Performance
Two responsive engine options are offered. Kia Seltos LX, S and EX trims come with a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower. It's paired with a smooth CVT (continuously variable transmission).
The line-topping SX upgrades to a 1.6-liter turbocharged engine making 190 horsepower mated to an eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive (FWD) is standard, with all-wheel drive (AWD) optional on most trims for enhanced traction, capability and towing capacity.
