Verdict
If you had a visual rememberance of the Kia Seltos, the 2026 model tosses it out of the window for a more aggressive and a slightly polarising design update. While looks are subjective, you cannot deny the fact that the brand has done tremendous work in keeping it as premium as the segment demands, and with the Koreans already famous for brimming up their vehicles with modern tech, its the updated platform with increased safety that adds the icing to the cake.
