2026 Blue Kia Seltos
The Kia Seltos comes with technology that enhances every summer expedition. The cabin design focuses on keeping adventurers informed, connected, and on the right path to discovery.
The available 10.25-inch TFT LCD supervision cluster provides vital driving information at a glance, allowing you to monitor vehicle status while keeping your eyes on that winding mountain road or coastal highway.
For enhanced navigation during your summer explorations, the available heads-up display (HUD) projects key driving information onto a secondary screen above the steering wheel, helping you stay focused on the scenic route ahead rather than looking down at instruments.
Your adventure planning and navigation are seamlessly handled by the available 10.25-inch multimedia interface with integrated touchscreen navigation. This system makes it easy to find hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path destinations that make summer adventures memorable.
The innovative Digital Key 2 Touch feature transforms your smartphone into your car key—perfect for active adventurers who might be paddleboarding, hiking, or swimming and don’t want to worry about where to store a physical key. It also allows you to share a secure digital key with fellow adventurers who might take the wheel while you capture photos of spectacular scenery.
When your summer soundtrack needs to match the epic landscape around you, the available Bose premium audio system delivers crystal clear sound that enhances every road trip playlist and creates the perfect atmosphere for your journey.
Step inside the Kia Seltos and discover an interior designed to keep you comfortable during long days of exploration. Standard heated front seats across all trim levels might seem unnecessary for summer adventures, but they’re perfect for those early morning starts to catch a sunrise or after an unexpected summer rain shower has left you chilled.
Available automatic climate control maintains the perfect temperature regardless of the conditions outside, from scorching summer heat to cool mountain air at higher elevations. The premium trims feature durable Sofino leather seating that easily wipes clean after a day at the beach or on dusty trails.
Higher trim levels include air-cooled front seats that adventure seekers will appreciate during hot summer road trips. After a long day of hiking or water sports, the cooled seats provide welcome relief as you head back to your campsite or accommodation. The X-Line and SX trims choose between practical Sofino Black leather or the distinctive Sofino Gentle Brown leather that disguises the inevitable dust and dirt that come with outdoor adventures.
Additional exploration-friendly interior features include a sliding centre armrest for comfort on long drives, rear centre armrest with cupholders for your travel companions’ refreshments, and adjustable rear seat headrests that ensure everyone stays comfortable during the journey to your next adventure spot.
Summer adventures often take you to remote locations, and the Kia Seltos has advanced safety features that provide confidence whether you’re on highways or backroads.
The standard forward collision avoidance assist can detect potential front collisions and automatically apply brakes if necessary—invaluable when wildlife suddenly appears on rural roads during your summer explorations.
Blind-spot collision-avoidance assist uses radar technology to detect vehicles that might be hidden while you’re taking in the scenic views, applying braking power when necessary to avoid potential collisions.
Lane follow assist helps keep your vehicle centred in the lane, reducing the stress of long drives to distant adventure destinations and enhancing overall safety for everyone on board.
The available rear cross-traffic avoidance-assist is particularly valuable when backing out of crowded trailhead parking lots or campgrounds, detecting approaching vehicles and helping prevent collisions.
Additional adventure-focused safety features include downhill brake control (DBC) for navigating steep descents on your explorations, and hill-assist control (HAC) that prevents rollback when starting on an incline—perfect for mountainous terrain.
Summer adventures require gear, and the Seltos delivers with flexible space that adapts to your expedition needs. With rear seats folded, the Seltos provides up to 1,778 litres (62.8 cubic feet) of cargo space—perfect for camping equipment, paddleboards, or mountain bikes. Even with the rear seats occupied by fellow adventurers, you still enjoy 752 litres (26.5 cubic feet) of cargo space for day packs, coolers, and other essential gear.
The available power liftgate opens automatically when you stand near the vehicle with your Smart Key for three seconds—a feature you’ll appreciate when approaching the vehicle with arms full of adventure gear or freshly caught fish. The dual-level cargo floor adapts to different adventure needs, providing a hidden space for valuables when you’re parked at trailheads or creating a flat loading surface for bulky gear.
Integrated roof rails make it easy to add crossbars for carrying kayaks, canoes, bikes, or a roof box for additional storage on extended summer road trips. This flexibility ensures you never have to leave essential gear behind when heading out for your next great adventure.
The Kia Seltos offers two engine options that balance performance with the efficiency needed for extended summer exploration. The LX and EX trims feature a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque—reliable power for most adventure destinations and scenic routes.
For those seeking more challenging terrain or faster highway journeys to distant destinations, the SX and X-Line trims come with a 1.6L turbocharged engine generating 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for responsive acceleration when passing on rural two-lane highways.
Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options are available, with the latter providing confidence on gravel roads, beach access points, and light off-road trails that lead to the best summer adventures. The all-wheel drive system includes a locking differential for enhanced traction in challenging conditions, perfect for accessing remote camping spots or secluded beaches.
Fuel economy remains adventure-friendly across all models, minimizing stops on those long summer road trips. Front-wheel drive versions achieve 8.3 L/100 km city, 6.8 L/100 km highway, and 7.6 L/100 km combined. All-wheel drive models with the 2.0L engine deliver 8.8 L/100 km city, 7.5 L/100 km highway, and 8.2 L/100 km combined. Even the more powerful turbocharged models maintain reasonable efficiency at 9.7 L/100 km city, 8.6 L/100 km highway, and 9.2 L/100 km combined.
All Seltos models run on regular unleaded fuel available at even the most remote service stations, and the 50-litre fuel tank provides excellent range between fill-ups on your summer expeditions.
The Kia Seltos presents a capable exterior that looks at home whether parked at a scenic overlook or navigating city streets on the way to your next adventure. Even the base LX trim looks ready for action with 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, heated sideview mirrors for early morning departures, and roof rails for additional carrying capacity.
Moving up to the EX AWD adds eye-catching LED lighting elements perfect for illuminating late returns from sunset hikes, a power sunroof that brings the outdoors in when the weather is perfect, and stylish chrome accents. The EX Premium enhances the look with machine-finished 17-inch alloy wheels that stand up to varied terrain.
For adventurers who want more capability and style, the SX trim offers larger 18-inch alloy wheels for better ground clearance and rain-sensing wipers that automatically activate during summer thunderstorms, allowing you to keep your focus on challenging roads.
The X-Line trim is designed specifically for the adventure-minded, featuring distinctive glossy black wheels, gun metal colored front and rear skid plates for added protection on rough terrain, black bar-style roof rails that accommodate a variety of carriers, and rugged lower body black garnishes that resist scratches from brush and gravel.
With eight available colours, including Snow White Pearl, Steel Grey, Gravity Grey, Fusion Black, Neptune Blue, Lunar Orange, Dark Ocean Blue, and Pluton Blue, there’s a Seltos to match the personality of every outdoor enthusiast.
The Kia Seltos offers a range of trim levels to meet different adventure styles and requirements:
The Kia Seltos comes with Kia’s comprehensive warranty program that gives adventurers confidence to explore further. This includes a 5-year/100,000 km worry-free comprehensive warranty, a 5-year/100,000 km limited powertrain warranty, and 5-year/unlimited km 24-hour roadside assistance—invaluable coverage when your adventures take you far from home.
The Kia Seltos proves that adventure-ready doesn’t require a massive SUV or compromised fuel economy. With its blend of versatile space, capable performance, comprehensive safety features, and thoughtful technology, the Seltos maximizes your summer adventures while providing the reliability and efficiency that make spontaneous exploration possible.
