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

Shop 2027 Seltos Inventory

The redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos is officially on the way, and it is shaping up to be one of the most exciting small SUV launches for Minnesota drivers. If you are shopping near Lakeville, the Twin Cities, or anywhere across the greater Midwest, you may already be asking two big questions: when is the 2027 Kia Seltos coming out, and how much will it cost?

As of June 2026, the 2027 Kia Seltos gas-powered models have begun arriving at Jeff Belzer Kia in Lakeville! The hybrid version of the 2027 Seltos is expected to arrive later this year.

In this guide, we’ll cover:

• What is officially confirmed about the 2027 Kia Seltos now that it is arriving
• What Kia has and has not confirmed about pricing
• Key redesign highlights shoppers should know
• Why the Seltos Hybrid is worth watching
• How Minnesota shoppers can prepare before inventory arrives

What Is the 2027 Kia Seltos?

The 2027 Kia Seltos is the second generation of Kia’s small SUV. Kia revealed the redesigned model at the 2026 New York International Auto Show and described it as larger, wider, roomier, and more feature-rich than the previous-generation Seltos. Kia also says the new Seltos takes design inspiration from the 2027 Kia Telluride, giving it a more upright, confident look.

For Minnesota shoppers, that matters. The Seltos has already been a popular choice for drivers who want SUV practicality without moving into a larger vehicle. The 2027 redesign appears to lean even harder into that balance, with more passenger room, more cargo space, available all-wheel drive, and new technology that should appeal to commuters, small families, and weekend travelers.

Kia has also confirmed that the 2027 Seltos lineup will include gas, turbocharged gas, and hybrid powertrain options. The hybrid version is especially notable because it will be the first hybrid powertrain offered for the Seltos.

2027 Kia Seltos Release Date: When Is the New Seltos Coming Out?

Kia’s consumer site says the 2027 Seltos is expected mid-2026, while the 2027 Seltos Hybrid is expected late 2026 with limited inventory available. Kia’s media site provides a little more detail, stating that the 2.0-liter and 1.6-liter turbo gas models are expected to arrive in the United States in Q2 2026, while the hybrid is expected in late Q4 2026.

That means shoppers should think of the release in two phases:

Gas Models: Available Now

The standard gas-powered 2027 Seltos has begun to arrive at Jeff Belzer Kia in Lakeville, Minnesota. Kia has confirmed that the 2.0-liter engine will be offered in LX, S, EX, and X-Line trims. The available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine will be offered in X-Line trim only.

The 2027 Kia Seltos is no longer something to watch from a distance. If you are shopping near Lakeville, the Twin Cities, or elsewhere in Minnesota, you can now start comparing trims, features, and real inventory instead of waiting for the first arrival window. Note that early availability can be limited depending on trim and equipment.

Hybrid Model: Expected Late 2026

The 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid is expected later, with Kia saying it is planned for late 2026. Kia also notes that hybrid inventory is expected to be limited at launch.

That limited-inventory note is important. If you are interested in the Seltos Hybrid, it may be smart to stay in contact with Jeff Belzer’s Kia early so you can get updates as more information becomes available.

2027 Kia Seltos Price: What Kia has Announced

This is another major update from the original version of the article: Kia has now published official starting MSRPs for the gas-powered 2027 Kia Seltos lineup. Kia’s specs-and-compare page currently shows five gas trims, all before destination, taxes, title, license, options, and dealer charges:

• LX at $24,990
• S at $26,390
• EX at $28,390
• X-Line S at $28,990
• X-Line SX at $32,790

Hybrid Seltos Pricing

Seltos Hybrid pricing, however, has still not been announced. Kia’s official hybrid materials continue to say that pricing, timing, trim details, and EPA-rated fuel economy for the hybrid remain subject to future announcements.

What Shoppers Can Do Before Seltos Hybrid Pricing Is Released

Even without official pricing on the hybrid model, you can still prepare. Start by deciding which version of the redesigned Seltos may fit your needs:

• Choose the standard gas model if you want immediate availability – inventory is available now at Jeff Belzer’s.
• Watch the X-Line if you want turbocharged performance and a more rugged look.
• Follow the hybrid if fuel efficiency and available e-AWD are high priorities.
• Consider your must-have features, such as heated seats, driver-assist technology, cargo flexibility, or a panoramic sunroof.

Once official Seltos Hybrid pricing is announced, it will be much easier to compare trims and decide which Seltos makes the most sense for your budget and driving needs.

What’s New in the Redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos?

