Style meets practicality in the 2025 Kia Seltos. This compact SUV stands out from the bunch with its bold style, comfy and upscale cabin, huge cargo area, and impressive tech. Here’s an up-close look at the new Kia Seltos.
Bold and Compact: The 2025 Kia Seltos
Performance and Fuel Economy
The Kia Seltos is powered by a 2.0L four-cylinder engine pushing out 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the wheels through a CVT, and all-wheel drive comes standard to enhance stability and traction in difficult road conditions. The AWD Seltos returns an average of 29 miles per gallon (27 city/31 highway). Front-wheel drive is available on the S and EX trims, with 31 MPG combined (28 city/31 highway).
The available 1.6L turbo-four engine on the X-Line and SX trims pumps out 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a smooth 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. This powertrain gets a decent 25 MPG combined (24 city/27 highway), but it makes up for the slightly lower fuel efficiency with extra power and thrill on the open road.
Interior Space and Cargo Solutions
Inside, the Seltos offers comfortable seats and two spacious rows with plenty of legroom and headroom. It also has one of the most spacious trunks in its class, with 26.6 cubic feet of cargo volume. Stowing the 60/40 split-folding rear seats gives you 62.8 cubic feet of space to work with. The optional smart power liftgate allows hands-free access to the trunk, while the available roof rails provide exterior storage space for bulky gear.
Infotainment and Technology
The base LX comes with an 8-inch touchscreen display, while all the other trims upgrade to a larger 10.25-inch unit with navigation. Both displays offer wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, allowing you to stream music, get directions, send texts, and stay connected. A six-speaker sound system and three USB ports also come standard. There are options like wireless charging, an 8-speaker stereo, and a 10.25-inch instrument panel.
Comfort Features
Cloth seats come standard, along with basic comforts, such as air conditioning, rear air vents, and a soundproof windshield. Stepping up to higher trims will get you heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic climate control, and a 10-way power driver’s seat with two lumbar controls.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Every Seltos comes standard with an automatic emergency braking system to help prevent collisions. You’ll also find driver-assist features such as lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-following assist. Smart cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear-cross traffic braking, and parking sensors are all available.
