2026 KIA Seltos EX

The 2026 Seltos is a subcompact SUV that slots below the Sportage, competing with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mazda CX-30. The Seltos drives with a composed, planted feel, and the turbo engine makes highway merging effortless. The cabin is roomy for the class, with generous rear legroom and a cargo area that expands with the split-folding rear seats. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus Kia's Drive Wise safety suite. Stepping up to the EX from the S adds automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and front fog lights, along with the option of all-wheel drive. The 2.0L MPI 4-Cylinder Engine produces 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, routed through an automatic transmission to the front-wheel drive, and returns 31 mpg combined. The EX can be equipped with all-wheel drive, which adds a center-locking differential for light off-road use.
