The All-New 2027 Kia Seltos: Built for Every Day and Beyond

The next generation of one of Kia’s most popular nameplates is bigger, smarter, and more capable than ever before. Designed for drivers whose days can begin with a commute and end with an adventure, the 2027 Seltos arrives as a genuinely compelling right-sized SUV that punches well above its class.

The new Seltos draws clear design inspiration from Kia’s flagship Telluride, and it shows. Amber daytime running lights frame a bold new front fascia, while flush door handles, clean character lines, and available new colors including Terrain Brown, Frost Blue, and Snow White Pearl with a black roof give it a striking presence on the road. Ground clearance has grown from 7.5 inches to an available 8.1 inches, and the Seltos is now longer, wider, and rides on a wheelbase that is 2.4 inches greater than its predecessor, all without losing the nimble, right-sized character that made it a fan favorite.

The larger footprint translates directly into a more spacious cabin. It delivers best-in-class passenger volume of 103.5 cubic feet, with more headroom, hip room, and shoulder room than before, plus a class-leading 39 inches of second-row legroom. Cargo space has grown as well, with a class-leading 64.2 cubic feet of maximum cargo space behind the first row. A foldable luggage board and Kia’s new AddGear modular attachment points give you even more flexibility for whatever the day demands. Inside, a squared-off steering wheel, open center console design, and clean horizontal dashboard layout connect the Seltos visually to the Telluride and give the cabin a genuinely upscale feel.

The 2027 Seltos also brings an impressive technology suite to the compact SUV segment. A standard 12.3-inch digital touchscreen pairs with an available panoramic display combining up to nearly 30 inches of total screen real estate, integrating the infotainment system and digital cluster into a single seamless panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims, and the available Kia AI Assistant lets you control navigation, entertainment, and vehicle functions with natural conversation, initiated simply by saying “Hey, Kia.” Over-the-air update capability keeps the system current throughout the life of the vehicle.

Entertainment goes next level with available streaming support for Disney+, Netflix, and YouTube, along with display themes for all 30 NBA teams and special themes celebrating Kia’s sponsorship of the FIFA World Cup 2026. Five standard USB-C ports ensure everyone on board stays charged up, and available Kia myQ Connected Garage lets you control your garage door directly from the touchscreen.

Plus, the 2027 Seltos is the only CUV in its segment to offer three powertrain options. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission is available in LX, S, X-Line S, and EX trims, with pricing starting at just $24,990 MSRP. For drivers wanting more performance, the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine produces 190 horsepower with standard Multi-Mode AWD and an 8-speed automatic, available exclusively in the X-Line SX trim starting at $32,790 MSRP. Rounding out the lineup is an all-new 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain featuring a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and available e-AWD, a Kia first on a hybrid SUV. Additional details on the hybrid will be shared closer to its on-sale date later this year.

You’ll also get to experience one of the most comprehensive safety suites in its class. Standard features include Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist 2, Driver Attention Warning, High-Beam Assist, and Front and Reverse Parking Distance Warning. Available features add a 360-degree Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor with live video feed, Rear Cross Traffic Avoidance, and Safe Exit Warning, bringing a level of driver assistance technology typically found in much more expensive vehicles.
