2025 Kia Seltos

The 2025 Seltos is available in five trims: the LX, the S, the EX, the X-Line, and the SX. The base LX establishes a solid foundation with projector beam headlights, complemented by Kia's signature Tiger Nose grille design. The S trim adds visual appeal with updated LED taillights and daytime running lights. The EX offers additional convenience with an available power liftgate. The X-Line demonstrates its adventurous spirit through unique sporty styling elements such as gloss black 18-inch alloy wheels and gunmetal front grille. At the top of the range, the SX elevates the exterior with premium LED lighting, distinctive 18-inch machined and gloss black wheels, and an available two-tone roof.

Thoughtful engine configurations ensure versatility across all models. The LX, S, and EX trims utilize a capable 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 146 horsepower at 6,200 rpm and 132 pound-feet of torque at 4,500 rpm. This engine pairs with Kia's Intelligent Variable Transmission for smooth power delivery. The X-Line and SX trims increase performance with a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine producing 195 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 195 pound-feet of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm. This powerful engine works in concert with an eight-speed automatic transmission for responsive acceleration.

Engineering refinements ensure a smooth and composed ride across the entire lineup. The available all-wheel-drive system provides confident traction across various driving conditions, while the drive mode select system offers Normal, Sport, and Eco modes to tailor your driving experience. The X-Line's torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system actively manages power distribution for optimal grip and stability. For drivers needing extra utility, the Seltos maintains a towing capacity of up to 2,000 pounds when properly equipped.

Smart organization makes the most of available space, with 26.6 cubic feet of cargo room behind the rear seats, expanding to 62.8 cubic feet with the seats folded. Dual 10.25-inch digital display comes standard on all but the LX and S trims, providing seamless access to vehicle information and entertainment options. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility keep drivers connected, while the available Bose premium audio system in the SX trim delivers superior sound quality. The EX, X-Line, and SX trims add comfort with heated front seats, but only the SX has available ventilated front seats.

Various safety systems contribute to driver security, starting with forward collision-avoidance assist across all trim levels. The comprehensive safety suite includes blind-spot collision warning and lane-keeping assist to help prevent accidents. Smart cruise control with stop-and-go functionality makes highway driving more relaxing, while rear cross-traffic collision avoidance assist provides additional confidence when reversing. The SX trim further enhances safety with highway driving assist, working with other active safety features to create a protective barrier around vehicle occupants.
