Modern Motoring: A First Drive of the 2027 Kia Seltos

A first drive of the all-new 2027 Kia Seltos shows that their second most popular model gets a full makeover.

With an exterior design inspired by the EV9/EV5/Telluride, a familiar upscale interior and standard tech and safety galore, there's a lot to like about the all-new Seltos.

Add in two powertrains (naturally aspirated 2.0 and turbocharged 1.6) and good driving dynamics, plus smart cargo space and a spacious rear seat, and Kia just might have another hit on their hands.

There's also a hybrid version coming in late 2026.
