Key Features of the 2026 Kia Seltos

Dual Panoramic Display w/ Navigation

The available Dual Panoramic Display w/ Navigation presents key info across a wide, modern interface, pairing a crisp driver display with a responsive central touchscreen for infotainment and vehicle settings. Map views, media, and Kia Connect services are organized for quick access, while Wireless Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ help reduce cable clutter. The design complements the Seltos cabin layout, keeping sightlines clean and controls within easy reach. For frequent commuters and road trippers, the system’s intuitive layout, available voice control, and fast processor make everyday use seamless, from planning routes to managing playlists.

All-Wheel Drive System w/ Lock Mode

Engineered for changing conditions, the available torque-vectoring All-Wheel Drive System w/ Lock Mode can distribute power 50-50 front to rear at the push of a button. In everyday driving, the system responds dynamically to maximize traction and stability, enhancing confidence on wet, snowy, or uneven surfaces. Lock Mode is especially helpful when you want predictable grip pulling away from a stop on slick roads or heading down a gravel drive. Paired with a composed chassis and available LED Headlights that illuminate your path, the Seltos delivers reassuring control across your routine and your adventures.

1.6L Turbocharged Engine w/ 190 hp & 195 lb.-ft. of torque

For drivers who want an extra punch, the available 1.6L turbo pairs strong low-end torque with an 8-speed automatic for smooth, confident acceleration. Passing and merging feel effortless, and the powertrain remains refined in stop-and-go traffic. If you prefer a calmer approach, the 2.0L 4-cylinder offers efficient daily performance with simplified maintenance. Either way, steering feel and suspension tuning are designed to make the Seltos easy to place in city traffic yet composed on the highway, so you can settle in and enjoy the drive.

Kia Drive Wise Driver Assistance

The Seltos brings a robust suite of driver assistance technologies to support awareness and reduce driving stress. Auto Emergency Braking Technology w/ standard Pedestrian and Cyclist Detection can help apply the brakes in certain situations, while Blind-Spot Collision Warning and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist add confidence when changing lanes or backing out of a crowded parking spot. On longer trips, available Navigation-Based Smart Cruise Control w/ Stop & Go and Highway Driving Assist help maintain following distance and can adapt to changing speed limits and road curvature in certain circumstances. Together, these systems exemplify a modern, smarter way to drive.

Smart Power Liftgate and Versatile Cargo Space

With up to 62.8 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the first row, the Seltos is built to carry what your day demands without shortchanging passenger comfort. The available Smart Power Liftgate opens and closes automatically with one touch or when it senses your key fob, making it easy to load groceries, strollers, or weekend gear when your hands are full. Inside, 60/40 split-folding and reclining rear seats and a low load floor make it simple to reconfigure for bikes, luggage, or a big shopping haul. Available amenities like heated and ventilated front seats, SynTex seat trim, and a power driver’s seat with power lumbar round out a cabin that is ready for every season.
