The suspense is finally over. We saw the car, we saw the new design, and we knew about the massive 30-inch screen since the global unveil last month. But the one piece of the puzzle missing was the Price.
Now Kia India has officially dropped the pricing for the All-New Seltos 2026, and they have played a masterstroke. Despite being built on the new K3 Platform and offering segment-first features like flush door handles, the starting price has barely increased.
