Trim Levels

Each trim level builds upon the previous model's equipment, adding distinctive exterior styling cues and extra functionality. The base LX FWD model features 17-inch alloy wheels, halogen bi-function projection headlights, and automatic high beam functionality. Moving up the range, higher trim levels incorporate more sophisticated exterior design elements, including upgraded wheel designs and enhanced lighting systems. All models share the same fundamental proportions, measuring 4385 mm long with a 2630 mm wheelbase that maximizes interior space efficiency.
Performance
The 2026 Kia Seltos offers two powertrain options, which sets the new Seltos apart from many of its rivals. The standard engine is a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit that produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine pairs with a continuously variable automatic transmission and comes standard with front-wheel drive, though all-wheel drive is available on select trim levels. The more powerful option is a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder engine that generates 195 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, which is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and has standard all-wheel drive. The 2.0-litre engine is rated at 8.3 L/100km for city driving and 6.8 L/100km on the highway, with a combined rating of 7.6 L/100km. The turbocharged engine delivers strong acceleration performance while maintaining reasonable fuel consumption figures. Both engines provide smooth power delivery and responsive performance characteristics that make driving the Seltos in various conditions enjoyable. The all-wheel drive system enhances traction and stability when road conditions become challenging, making it an excellent choice for all weather conditions.

The infotainment system centers around an 8.0-inch touchscreen display that includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility at all levels, allowing seamless smartphone integration. The six-speaker audio system delivers clear sound quality throughout the cabin, while manual air conditioning maintains comfortable temperatures.
