2027 Kia Seltos

2027 Kia Seltos

The 2027 Kia Seltos delivers an appealing blend of upright crossover proportions, increased cabin dimensions, versatile performance options, and expansive safety technologies. Built to handle both urban stop-and-go driving and long highway stretches across the Southwest, this subcompact multi-purpose vehicle offers a highly capable driving experience for navigating Las Vegas, Nevada, and the surrounding desert terrain.

Exterior Styling

The exterior highlights a bold, SUV-inspired stance featuring a wide front grille and striking LED daytime running lights with signature vertical accents. Its boxier profile incorporates sharp body lines, integrated roof rails, and standard power-adjustable side mirrors. Depending on the trim, the vehicle rides on 16-inch, 17-inch, or 18-inch alloy wheels. Available design features include auto-extending flush door handles, a panoramic sunroof, a smart power liftgate, and two-tone roof color combinations. For a more rugged aesthetic, the available X-Line package adds gloss-black trim accents, dark alloy wheels, and a raised ground clearance of up to 8.1 inches to easily clear unpaved desert trails.

Interior Comfort and Technology

Inside, the expanded cabin layout provides extra legroom, refined seating, and modern digital controls for up to five occupants:

• Seating and Cargo: Seating options feature standard cloth or available SynTex synthetic leather upholstery with power adjustment, heating, and ventilation for front occupants. The second row offers enhanced legroom, while the rear cargo area provides up to 27.8 cubic feet of space behind the second row and expands to 64.2 cubic feet when the rear seats are folded flat.
• Cabin Climate: Standard automatic climate control or available dual-zone automatic climate control with a dedicated 5-inch display helps regulate cabin temperatures during hot Nevada summers.
• Connectivity: Highlighting the dashboard is an available dual 12.3-inch panoramic display layout combining the gauge cluster and touchscreen multimedia system under a continuous glass panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay, wireless Android Auto, multiple USB-C ports, a wireless phone charger, and an available Bose premium audio system come fully integrated.

Performance and Engineering

The standard model features a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine generating 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission for smooth city cruising. For stronger acceleration when merging onto Interstate 15 or climbing mountain passes, an available 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque through an eight-speed automatic transmission. Drivers can choose standard front-wheel drive or an available multi-mode all-wheel-drive system with a locking center differential for enhanced stability on loose sand, gravel, or wet road surfaces.
