From $28,495 to $41,295: The Complete 2027 Kia Seltos Trim Guide for Ontario Shoppers

The 2027 Kia Seltos has been fully redesigned, bringing Ontario shoppers a subcompact SUV with more passenger space, a broader technology suite, and three distinct powertrain choices. Pricing starts at $28,495 MSRP for the LX FWD 2.0L, making the Seltos an accessible entry point into a well-equipped, five-passenger SUV with a noticeably larger cabin than the previous generation.

This generation goes well beyond a refresh. Rear legroom grows by 25 mm, overall headroom increases by 25 mm, and cargo capacity reaches an estimated 1,817 litres behind the first row. The dashboard takes a clear step forward with standard dual 12.3-inch displays across the lineup. If you’re exploring subcompact SUVs in Ontario, the 2027 Seltos offers a lot to evaluate.

Three Powertrain Options for Different Drivers

The 2027 Seltos gives buyers a genuine choice of three drivetrains, each matched to specific trims.

2.0L Naturally Aspirated Four-Cylinder The LX, EX, and EX Premium trims use a 2.0L four-cylinder engine paired with Kia’s Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The LX is available in front-wheel drive or AWD; the EX and EX Premium are offered in AWD.

1.6L Turbocharged Four-Cylinder The X-Line and X-Line Limited trims get the 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder, producing 190 hp and routing power through an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual control. Both trims are AWD.

1.6L Hybrid (HEV), A First for the Seltos Rounding out the lineup is a new 1.6L four-cylinder hybrid powertrain, the first ever offered in a Seltos. It pairs with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and is available in FWD or e-AWD. The e-AWD on a Kia HEV SUV is itself a first for the brand. The HEV variant is coming to Ontario dealerships later; official fuel economy figures will be announced closer to its on-sale date.

• 2.0L I4 + IVT: LX, EX, EX Premium
• 1.6L Turbo, 190 hp + 8-speed auto: X-Line, X-Line Limited (AWD only)
• 1.6L HEV + 6-speed DCT: FWD or available e-AWD

A Bigger Cabin and More Cargo Room

The 2027 Seltos is physically larger than the model it replaces. The longer wheelbase translates directly into passenger comfort: rear legroom increases by 25 mm and overall headroom grows by 25 mm. Cargo capacity reaches an estimated 1,817 litres behind the first row and an estimated 786 litres behind the second row. A two-step foldable luggage board is available on select models for added storage flexibility.

Standard Technology on Every Trim

The digital dashboard is one of the clearest upgrades in this generation. The Seltos offers a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display and a 12.3-inch instrument cluster display. An available 5-inch climate control panel can also be added. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across all trims. Multiple USB-C ports spanning both rows are also standard, with front-row ports located between the centre console and climate controls and rear-seat ports integrated into the first-row seatbacks.

ADAS Features: Standard and Available

The 2027 Seltos includes a wide set of standard Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), including Forward Collision Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning, Blind Spot Collision Avoidance Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist. Available upgrades include a 3D Surround-View Monitor and a Blind-Spot View Monitor that displays a live video feed on the digital screen when the corresponding turn signal is activated.

Exterior Refresh

The 2027 Seltos gets flush door handles as part of its exterior redesign. Two new colours join the palette: Terrain Brown and Frost Blue.

X-Line and X-Line Limited: The Turbo Trims

For shoppers who want the 1.6L turbocharged engine paired with a sportier interior, the X-Line and X-Line Limited are the two trims to consider. Both feature a monotone black interior with SynTex upholstery, mesh headrests, standard four-way lumbar support, and 19-inch wheels. The X-Line Limited adds front Relaxation Seats. The 2.0L trims (LX, EX, EX Premium) use 16-inch and 18-inch wheels respectively.
