Kia's new Seltos is winning over families across America. It's known for being wise beyond its years, delivering smart tech and driver-assistance features that make every day more enjoyable and safer. The Seltos starts with an LX base model that rivals any other in its class. For those who want to splurge a bit but still keep their Seltos a value, the S has a lot to offer, too.
Performance
A 2026 Seltos LX comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine rated at 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. You'll also love the 17-inch alloy wheels with a dark gray finish, sturdier and larger than your average base model wheels, so that your Seltos takes on a bold stance. S trims add roof rails for more outdoor versatility and driver-assistance features like Blind-Spot detection technology. Both trims are available with all-wheel drive.
Appearance
Kia's Seltos is available in colors like Clear White with a fusion black roof, Mars Orange, and Neptune Blue. Kia loves to give families the option for a sportier, flashier family SUV. The LX differs only slightly from the S, but even minor differences can make a big difference to choosier families. For example, the LX comes with LED headlamps and rear privacy glass, but only the S offers LED taillights and roof rails.
Features
Seltos features are something our sales team shares freely and happily with interested shoppers. We want you to go home in the right trim for you, and that means knowing even the subtle differences between trims. The LX and S are the first two trims in the lineup, so they share many similar features, but the interior and driver-assistance features vary enough to matter. LX trims start out with 60/40 split-folding rear reclining seats, a very comfortable seating design for any base model. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto get drivers set up with smartphone integration.
S trims add even more: SynTex & Cloth seat trim, remote push-button start, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Both trims get automatic emergency braking with car, cyclist, and pedestrian detection, while the S adds blind-spot detection technology. You can compare the LX and S during a test drive.
