Engine and Transmission
The 2026 Kia Seltos offers two engine choices: a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque, and a turbocharged 1.6-liter delivering 195 hp and matching torque. The base engine uses a CVT, while the turbo pairs with an eight-speed automatic transmission. All-wheel drive is standard on most trims. Ride quality is firm yet composed, and handling feels agile for its class. The turbo model accelerates to 60 mph in 6.9 seconds, making it both practical and surprisingly lively. Towing capacity remains modest, suited for light-duty tasks.
Fuel Economy
With front-wheel drive and the 2.0-liter engine, the 2026 Seltos earns 28 mpg city, 34 highway, and 31 combined. All-wheel drive drops it to 27/31/29 mpg, while the turbo AWD version returns 24 mpg in the city, and 27 mpg on the highway.
Interior and Tech
The 2026 Kia Seltos features a spacious, upscale cabin with refined materials and ambient lighting that syncs to music on SX trims. Its optional dual-display setup includes a digital gauge cluster and infotainment touchscreen housed under a sleek glass panel spanning most of the dash; lower trims get a smaller screen with analog gauges. All models support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, while SiriusXM, a Wi-Fi hotspot, and a premium speaker system enhance connectivity and entertainment. Cargo space is generous, fitting up to 20 carry-ons with seats folded.
