The Kia Seltos has quickly become a cornerstone of the Kia lineup, and here for the 2027 model debuts its second generation, improving on what made this subcompact SUV so unique, with its sleek style and size, but actually making it a bit longer for some added interior space. It’ll first touch down with a gas engine, but a hybrid version is soon to follow, for those who are looking to make their drive even more economical. Read on with our Kia Fredericton team as we go over all of the top highlights of the 2027 Kia Seltos, including a new design, updated tech features and so much more.

Exterior
Brand New Styling on the 2027 Kia Seltos
The brand new styling on the 2027 Seltos gives it a more cohesive look with some of the EV models in the Kia lineup, although the 2027 Seltos is not an EV itself, thanks to a floating roofline style, alongside seamless headlights that fit into the grille, leading toward a clean and future-forward look.
Rear Exterior & New Wheel Designs
The rear of the Seltos continues its sleek design with taillights that span the full width of the vehicle and frame the low-profile hands-free tailgate. Wheels will go from 16 inches to 19 inches, along with updated colours to match your preferences.
Interior
More Passenger & Cargo Space
Exact specifics aren’t available at this moment, but you can be sure that the 2027 Kia Seltos will offer more passenger and cargo space than the previous model, thanks to the lengthened body. The seats provide max comfort with quick and easy recline functions, alongside a Relaxation mode for ultimate comfort when parked.
Redesigned Dashboard
Some of the biggest improvements in the Seltos come in the form of the dashboard and its surroundings. The dashboard has been redesigned with the 30-inch display screen adn the 12.3-inch instrument cluster together in a panoramic display. Right in front of all that is the updated steering wheel design for smooth handling and control.
Performance
Engine Power
You can expect two different engine options in the 2027 Seltos, as previously, the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine, and the Turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine. Let’s break these down further:
- 2.0L 4-cylinder engine: 147 horsepower, 132 lb-ft of torque, with a CVT
- Turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder engine: 195 horsepower, 195 lb-ft of torque, with an 8-speed automatic transmission
A Hybrid Seltos is Arriving Soon
Total information isn’t available just yet, as we know the 2027 Seltos will arrive in summer 2026, with a hybrid version to follow. The 2027 Kia Seltos hybrid will join the ranks of Kia’s extensive hybrid lineup, currently including the Sportage, Niro, Carnival and Sorento.
Technology & Safety
Hybrid Regeneration Braking System
The hybrid Seltos will have a regenerative braking system, allowing you to get the most out of your drive, and put it back into the vehicle, which takes energy from decelerations and uses it to recharge the battery.
Driver Assist Features
You can use many Driver Assist features like a surround-view monitor to get a look around your vehicle in a 360-degree view, parking assist to fit into even the tightest of city spots, as well as highway driving assist to make those long drives as smooth as possible.
