2027 Kia Seltos Release Date and Price: Now Available in Minnesota

Kia didn’t just tweak the Seltos for 2027 — they reinvented it. The 2027 Kia Seltos rides on an all-new, larger design with a boxy, mini-Telluride look, a big jump in cabin tech, and — for the first time ever — a hybrid option on the way. If you’ve been shopping compact SUVs around the Twin Cities, this is the redesign worth waiting for. And the good news is you don’t have to wait: the gas models are already on the ground at Jeff Belzer’s Kia in Lakeville. Here’s everything that’s new and how to get behind the wheel.

What’s New for the 2027 Kia Seltos

The second-generation 2027 Kia Seltos grows in almost every direction and pulls features straight from Kia’s flagship Telluride.

• Bolder, boxier styling with flush, auto-presenting door handles and an available panoramic sunroof.
• More room: a longer 105.9-inch wheelbase (up 2.4 inches) means more passenger space and up to roughly 64 cubic feet of cargo room with the seats folded.
• A huge tech upgrade — up to nearly 30 inches of combined screens, Kia’s latest ccNC infotainment with over-the-air updates, and a ChatGPT-powered voice assistant.
• A first-ever Seltos Hybrid with an available electric all-wheel-drive (e-AWD) system.

2026 vs. 2027 Kia Seltos: What Changed?

The 2027 redesign is a genuine leap over the outgoing model. Here’s how the two model years stack up.

*Specs vary by trim and configuration. Contact Jeff Belzer’s for the latest availability and model details.

Trims, Engines & Fuel Economy

The 2027 Seltos comes in five trims: LX, S, EX, X-Line S, and X-Line SX.

• 2.0L four-cylinder (LX, S, X-Line S, EX): 147 hp and 132 lb-ft, paired with an 8-speed automatic.
• 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder (X-Line SX): a punchier 190 hp and 195 lb-ft.
• Front-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is available, including Kia’s Multi-Mode AWD — a nice plus for Minnesota winters.
• Fuel economy is estimated at up to 30 mpg combined on front-drive 2.0L models (Kia estimate; official EPA figures pending).

How much does the 2027 Kia Seltos cost?

The 2027 Kia Seltos starts at $24,990 for the LX and tops out around $32,790 for the turbocharged X-Line SX. Most trims use a 147-hp 2.0L engine, while the X-Line SX gets a 190-hp turbo. Final pricing varies by trim, drivetrain, and options.

Inside the 2027 Seltos: Tech, Comfort & Safety

Step inside and the Seltos feels like a much bigger, pricier SUV.

• Up to dual 12.3-inch displays plus a 5-inch climate panel, running Kia’s ccNC system with over-the-air updates and standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Available panoramic sunroof, memory power seats, Surround View Monitor, and 64-color ambient lighting.
• Driver-assist tech trickled down from the Telluride, including Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist with Junction Turning.
