2027 Kia Seltos
Kia completely redesigned the Seltos for 2027: a boxier look, more advanced tech, all-new sheetmetal and a rugged X-Line trim.

Record summary
What to know first
MY2027 is an all-new, fully redesigned Seltos generation (1.8 in. longer, 1.1 in. wider, 2.4 in. longer wheelbase), styled to echo the redesigned 2027 Telluride. Base engine is now 147 hp (2.0L); the turbo 1.6L drops slightly to 190 hp with a new 8-speed automatic (replacing the prior dual-clutch); a first-time Seltos Hybrid pairs a 1.6L GDI engine with a 32-kW electric motor for 141 hp/195 lb-ft via a 6-speed DCT.
Model-year note
The 2027 Seltos is a full generation redesign, not a running change: it is longer, wider and rides a longer wheelbase, so prior-generation dimensions, transmission and torque-vectoring AWD hardware no longer apply. X-Line existed on earlier Seltos generations, so press coverage calling it the first-ever most likely means new to this redesign. A prior-generation SX is not confirmed to carry over by name; the new Hybrid sits at the top of the range. Equipment listed for individual trims on this page is carried from the outgoing generation and has not yet been re-checked against the redesigned model.
