Kia Seltos 2026 Price in UAE

Only one Seltos reaches the UAE, and it is the fully loaded turbo — no stripped-out base car sitting below it to tempt you into a worse purchase. That single-trim decision is the whole story of this model here.

How much does the Kia Seltos cost in the UAE?

AED 99,750 buys the SX 1.4L T-GDi , and there is nothing else to choose. What that price includes is the point: the 1.4 L turbo rather than the naturally aspirated engine sold elsewhere, the big screen, six airbags and a boot that is enormous for a car of this footprint.

Kia Seltos or Hyundai Creta?

The Seltos is the one to take if you drive on the highway at all — the turbo pulls where the Hyundai Creta's engine runs out of breath, and the interior is the more grown-up of the two. The Creta is cheaper and simpler, and honestly enough car for pure city use. The Nissan Kicks undercuts both and feels it from the driver's seat.

What does a Kia Seltos cost to run in the UAE?

Little enough to be a non-issue: about 14 Km/L, on a small turbo that runs happily on regular fuel. Al Majid Motors covers the brand from Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah, which matters mostly for parts pricing — Seltos consumables are shared across half the Kia range, so nothing about a service invoice should surprise you.

Does the Kia Seltos hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

It is one of the strongest performers Kia has here — about 61% of its value after five years, against roughly 51% for Korean cars in the Emirates. The cars reaching CarSwitch for inspection are still young, arriving at a median of around 45,000 km, so mileage is rarely the issue. What to check on the individual car is the turbo's service history and whether the gearbox has had its fluid done on schedule, both of which the inspection report will show you.

Is a used Seltos the better buy?

The saving is real but the pool is shallow. Used examples generally sit around AED 55,000 to AED 70,000, roughly 46% below the new price — about AED 45,000 back in your pocket. Strong resale is what keeps good ones expensive, so the well-kept cars go quickly and the cheap ones are usually cheap for a reason.

Compare the new car with the used Seltos listed now before you decide which side of that gap you want to be on.
