The All-New Kia Seltos Has Arrived — and It’s Better Than Ever

The Kia Seltos has always been a strong choice in the subcompact SUV segment, but the all-new model takes everything customers loved about it and raises the bar. Built on an entirely new platform, redesigned inside and out, and loaded with technology that makes everyday driving smarter and more enjoyable, the all-new Seltos is one of the most compelling vehicles Kia has ever produced. And its right here, at Mechanicsville Kia.

A Bolder, More Confident Design
The new Seltos makes an immediate impression. Developed under Kia’s Opposites United design philosophy, it arrives 45 mm longer and 30 mm wider than its predecessor, giving it a more commanding road presence without sacrificing the nimble character that made the original so popular. Up front, a widened grille frames Kia’s vertical Star Map signature daytime running lights, while flush door handles, sculpted wheel-arch moldings, and a floating roofline create a silhouette that looks ready to move even standing still. At the rear, vertical tail lamps extend cleanly across the tailgate for a grounded, purposeful finish.

More Room Where It Matters
Step inside and the improvements are immediately felt. A 60 mm longer wheelbase delivers an additional 25 mm of legroom and up to 14 mm of additional headroom for rear passengers. Cargo capacity grows to a class-leading 536 liters with the rear seats up, and a foldable dual-level cargo board along with Kia’s AddGear modular storage system make it easy to organize the space however your day demands. A new column-type Shift-by-Wire system frees up the center console entirely, opening up the cabin and creating a cleaner, more functional environment for everyone on board. A wide panoramic sunroof and customizable 64-color ambient lighting round out an interior that feels genuinely premium.

Smart Technology at Every Turn
At the heart of the Seltos cabin is a panoramic display combining dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system, paired with Kia’s latest connected car Navigation Cockpit platform and a 12-inch head-up display that projects key driving data directly into the driver’s line of sight. Kia’s AI Assistant, powered by generative AI, allows natural voice interaction for navigation, vehicle controls, entertainment, and everyday queries, reducing distractions while on the road. Digital Key 2 with ultra-wideband technology lets you unlock and lock your Seltos seamlessly via smartphone, and over-the-air software updates keep the vehicle’s capabilities current throughout its life.

Powerful and Efficient Powertrain Options
The all-new Seltos is offered with a choice of engines to suit different driving needs. The standard 2.0L engine delivers reliable everyday performance, while the available 1.6L turbocharged engine adds spirited performance and available AWD for drivers who want more capability. A new 1.6L Hybrid variant rounds out the lineup, introducing Kia’s Smart Regenerative Braking System 3.0 and Vehicle-to-Load functionality that allows the Seltos to power external devices directly from the cabin. The hybrid’s available eAWD system further enhances traction and confidence in low-grip conditions.

Built With Safety as a Priority
The all-new Seltos has been engineered to meet the most demanding global safety standards, targeting five stars under North American NCAP, Top Safety Pick from IIHS, and a reinforced structure throughout. The advanced driver assistance suite includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist 2, Highway Driving Assist 2, Lane Keeping Assist 2, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, Safe Exit Warning, and a Surround View Monitor, giving drivers and passengers confidence on every type of road.
