New-gen or not, the current Seltos still feels like a future-proof buy.
