The second-generation Kia Seltos 2026 is gearing up for its global debut tomorrow, and fresh interior spy shots of its top-of-the-line GT Line variant have now surfaced online. These images give us a closer look at the updated cabin, dashboard and confirm several key changes over the soon-to-be outgoing model. The new Seltos is already known to be getting a major redesign on the outside, and the latest spotting now reveals how much has changed on the inside as well.
What Was Spotted?
The test mule’s cabin, seen here, is of the Seltos GT Line trim, which looks more premium and modern and is finished in a dual-tone black and white interior theme. The cabin layout gets a new three-spoke flat-bottom steering wheel as seen in the newer Kia SUVs like the new Kia EV6 and global products like the Sorento, which also carries GT Line-specific trim elements. The materials inside also seem upgraded, with textured inserts and contrast stitching on the seats and console.
It gets a single connected panel that houses both the infotainment touchscreen and the fully digital driver display, likely a 12.3-inch setup each. The setup looks similar to the layout found in the Kia Syros. The centre console has also been redesigned with a cleaner arrangement. The gear selector is new, while the drive mode and traction buttons have been repositioned. The storage spaces also seem to be better organised than before. Be sure to check out the Seltos’ official teaser to get an idea about its exterior design.
The dashboard has been refreshed with slimmer AC vents and a new climate control interface. The metal-finish pedals and ambient lighting on the dashboard and doors add to the GT Line’s sporty appeal. Here are the top 5 things you might consider knowing before the new Seltos’ debut tomorrow.
