What's New for the 2027 Kia Seltos?

For 2027, the Kia Seltos receives a comprehensive redesign. The updated model boasts expanded passenger legroom and cargo capacity alongside cutting-edge modern tech. A bolder exterior design inspired by the larger Telluride gives this compact crossover an even more striking presence.

What Are the 2027 Seltos Trims & Features?

Drivers can select from five distinct trim levels for the new Seltos: LX, S, EX, X-Line S, and X-Line SX.

The base LX model is surprisingly well-equipped with in-demand tech. Standard equipment includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, bright LED headlights, a digital instrument cluster, and a ChatGPT-powered AI voice assistant.

Upgrading to the S trim adds a sportier aesthetic with 18-inch alloy wheels and sleek black exterior accents. Inside, it enhances convenience with a power-adjustable driver's seat and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

For added daily comfort, the Seltos EX delivers premium cabin features. Highlights include dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a convenient smart power liftgate.

Weekend adventurers will appreciate the ruggedly styled X-Line S. Designed for off-pavement journeys, it comes equipped with standard all-wheel drive for enhanced traction on rougher terrain.

Sitting at the top of the range, the high-end X-Line SX combines premium style with top-tier technology. It upgrades your drive with a panoramic sunroof, crisp LED projector headlights, and Level 2 Highway Driving Assist to ease highway commute stress.
