The 2025 Kia Seltos is a sporty compact SUV perfect for commuters and explorers. Your choice of all-wheel or front-wheel drive and two powertrain options makes it easy to match its capability to your needs.
2025 Kia Seltos Performance
The 2025 Seltos is a compact SUV with a huge personality. It comes in standard all-wheel drive and is powered by a 2.0L inline-4 engine that provides 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The engine pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission that offers smooth shifting in various driving conditions, while three drive modes make it easy to adjust performance to your needs.
Fuel Economy and Driving Range
Whether you need a daily driver or an adventure companion, the Seltos can help you save at the pump. The base powertrain provides EPA estimates of 27 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on highways, while front-wheel drive is available on select trims, optimizing this SUV for longer road trips with up to 34 MPG on highways. In the FWD configuration, you can expect a total driving range of up to 409 miles, or around 383 miles with the standard AWD.
Available Turbocharged Powertrain
Thrill-seekers and off-roading enthusiasts can find their match in one of the upper trim levels. The X-Line and SX models come exclusively in all-wheel drive and have a 1.6L turbocharged engine under the hood that produces 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Torque vectoring with a center-locking differential and independent front and rear suspensions improves handling and provides smooth rides on all terrains.
Interior Space and Comfort
The interior is comfortable and practical. It has seats for five riders with 41.4 inches of legroom at the front and 38 inches in the second row, which is plenty of room for adults. Behind the rear seats, a cargo capacity of 26.6 cubic feet provides ample room for daily items, groceries, or luggage. A dual-level cargo floor is standard across the lineup and a cargo cover is available, so you can easily hide your belongings from prying eyes.
Cutting-Edge Tech
Kia’s advanced infotainment system is standard across the lineup and comes with an eight-inch center touchscreen, wireless smartphone integration, and multi-device Bluetooth connectivity. All trim levels except for the base Seltos LX have a larger center display with built-in navigation and also include wired smartphone integration for added convenience in areas with poor cellular reception. These trims are also compatible with the Kia Connect mobile app.
Advanced Safety Features
Each trim level of the 2025 Seltos comes standard with at least nine driver assistance technologies, including forward collision-avoidance assistance with pedestrian, cyclist, and car detection. A driver attention warning and a rear occupant alert can help you stay focused on the road and make sure nobody is left behind when leaving the vehicle.
