Kia India has officially launched the much-anticipated Kia Seltos 7-Seater version of the Seltos in 2025, expanding the appeal of its best-selling SUV to larger families. With added practicality, spacious third-row seating, and subtle design changes, the new Seltos 7-seater is priced from ₹12.99 lakh, making it a strong contender in India’s growing family SUV market.
Extended Design with Smart Dimensions
The 7-seater Seltos retains its aggressive styling but features a slightly stretched wheelbase and extended rear quarter to accommodate the third row. It sports a revised rear design with updated LED tail lamps, a new bumper, and a subtly reworked roofline that gives it a more upright and mature profile. Despite the added space, the SUV maintains its compact appeal and road-friendly proportions for city and highway use alike.
Spacious Cabin with 3 Rows of Comfort
Inside, the new Seltos offers a 3-row layout with either a 6-seater captain seat configuration or a 7-seater bench setup in the middle row. The dashboard remains premium with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, fully digital instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charging, and premium upholstery in higher variants. Kia has smartly adjusted the second-row sliding function to make ingress and egress into the third row easier, especially for kids and shorter passengers.
Performance and Engine Options
The Kia Seltos 7-seater is offered with the same reliable engine lineup a 1.5L naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5L diesel engine, and a 1.5L turbo-petrol engine in the higher trims. Buyers can choose from 6-speed manual, CVT, and 7-speed DCT automatic gearboxes depending on the variant. Kia has tuned the suspension for added weight and longer wheelbase, ensuring comfort even when fully loaded with passengers.
Tech and Safety Features
Just like its 5-seater sibling, the 7-seater Seltos comes equipped with modern safety features including six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control, hill start assist, reverse camera, and ISOFIX mounts. Top variants also feature Kia’s Level 2 ADAS suite with lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and adaptive cruise control.
