Introducing the 2023 Kia Seltos

Safety Technologies

Every trim option has several features from the Kia Drive Wise Driver Assist Technology. These features help drivers avoid collisions while on the road by keeping track of their surroundings. They can alert the driver when close to something or apply the brakes if needed. All trims have Auto Emergency Braking Technology, Lane Following Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Rear Occupant Alert, High Beam Assist, and Driver Attention Warning.

Every trim apart from the LX has additional safety features. For example, Blind Spot Detection and Collision Avoidance Technology and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Avoidance Technology (RCAA) both help prevent collisions from certain angles with alerts when the driver is maneuvering the vehicle near objects or people. Additionally, the SX has a Cyclist Detection feature, increasing safety to a whole new level by automatically breaking when approaching cyclists.

Smart Integrations

Every Seltos trim has a touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ to keep your favorite apps integrated into your SUV. All trims also have a rear-view monitor to help drivers maneuver while backing up or parking.

The Smart Key with Push Button Start and Remote Start is present in the S, EX, Nightfall Edition, and SX. This feature allows you to lock and unlock your car from a distance. Additionally, it can start the engine or climate control functions to get your SUV started before you even get inside.

Engines and Powertrains

The LX, S, and EX all have a powerful and efficient 2.0L, 4-cylinder engine with 149hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. The engine also has an AWD powertrain coupled with IVT, providing great fuel economy and a smoother ride.

Meanwhile, the Nightfall Edition and SX both have an even more powerful 1.6L, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine with 175hp and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. Additionally, the engine comes with an AWD powertrain with Torque Vectoring and Center-Locking, adding extra control and traction when driving through rough terrain.

Looks and Finish

All trims have incredible interior and exterior finishes and multiple color customization, adding a beautiful and luxurious look to a powerful SUV. Additionally, all trims, except the LX, have SynTex seating materials, adding an elegant finish to the interior.

The LX, S, and EX all have 17-inch alloy wheels, but the EX has a machined finish that makes it stand out. Alternatively, the Nightfall Edition and SX are equipped with 18-inch alloy wheels. The Nightfall Edition has a matte black finish, while the SX features a machined finish.
