Top Features of The New 2026 Kia Seltos

So Many Performance Features And Choices
The first choice for Cape Girardeau buyers of a 2026 Seltos is the engine. Kia offers two engines: a 2.0-liter with 146 horsepower and a turbocharged 1.6-liter with 190 horsepower. The 2.0-liter is paired with a continuously variable automatic transmission, while the turbo choice is matched with an eight-speed automatic. All-wheel drive is standard on higher trim levels, while front-wheel drive is standard on base trims.
- Buyers can expect 27mpg in the city and 31 on the highway with the base engine
- The turbo engine will reach 24 mpg in the city and 27 on the highway
- With a towing package, the Seltos has a max towing capacity of over 2,400 pounds

A Spacious And Inviting Interior
The interior of the Seltos is comfortable and versatile, with the cargo capacity ranging from over 26 cubic feet with all seats occupied to over 62 cubic max cargo space. Passengers also appreciate features such as privacy glass, a sound-absorbing windshield, and optional heated and cooled seating.
- The optional driver’s seat upgrade features 10-way power adjustment with 2-way power lumbar support
- All models include rear seat AC vents
- Automatic climate control with a defog system is an option

All The Latest Connectivity And Safety Tech
The Seltos offers nine standard driver-assistance features, including automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control. The safety features have earned it a five-star rating from the NHTSA. The infotainment tech is housed on the large glass panel screen spanning two-thirds of the dash and featuring:
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- A digital gauge display
- Optional SiriusXM and onboard Wi-Fi
What’s New For The 2026 Model Year Seltos?
As always, Kia is focused on giving customers more for their money. The 2026 Seltos is no exception, with this model being lengthened to increase legroom and a wider stance for added responsiveness and control. Inside, the dash was streamlined with two 12-plus-inch touchscreens that created a panoramic effect, while the gear shifter was placed on the column to increase console space. Safety was enhanced with Highway Driving Assist 2 and AWD drive modes for snow, mud, and sand.
