Kia has unveiled the redesigned 2027 Seltos, a subcompact SUV that gets an upgrade in size and technology. The new model is longer by almost two inches to 174.4-inches overall, making it more spacious inside.
Key Takeaways
- Larger interior space with a wheelbase of 105.9 inches and an updated K3 platform for better handling.
- New design language featuring flush door handles, wider stance, and LED lighting to mimic electric SUVs.
- Available tech features like Harman Kardon audio system, panoramic sunroof, and ambient lighting.
The Seltos now comes with a 30-inch display combining two 12.3-inch screens for an upscale look inside the cabin. The standard engine is a 2.0-liter four-cylinder producing 147 horsepower paired with CVT transmission, while turbocharged options are available in some markets.
For U.S. buyers, Kia will offer a more powerful 190 hp variant of its 1.6-liter turbocharged engine mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. A hybrid version is also on the horizon but details aren’t finalized yet.
The Seltos competes with other subcompact SUVs like the Honda HR-V and Toyota C-HR, both known for their compact size and practicality. Compared to these rivals, the new Kia offers more interior space and advanced features at a similar price point.
With its updated design and improved technology, the 2027 Seltos aims to stay competitive in an increasingly crowded segment of small SUVs.
