Kia Seltos 2026 Price in Saudi Arabia

The Kia Seltos is a compact crossover SUV that has built a strong following in Saudi Arabia on the strength of its well-appointed interior, reliable powertrain, and competitive pricing. The 2026 range opens at SAR 78,180 for the entry-level LX 1.5L (Base) and rises to SAR 105,415 for the range-topping SX 1.4L Turbo (Top).

The entry LX 1.5L (Base) runs a naturally aspirated 1.5 L petrol engine producing 115 bhp, mated to an Automatic gearbox — suited to everyday urban and highway driving with a focus on economy. The top-spec SX 1.4L Turbo (Top) steps up to a 1.4-litre turbocharged unit with meaningfully more performance, alongside additional comfort and technology features that justify the price premium for buyers who plan to keep the car long-term. Both trims are competitive on running costs, making them manageable despite rising fuel awareness among Saudi buyers.

Pros: the Seltos offers an unusually refined interior experience for a compact crossover at this price, with quality materials and intuitive technology. The broad trim spread means buyers can right-size their spend without compromising on core features. Cons: the base engine, while adequate, feels underpowered when the car is loaded or climbing grades — buyers who regularly carry full passenger loads may find the turbo trim worth the upgrade. Rear headroom can feel tight for taller passengers on longer journeys.

Used Seltos examples are actively listed on CarSwitch, with 2024 models ranging from SAR 64,000 to SAR 75,000 — offering a useful indication of depreciation for buyers evaluating the total cost of ownership.

Before committing, most buyers also take a look at the Hyundai Creta, MG ZS and Nissan Kicks — direct rivals at a similar price point.
