Features

To help with your busy schedule, the 2024 Seltos comes with a ton of convenient features and comfortable materials to make every drive enjoyable. The available Smart Power Liftgate can be set to automatically open when your key fob is detected near the vehicle. A Smart Key with push-button start and remote start is standard on the Seltos S trim. But the Seltos SX offers the available Digital Key 2 Touch that lets you use your compatible device to lock, unlock, and drive.

When it comes to comfort, the new Seltos offers woven cloth, a combination of cloth and SynTex synthetic leather, or full SynTex seats. You’ll find available heated and ventilated front seats on certain trims as well. Meanwhile, the Seltos EX and Seltos SX come with a 10-way power driver’s seat with two-way power lumbar support for added luxury.

Technology

For 2024, the Kia Seltos adds more driver-focused technology in the cabin. This includes three standard USB ports (including a USB-C port) as well as available options throughout the lineup. The standard 8-inch touch-screen display works seamlessly with Apple CarPlay®, Android Auto™, Bluetooth®, and the six-speaker audio system.

When you go up just one trim to the Seltos S, you’ll get a larger 10.25-inch touch-screen display with SiriusXM® satellite radio, navigation, and Kia Connect — which gives you remote access to the Seltos to do things like lock or unlock doors and start the engine. The Seltos S trim also gets a large 10.25-inch instrument display behind the steering wheel that showcases brilliant LCD graphics.

Additional available infotainment technologies include a wireless phone charger and an eight-speaker Bose® premium audio system with a Sound Connected Mood Lamp.

Safety

To give you some added confidence in the new Seltos, Kia has equipped the small SUV with many intelligent safety systems. Standard features include classic driver-assist technologies like Lane Departure Warning, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, Rear Occupant Alert, and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection.

Moving up to the Seltos S adds Blind-Spot Collision Warning, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision Avoidance Assist, and Safe Exit Warning. The top Seltos SX trim, however, has the most comprehensive safety suite with additional features like Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, Highway Driving Assist, Intelligent Speed Limit Assist, and added Junction Turning Detection for the Forward Collision-Avoidance system.

Powertrain and Efficiency

The Kia Seltos offers two powertrain options. The peppy 2.0-liter engine comes paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission for a smooth, fuel-saving ride. On the highway, it nets an EPA-estimated 31 mpg.¹ This efficient engine comes standard on the LX, S, and EX trims. 

If you’re looking for an even more spirited ride, check out the available turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder dynamo that delivers 175 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, while earning up to 30 mpg on the highway.¹ The Nightfall Edition and SX trim levels both come equipped with this dynamic engine. No matter which trim level you choose, you can enhance your driving experience with available Dynamax™ Full-time All-Wheel Drive.

Exterior styling

With its sporty good looks and stylish sculpting, the Kia Seltos is perfect for drivers who want an eye-catching ride that doesn’t compromise on practicality. The Seltos offers a palette of eight solid colors and four two-tone roof combinations. Every model also comes equipped with a new acoustic glass windshield, designed to block out road noise. And if you’re looking for a bespoke ride, consider the Nightfall Edition model — it comes with a trim-exclusive grille, roof rack rails, unique door garnish, and bold 18-inch alloy wheels.

Interior Comforts and Conveniences

When it comes to providing practical amenities and everyday conveniences, the Kia Seltos delivers what your busy lifestyle demands. Inside the cabin, the Seltos offers more passenger volume than most other subcompact SUVs on the market, so even when you’ve got five passengers along for the ride, you’ll enjoy a comfortable ride. This versatile SUV even boasts 62.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the front-row seats. 

Enjoy a more comfortable ride with available comforts like rear-seat air conditioning, heated front seats, and leather-trimmed accents. And concealing your valuables is a snap thanks to this SUV’s two-level cargo bay floor and rear seatback pockets.

Safety on the Go

The Kia Drive Wise bundle comes standard on every Seltos. It includes essentials like Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Departure Warning, and the Rear-View Monitor to help you keep an eye on your surroundings. The Seltos even includes Rear Occupant Alert to protect young children and pets from being forgotten in the back seat. Enjoy more peace of mind when you upgrade for additional safety features like Safe Exit Warning, Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance, and Highway Driving Assist.
