Rugged, refined and right-sized, the all-new Seltos energizes the Entry SUV segment with a personality all its own.

Seltos is a marriage of bold design and delicate details, and stands apart from rivals with its strong, upright stance. The tall front end and 7.2-inch ground clearance translate to a tough attitude and an adventurous spirit. Its assertive presence is spearheaded by Kia’s signature tiger nose grille that includes unexpected diamond-like detail.
Complementing Kia’s robust SUV lineup, and following on the heels of the Telluride, the Seltos slots between the popular Soul and Sportage models, providing a comfortable and tech-savvy cabin, a choice of two well-tested engines include a spirited 175-horsepower 1.6-litre turbo, and an available all-wheel drive system1 with torque vectoring control and a lock mode to handle more severe road conditions.

The Seltos delivers a tremendous amount of roominess and comfort. Even back seat passengers will get to stretch out thanks to the rear reclining feature.

Whichever way you fold it, split it or lift it, the Seltos is a leader in its class when it comes to space and versatility.
