Press release from Kia NZ:
Kia has unveiled teaser images of the all-new Kia Seltos, ahead of its world premiere later this month. Six years after the launch of the original model in 2019, the Seltos is reborn as a fully redesigned sub-compact SUV that strengthens Kia’s presence in the rapidly growing global B-SUV segment.
Building on its legacy as one of Kia’s most successful global nameplates, the next-generation Seltos embodies authentic SUV styling while expressing a forward-looking, high-tech character. The design blends the rugged heritage of past ICE SUVs with the clean, aerodynamic sophistication of Kia’s latest EVs.
Guided by Kia’s ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy, the exterior features powerful proportions, bold cladding and technical surfacing that project confidence and agility. The front fascia is defined by Kia’s signature Star Map daytime running lights, while the rear adopts matching horizontal and vertical lamp graphics, creating a cohesive and stable visual identity from every angle.
Flush door handles enhance aerodynamic efficiency and add a layer of modern refinement, underscoring the model’s blend of style and practicality.
Reflecting its expanded global ambition, the all-new Seltos will introduce a broader range of exterior color options. Distinctive trims such as X-Line and GT-Line will also be available, offering customers greater freedom to express individuality with confidence.
