Expert Verdict: 2026 Kia Seltos

here is our quick take on the 2026 Kia Seltos mileage:

• Diesel (19.4 kmpl): The highway king. It’s the only choice for heavy mile-munchers who want consistent 16–18 kmpl in the real world.
• 1.5L Petrol (17.7 kmpl): The rational pick. Refined and predictable; perfect for urban families who want a smooth CVT (IVT) without the “diesel rattle.”
• 1.5L Turbo (17.9 kmpl): The hidden cost. While the ARAI is high, this engine is very sensitive to throttle. Drive it hard, and your city mileage will crash to 8–10 kmpl.
