Meet the 2026 Seltos
Kia America just pulled the cover off the new 2026 Seltos lineup. This stylish compact SUV stays a favorite for drivers who crave bold design, cutting-edge tech, and real-world practicality. With both front-wheel and all-wheel drive options now offered on nearly every trim, the Seltos can handle city streets, weekend getaways, and rougher roads with ease.
Affordable Choices
The 2026 Seltos starts at just $23,690 for the LX FWD, making it one of the best-value small SUVs on the market today. Even the top-tier SX AWD, loaded with premium features and the punchier turbo engine, comes in at $31,390. Kia keeps things flexible so buyers don’t have to compromise between price and perks. For many, that balance is exactly what makes the Seltos so appealing.
Power Meets Efficiency
Drivers can choose between two solid engines. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder pushes out 147 horsepower—perfect for daily commutes and weekend errands. Craving more excitement? Step up to the SX AWD trim, which offers a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine pumping out 190 horsepower. This option brings extra power without sacrificing the everyday comfort the Seltos is known for.
Tech That Elevates
Step inside and you’ll find a cabin packed with smart upgrades. Even the base LX comes with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Higher trims feature dual 10.25-inch panoramic screens, a crisp Bose® audio system, a wireless charging pad, and a convenient smart power liftgate. The Seltos is designed to keep you connected, no matter where you drive.
Safety First
Every 2026 Seltos includes vital driver assistance tech. Standard gear includes Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, and more. Want extra confidence on the highway? Higher trims come with Smart Cruise Control, Highway Driving Assist, and helpful parking sensors. Safety and convenience go hand in hand here.
A Fresh Look
Finally, new gloss black 17-inch wheels in the EX Sunroof Package add a stylish touch. The SX trim shines with LED signature lighting and bold 18-inch alloys. Small details make a big difference.
The Bottom Line
Affordable, modern, and packed with features, the 2026 Kia Seltos is ready for the daily grind or your next adventure.
