2025 Kia Seltos

The 2025 Kia Seltos is available in five trims: the LX, S, EX, X-Line, and SX. All models feature standard 17-inch alloy wheels, while upper trims offer optional 18-inch machine-finished wheels. LED daytime running lights are standard, with full LED lighting on premium models. The X-Line features rugged bumpers, side sills, and unique wheels. At 172.6 inches long, 70.9 inches wide, 63.4 inches tall, with 7.3 inches of ground clearance, it's still city-friendly. Two-tone paint is available on the S trim and higher, with metallic colors that emphasize its athletic shape.

The 2025 Seltos offers two engine options. The LX, S, and EX have a 2.0-liter four-cylinder paired with an intelligent variable transmission that delivers 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. The X-Line and SX models feature a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission that produces 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque.

The turbocharged SX with all-wheel drive accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.9 seconds, completing a quarter mile in 15.4 seconds at 92 mph. This is quick for its class, adding fun to daily drives without the cost of a pricier segment, while a tight 34.8-foot turning circle simplifies city parking. The LX, X-Line, and SX come with standard all-wheel drive to enhance traction on slippery roads and light trails, while these features are optional in the S and EX. The 2025 Kia Seltos can tow up to 2,000 pounds, which is adequate for weekend adventures.

The Seltos offers 40 inches of headroom and 41.4 inches of legroom in the front, which is slightly lower in the rear at 38.4 and 38 inches, respectively. This compact SUV provides 26.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which expands to 62.8 cubic feet with the seats folded.

The LX has an 8-inch touchscreen, while higher trims feature a larger 10.25-inch display with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. Depending on the model you choose, the seat upholstery options include woven cloth or SynTex trim, or a combination of both. Higher models offer heated and ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, an optional Bose audio system, and Digital Key 2 Touch.

The 2025 Kia Seltos offers several advanced safety features and driver-assistance technologies, including forward collision-avoidance assist with vehicle, pedestrian, and cyclist detection. Other standard features include lane departure warning, lane-keep assist, and driver attention warning. The S trim and above add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. The SX features adaptive cruise control, while the EX and SX include rear parking sensors. Higher trims also offer highway driving assist and safe exit warning to prevent passengers from opening doors into traffic.
