Larger, More Spacious 2027 Kia Seltos Debuts With New Hybrid Variant

The subcompact SUV gains a new X-Line trim, dual 12.3-inch displays and a hybrid powertrain that Kia says will arrive later this year.

  • Kia debuted the redesigned 2027 Seltos at the New York Auto Show, introducing a second generation of the subcompact SUV with updated styling and enhanced technology.
  • With a 2.4-inch-longer wheelbase, the new Seltos features increased cargo capacity, aiming to provide more interior space while maintaining its subcompact footprint for the competitive crossover segment.
  • Inside, the driver faces dual 12.3-inch displays, while the lineup offers a 2.0-liter engine, a 1.6-liter turbo, and, for the first time, a hybrid powertrain.
  • Kia expects the redesigned model to start at around $27,000 when non-hybrid versions arrive in the second quarter of 2026, with the hybrid variant following in the fourth quarter.
  • The Seltos Hybrid will debut Kia's new electronic all-wheel-drive system, dubbed e-AWD, arriving later this year and marking the brand's first hybrid SUV with this technology.
