The 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid marks a major milestone for this popular compact SUV. For the first time, Kia is introducing a highly efficient hybrid powertrain to the Seltos lineup, completely redesigning the vehicle from the ground up. Drivers around Lawrence, KS, will appreciate the larger footprint, advanced technology, and confident performance that this new model brings to the table. If you are researching an efficient and capable crossover, the new Seltos deserves your attention.
A Redesigned Exterior and Larger Footprint
The outgoing generation of the Seltos was already a practical choice, but the 2027 model takes things a step further. The new Seltos is larger than before, measuring 1.8 inches longer and 1.2 inches wider. This increased size translates directly to more interior space and a commanding presence on the road.
Styling cues draw inspiration from larger Kia SUVs like the Telluride, featuring a broad grille, vertical lighting, and bold wheel arches. Trims like the X-Line add a rugged edge with unique dark accents and available 19-inch wheels.
Powertrain Options and Hybrid Efficiency
The biggest news for the 2027 model year is the introduction of the hybrid powertrain. It pairs a 1.6-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with electric motors and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, with two drivetrain configurations available.
For those looking at traditional gas models, Kia continues to offer the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower. A more potent 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is also available, delivering 190 horsepower for a sportier driving experience.
Hybrid Front-Wheel Drive
The standard hybrid configuration delivers 155 horsepower through the front wheels, combining the 1.6-liter four-cylinder with an electric motor for efficient everyday driving.
Hybrid All-Wheel Drive
The available AWD configuration adds a rear-mounted electric motor for a total output of 179 horsepower, delivering added traction and confidence across all driving conditions.
Upgraded Interior and Advanced Technology
Inside the cabin, the 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid offers a thoroughly modern and spacious environment. Rear passengers benefit from increased legroom and seatbacks that can recline up to 24 degrees for added comfort. Cargo space is generous, providing 28 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 64 cubic feet with the rear seats folded down.
The dashboard is highlighted by an impressive dual-display setup, including a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen housed in a single panel. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, ensuring seamless smartphone connectivity on every trip.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Kia equips the new Seltos with a robust suite of standard safety features to protect you and your passengers. Automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and parking sensors are all included. Higher trims offer adaptive cruise control with a lane-centering feature for easier highway commuting.
