Introduction of the 2027 Kia Seltos

The new Seltos features a redesigned body that enhances its size slightly, particularly in the wheelbase, yet maintains its subcompact classification at 174.4 inches long. The design incorporates elements that evoke the larger Telluride, making it visually impactful for its segment.
Powertrain Options
Kia offers multiple powertrain choices for the 2027 Seltos. The standard engine is a 2.0L four-cylinder producing 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque. This engine provides choices between front-wheel drive, delivering 30 mpg combined, and all-wheel drive with 28 mpg combined.
Upcoming Hybrid Model
An anticipated variant of the Seltos is the 1.6L hybrid, which will be available in Q4 of 2023. Details about the hybrid's performance and efficiency rely on its ongoing EPA certification, which means specifications remain unconfirmed until that is complete.
