Kia Seltos 2027: compact SUV packs big value and multiple powertrains

TL;DR
The 2027 Kia Seltos is a larger-but-still-subcompact SUV that starts at $24,990 (plus delivery), with three powertrains including a 2.0L/147 hp base engine and a 1.6L turbo AWD option for the SX/X-Line; the hybrid arrives in Q4 next year. It offers a roomy interior, a 12.3-inch infotainment screen, strong cargo space (27.8 cu ft, up to 64.2 cu ft with seats folded), and practical features, though the ride can be firm and road noise audible. LX AWD adds about $1,700, while a well-equipped SX can approach $38k with options.
