2023 Kia Seltos

The first trim in the 2023 Seltos lineup is the LX, which features classic lines and athletic curves accentuated by 17-inch wheels, rear privacy glass, and a keyless entry system. On the S, you'll find heated sideview mirrors featuring turn indicators, and on the EX, you'll notice solar control glass and 17-inch wheels with a machine finish. Kia equips the Nightfall Edition with machine-finished wheels measuring 18 inches, a black-finished grille, and a black-finished door garnish. The SX gets LED headlamps and LED fog lamps. You can choose from several exquisite exterior colors, including Mars Orange, Starbright Yellow, and Neptune Blue.

The 2023 Seltos lineup's base engine is a 146-horsepower, 2-liter four-cylinder that generates 132 pound-feet of torque. The Nightfall Edition and SX feature a 175-horsepower, 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with an output of 195 pound-feet of torque. Thanks to innovative fuel-saving technology, the turbocharged engine is as efficient as it is powerful, helping the Seltos get up to 30 mpg on the highway.

Inside the 2023 Seltos, you'll find ample seating for five, premium seating surfaces that are comfortable yet durable, and stylish accents that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Depending on which trim level you choose, you'll enjoy amenities like automatic climate control featuring an auto defog system, front seats with heating, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Lower trim levels feature an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, while upper trim levels get a 10.25-inch display. Every Seltos gives you 62.8 cubic feet of cargo space when you fold the rear seats flat.

Kia pairs the base engine with an intelligent variable transmission, while the turbocharged engine teams up with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Both systems optimize engine response while seamlessly shifting through gears for precise acceleration and straightforward handling. An agile front-wheel-drive system features in the LX and S, or you can upgrade to a torque-vectoring all-wheel-drive system, which comes standard in the EX, Nightfall Edition, and SX. This innovative system constantly monitors road conditions to accurately distribute torque across all four wheels for maximum traction and control.

The 2023 Kia Seltos protects your most precious cargo with a forward collision-avoidance assist system that can detect pedestrians and vehicles and provide additional braking support when it senses an impending collision. Lane-following assist teams up with a lane-departure warning and lane-keeping assistance to keep your vehicle centered in its lane and prevent unintentional drifting. When a vehicle enters your blind-spot zones, you'll receive an alert from the blind-spot monitor, while rear cross-traffic alert scans for approaching traffic when driving in reverse. The Seltos also offers a tire pressure monitoring system, a rear-view monitor, and a rear occupant alert.
