2027 Kia Seltos: Next-Gen SUV Revealed with Bigger Body, New Tech, Hybrid Power

The 2027 Seltos introduces Kia’s first hybrid option, new technology, and a bolder design with 12% more high-strength steel for improved safety and efficiency.

  • This month Kia's 2027 Seltos enters production with a divisive redesign, launching first in India and adding an optional hybrid for the first time.
  • Previously the Seltos was viewed as bland since its 2019 debut, but Hyundai Motor Group’s brands pushed Kia toward provocative, futuristic designs and marketing drivers as 'protagonists'.
  • The 2027 Seltos uses the K3 platform with 12% more high-strength steel, and engine options include a carryover 2.0-liter and a turbo 1.6-liter .
  • A 2.4-inch longer wheelbase translates into greater interior space, giving second-row passengers more legroom and cargo flexibility with a foldable dual-level cargo board.
  • A hybrid Seltos is due later in 2026 as Kia plans the first Seltos hybrid, with South Korea, North America, Europe and China following throughout 2026.
