2026 Kia Seltos first-drive review: Evolution done right​on December 27, 2025 at 8:04 am

The second-generation Kia Seltos feels like a carefully thought-out evolution rather than a radical overhaul, and that works in its favour. Kia has clearly listened to feedback and focused on making the SUV more comfortable and more usable in real-world conditions. The revised suspension setup stands out as the highlight, delivering a noticeably smoother ride while still keeping the car stable and well-controlled, especially at highway speeds.​The second-generation Kia Seltos feels like a carefully thought-out evolution rather than a radical overhaul, and that works in its favour.