The 2027 Seltos is more than a light refresh. Kia calls it the second-generation Seltos, and the changes touch design, size, capability, technology, and powertrain choice.

Kia says the new Seltos is longer and wider than the previous model, with a wheelbase that is 2.4 inches greater. Kia also says rear legroom increases by 1 inch, and the cabin gains more headroom, hip room, and shoulder room.

Cargo space is another major highlight. Kia’s consumer page describes the 2027 Seltos as offering class-leading cargo room with the rear seats folded, based on Kia’s comparison of 2027 entry CUVs as of March 2026.

The exterior design is bolder, too. Kia says the redesigned Seltos uses design cues inspired by the 2027 Telluride, including amber daytime running light elements, bold angles, clean lines, and available flush door handles.

Gas, Turbo, and Hybrid Powertrain Details

Kia has confirmed three powertrain directions for the 2027 Seltos: a standard 2.0-liter gas engine, an available 1.6-liter turbocharged gas engine, and an all-new 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain.

2.0-Liter Gas Engine

The 2.0-liter engine will be offered in LX, S, EX, and X-Line trims. Kia says this powertrain will be paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission. Front-wheel drive and available all-wheel drive are expected depending on trim.

1.6-Liter Turbocharged Engine

The available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine is expected to produce an estimated 190 horsepower. Kia says this turbo engine will be available in X-Line trim only and paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission.

For Minnesota shoppers who want extra confidence in changing weather, the X-Line will be especially worth watching. Kia says the turbocharged X-Line includes an advanced Multi-Mode AWD system.

1.6-Liter Hybrid

The 2027 Seltos Hybrid will use a 1.6-liter hybrid powertrain paired with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Kia says the hybrid will offer front-wheel drive and available e-AWD, which Kia describes as a first for a Kia hybrid SUV. More Seltos Hybrid information will be shared closer to its planned late-2026 on-sale date.

Official fuel economy estimates have not been announced yet.

Interior, Technology, and Safety Highlights

Inside, the redesigned 2027 Seltos moves closer to the look and feel of Kia’s larger SUVs. Kia says the cabin includes a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen display, standard wireless Apple CarPlay and wireless Android Auto, and available nearly 30 inches of total combined display area when equipped with the available digital cockpit setup.

Available features include a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated front seats, memory driver’s seat, Surround View Monitor, and Blind-Spot View Monitor. Kia also says the Seltos will offer 13 standard and up to 24 available collision avoidance and driver-assistance features.

For daily driving around Lakeville, Rosemount, Burnsville, Eagan, Minneapolis, St. Paul, and surrounding Minnesota communities, those updates should make the 2027 Seltos feel more modern and more comfortable than the outgoing generation.

Should Minnesota Shoppers Buy the 2027 Kia Seltos Now or Wait for the Hybrid?

If you want the redesigned body, updated cabin, official gas-model pricing, and the ability to start shopping real inventory now, the answer is simple: the gas-powered 2027 Kia Seltos is ready to be on your list. That is especially true if you like the value-oriented LX, S, or EX trims, or if the rugged X-Line look matters more to you than waiting for the hybrid.

If your top priority is electrified efficiency, then it still makes sense to watch the 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid. Kia continues to position it as an important part of the new Seltos family, especially with available e-AWD, but it has not reached the same “shop it now” stage as the gas model.

That said, shoppers who need a hybrid vehicle sooner may still want to compare current Kia Hybrid SUV options like the Sorento Hybrid, Sportage Hybrid, and Telluride Hybrid. Availability, timing, and trim selection can vary, especially during a new-model launch. Jeff Belzer’s Kia can help you compare current inventory with what is expected from the upcoming 2027 Seltos.

Key Takeaways

The biggest update is straightforward: the gas-powered 2027 Kia Seltos is no longer just “coming soon.” Kia now lists official pricing and trim details, and Jeff Belzer is already showing 2027 Seltos inventory online. The gas lineup starts at $24,990 and runs through the $32,790 X-Line SX before destination and dealer-related charges.

The hybrid remains the part of the story that is still ahead. Kia continues to list the 2027 Seltos Hybrid as coming soon, with late-2026 timing and limited early inventory. So for Minnesota shoppers, the real decision now is not whether the 2027 Seltos is on the way. It is whether to shop the new gas model today or hold out a little longer for the hybrid.

Features, trims, pricing, fuel economy, and timing are subject to change. Contact Jeff Belzer’s Kia for the latest availability.
