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.
How Much Horsepower Does the Seltos Have?
The standard powertrain is an efficient 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 147 horsepower, paired with a responsive eight-speed automatic transmission ideal for daily driving. Those seeking stronger performance can step up to the 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder in the X-Line SX, which puts out 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. While front-wheel drive is standard, an available all-wheel-drive system with Multi-Terrain Select gives the SUV added capability.
What Safety Features Does the 2027 Seltos Include?
Kia equips the 2027 Seltos with an impressive lineup of standard safety technologies. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist can automatically brake during left-hand turns at intersections if oncoming traffic is detected. Additional standard driver aids include Lane Following Assist, Smart Cruise Control, Driver Attention Warning, and Intelligent Speed Limit Warning. You can also opt for options like a Blind-Spot View Monitor and Parking Collision-Avoidance Assist for added peace of mind.
