Examines the significant discounts that Kia dealers are giving on exiting Seltos inventory.
Contrasts the features of the new 2026 Seltos with those of the previous model.
Since its launch, the Kia Seltos has been one of the most well-liked mid-size SUVs in India because of its well-balanced performance, spacious cabin, and high level of equipment.
Dealers nationwide are currently providing cash discounts of up to ₹1.6 lakh to clear stock before the new version arrives, as the new-generation Seltos is set for premiere on January 2, 2026.
Offers on the Departing Seltos
The departing Seltos is still available in a number of petrol and diesel models, with pre-discount costs ranging from approximately ₹10.79 lakh to ₹19.81 lakh (ex-showroom), depending on the model.
These huge dealer reductions mean that some purchasers could pay much less than the sticker price if they negotiate wisely and select the outgoing stock, even though the official price list stays the same.
The significant reductions on this outgoing Seltos stock are mostly dealer-led to make place for incoming inventory, even though Kia's year-end offers include incentives across their model lineup, including up to ₹3.65 lakh in combined benefits on select models.
What You Miss and What You Get
The departing Seltos is no slouch in terms of features, despite being an older generation. A panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, an 8-way powered driver seat, a Bose sound system, two dashcams, and several safety features make it an excellent value for the money.
But compared to the previous model, the 2026 Seltos offers a number of improvements. It has a larger boot and cabin room, is broader, and is built on a more recent base. Among the major upgrades anticipated in the new model are larger screens, a redesigned interior, and an improved Level 2+ ADAS suite with cutting-edge safety features.
Should You Wait or Buy Now?
The outgoing Seltos with significant discounts may be a desirable choice for customers who desire great feature content and quick delivery at a lower cost. The driving experience will be familiar since the powertrain options are essentially the same as in the new Seltos.
However, even if the 2026 Seltos may cost more and have a shorter waiting period after debut, waiting for it can be worthwhile if you appreciate the newest style, roomier cabin, and cutting-edge technology.
