Let's take a closer look at the other specifications of the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/new-seltos/">new Seltos</a>.&nbsp;</p><h2><strong>New-Gen Kia Seltos: Design</strong></h2><p><br></p><p><img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/12/New-Kia-Seltos-SUV-Revealed-Rear-1765354509730.webp" alt="New Kia Seltos SUV Revealed Rear.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;"></p>
    <p>The SUV's body lines are clean, and its presence looks noticeably stronger with a wider stance. The bonnet at the front sits lower, complementing the updated Tiger Face styling. The lighting setup is more striking than before, with slim vertical DRLs headlamps that fit neatly along the grille’s edges, highlighted&nbsp;by a combination of C-shaped and horizontal LED elements. </p><p>From the side, the new Seltos&nbsp;now appears more refined, featuring prominent wheel-arch cladding, silver roof rails, flush door handles, and a sharp kink in the window line. At the rear, a redesigned bumper, connected&nbsp;taillight strip, and silver faux skid plate complete the SUV’s distinctive design. It is to be noted that some styling and packaging may vary based&nbsp;on the model selected.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Key Highlights include</strong>: <br><br><strong>-Kia Digital Tiger Face<br>-A Black High-Gloss Grille<br>-Ice Cube Led Projection Headlamps with Star Map LED DRLS<br>-LED Front Fog Lamps<br>-Star Map Connected Taillamps<br>-An Integrated Rear Spoiler with LED High-Mount Stop Lamp<br>-18-Inch Crystal-Cut Alloy Wheels with Neon Callipers<br>-Automatic Streamline Door Handles<br>-Side Door Garnish with Body-Colour Accents<br>-Front And Rear Skid Plates with a Dark Gunmetal Finish</strong></p><p><strong>Also Read:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.autox.com/news/car-news/mg-hector-facelift-india-launch-on-december-15-122414/">MG Hector Facelift India Launch on December 15</a></p><h2><strong>New-Gen Kia Seltos: Dimensions</strong></h2><p>The all-new <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/seltos/">Kia Seltos </a>measures 4,460mm in length, 1,830mm in width,&nbsp;and 1,635mm in height, which makes it 95mm longer and 30mm wider than&nbsp;its predecessor.

2026 Kia Seltos GT Line Interior Spied in India: Here's What’s New

The 2026 Kia Seltos GT Line's interior is showcased in new spy images, featuring dual displays, updated controls, and additional changes ahead of its global debut on 10 December.

<p>The Kia Carens has been selling well in the market, surpassing the sales milestone of 2 lakh units since its launch in 2021. More than three years on, this three-row offering was due for an update. But instead of introducing a direct replacement for the old model, Kia has launched a new, more premium and feature-rich vehicle based on the Carens: the Carens Clavis. While Carens reflects its lineage, Clavis derives from a Latin phrase meaning ‘the Golden Key’. So, what key updates set the Carens Clavis apart from the standard Carens?</p>

<p>Let’s find out.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Looks: MPV Turned SUV</h2>

<p>Despite sharing its underpinnings with the Carens, the Clavis sports a distinctly different look. This is largely due to design elements like the new Digital Tiger Nose grille and the striking Star Map LED DRLs paired with a redesigned headlamp cluster. The front fascia is mostly closed off – reminiscent of electric vehicles – and resembles Kia’s newer models like the Syros and EV9. A prominent silver-finished chrome skid plate at both ends adds a rugged, SUV-like character, further enhanced by the raised bonnet, which gives the front-end profile a more commanding presence.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-alloy-wheel-1749466914961.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-alloy-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Contributing to its more premium appearance are the 17-inch alloy wheels, an inch larger than those on the standard Carens. In terms of dimensions, the Clavis is 10mm longer, while the rest of its measurements remain unchanged. As a result, it has the same boot capacity as the Carens – 216 litres.</p>

    
  
    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Interior: Premium Cabin and New Tech Features</h2>

<p>Step inside the Clavis, and you are welcomed by a noticeably more premium and modern cabin. There’s a clear focus on technology and aesthetics, with improved materials on the dashboard that are both visually appealing and well-finished.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation-1749466906825.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-View-Of-Steering-Console-And-Instrumentation.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>New additions include a connected island that houses twin 10.25-inch displays, a four-way power-adjustable driver’s seat, an updated steering wheel, and a larger dual-pane panoramic sunroof. One notable feature is the hybrid touch panel that toggles between media and climate controls. While it saves space on the dashboard, its usability while driving is questionable, as it requires taking your eyes off the road.</p><p>The second row remains largely unchanged. The Clavis is offered in both 6- and 7-seat configurations, similar to the Carens.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03-1755597189589.webp" alt="Kia-Clavis_Diesel_MTReview_autoX_03.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The 7-seat variant now includes a three-point seatbelt for the middle passenger. A convenient walk-in feature allows the second-row passenger to adjust the front passenger seat via a lever on its side. Additionally, a one-touch tumble function for the left-side second-row seat makes accessing the third row quite easier.</p>

    
  
    
  


<p>Due to the extended sunroof reaching the second row, the roof-mounted AC vents have been repositioned to the sides.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Sunroof-top-1749466922473.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Sunroof-top.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>It’s slightly disappointing that the under-thigh support in the second row hasn’t seen any improvement. As for the third row, it’s reasonably comfortable for short trips but is more suitable for children than adults due to limited under-thigh support and legroom. That said, Kia has thoughtfully equipped the third row with AC vents, reading lights, two USB-C ports, and cupholders, adding to the overall practicality.</p>

