Think About How You Will Actually Use Your Seltos
Passenger Needs
If most trips involve one to four people, the Seltos may provide the space you need without moving into a larger SUV. If you regularly carry more passengers, compare a larger Kia.
Cargo Needs
The 2027 Seltos provides 27.8 cu. ft. of cargo space behind the second row and up to 64.2 cu. ft. behind the first row.
Front-Wheel Drive or AWD?
Available all-wheel drive may matter to shoppers who prioritize additional traction capability. Compare configurations based on how and where you drive.
Standard or Turbo Power?
Most 2027 Seltos trims use a 147-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. The X-Line SX uses a 190-horsepower 1.6-liter turbocharged engine for shoppers who want stronger performance.
Five 2027 Seltos Trims Give You Several Ways to Shop
The 2027 Kia Seltos lineup includes LX, S, X-Line S, EX and X-Line SX. Feature availability, drivetrain and equipment vary by trim, so it is better to start with the features and capability you actually want than to choose by trim name alone.
LX and S
Start here if your priorities are the Seltos size, everyday practicality, core technology and value. Both use the standard 147-horsepower 2.0-liter engine.
X-Line S and EX
Compare these trims when appearance, comfort, available AWD, convenience equipment and additional features become more important.
X-Line SX
This is the performance-focused Seltos choice with the 190-horsepower turbocharged engine, AWD and additional technology and convenience equipment.
