The 2025 Kia Seltos has remained virtually unchanged over the past year, but prices have increased slightly across all trim levels.
Kia Australia calls the price increase a “small economy increase”, ranging from $70 for front-wheel drive versions to $90 for four-wheel drive versions.
However, this only applies to the listed price, nationwide car rental prices do not change year-on-year.
While there are no changes to the Kia Seltos’ standard equipment, the automaker says it will soon roll out a software update that will make it easier for drivers to disable Intelligent Speed Limit Assist (ISLA).
In the first half of 2024, Kia sold 4,537 Seltos in Australia. Although that figure is still behind the best-selling model MG ZS, GWM Haval Jolion, Mazda CX-30 And Mitsubishi ASXit has sold better Volkswagen T-Roc (4096 sales), Chery Omoda 5 (2933 sales) and Suzuki Vitara (1326 sales).