<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Driving Experience: Comfort-Focussed and Easygoing</h2>

<p>The drivetrain options for the Clavis are the same as the Carens – a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol, a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol, and a 1.5-litre diesel engine. Power and torque figures are also the same, but the Clavis now gets a 6-speed manual transmission option with the 1.5-litre turbo-petrol variant.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-side-profile-dynamic-1749466901849.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-side-profile-dynamic.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>True to its character, the Clavis is tuned for comfort. This is evident in its quiet cabin, light steering, and well-cushioned suspension setup. Ground clearance is also generous – I didn’t encounter any issues, even when tackling tall speed breakers, during the test.</p><p>A key upgrade over the Carens is the inclusion of 20 Level 2 ADAS features, enhancing overall safety.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/08/Kia-Carens-Clavis-steering-wheel-1755582015733.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-steering-wheel.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>The Clavis is also equipped with additional cameras that enable a 360-degree surround view system, making parking and manoeuvring in tight spaces significantly easier.</p>

    
  


<h2>Kia Carens Clavis Verdict: A Value-Packed Upgrade Over the Carens?</h2>

<p>The Carens Clavis is undoubtedly a step up from the standard Carens. It offers a more modern design and additional features while retaining the plush ride quality and versatile powertrain options that made the original appealing.</p><p>
      <div style="width: 100%; height: auto;" class="post-image">
        <img src="https://images.autox.com/uploads/2025/06/Kia-Carens-Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter-1749466928839.webp" alt="Kia Carens Clavis-Rear-Three-Quarter.jpg" style="width: 100%; height: auto;">
      </div>
    </p><p>Pricing for the Carens Clavis starts at a very attractive ₹11.50 lakh while the top trim costs ₹21.50 lakh. The base price is just a touch higher which is great to see. In my opinion, even the higher trims justify the hike because of the features they now come with. The Carens Clavis is an easy recommendation for families looking for a well-rounded and feature-rich three-row vehicle.</p>

Kia Carens Clavis First Drive Review - Raising the Bar

The new Kia Carens Clavis is here with fresh styling and more features, but does it offer enough to stand out as a better choice for Indian families?

<p><strong>-The next-generation Kia Seltos is set to be unveiled on December 10.<br>-It is likely to feature a panoramic sunroof, rear LED light bar, retractable door handles, and LED welcome animation.<br>-Same Powertrain options: 1.5-litre NA petrol (113bhp/144Nm), 1.5-litre turbo petrol (158bhp/253Nm), and 1.5-litre diesel (114.4bhp/250Nm).</strong></p>
<p>Kia has kicked off December with a small glimpse of the next-generation Seltos, set to debut next week. While the teaser video keeps most details under wraps, it offers a hint of a new design language for the midsize SUV, in line with Kia’s global styling standards. The SUV seems to have a wide, chrome-accented ‘Tiger Nose’ grille, with the signature <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/">Kia</a> badge positioned prominently above it. The DRLs are sleek and vertically positioned, while the headlights are cleverly integrated at the&nbsp;grille’s edges, featuring striking C-shaped and horizontal LED patterns. </p><p>Other highlights include LED welcome animations&nbsp;for both the DRLs and headlights, and a panoramic sunroof. Price-wise, the all-new Seltos is likely to fetch a considerable premium over the existing model, which is currently priced between&nbsp;Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.81 lakh (both, ex-showroom).&nbsp;</p>
<p>Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect from the revamped Seltos in India.</p>

<h2><strong>New Kia Seltos: What to Expect?</strong></h2>
<p>The next-gen <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-cars/kia/seltos/">Kia Seltos </a>has been spotted testing across global and Indian markets on several occasions, revealing notable upgrades for both the exterior and interior.&nbsp;These include a redesigned grille, larger rear quarter glass, squarish LED headlight clusters,&nbsp;new alloy wheels, retractable door handles, angled turn indicators, C-shaped LED taillights, and a horizontal tailgate accent hinting at a possible central light strip.</p>

<p>Inside, the updated Seltos is expected to have a minimalist design inspired by the Syros and the EV9. It could feature a high-tech triple-screen layout,&nbsp;comprising two 12.3-inch screens and a 5-inch touchscreen for climate control. Though there&nbsp;is no confirmation, Kia may offer electrically adjustable front seats with cooling, dual-zone&nbsp;climate control with rear AC vents, and a wireless phone charger with the new Seltos.</p><p>

    <p><br></p>
<p>Additionally, the all-new Seltos SUV is likely to include a 360-degree camera, a tyre pressure monitoring system, Level-2 ADAS&nbsp;with electronic parking brake with auto-hold, adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, and lane-keep assist.</p><p>

      </div>
    <p><br></p>
<p>The India-spec second-generation Seltos is expected to retain the same powertrain options as the current model, including a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol&nbsp;engine with 113bhp and 144Nm, a 1.5-litre turbo-petrol delivering 158bhp and 253Nm, and a 1.5-litre diesel generating 114.4bhp and 250Nm.</p>

<p>Transmission options&nbsp;include a 6-speed manual or CVT for the N/A petrol, a 6-speed iMT or 7-speed&nbsp;DCT for the turbo-petrol, and a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic for the diesel, with all variants featuring front-wheel drive.</p>

New Kia Seltos Design Teased Ahead of India Launch on December 10

The all-new Kia Seltos is likely to fetch a considerable premium over the existing model, which is currently priced between Rs 10.79 lakh and Rs 19.81 lakh (both, ex-showroom).
