2026 Seltos FAQs
How Much Does the 2026 Kia Seltos Cost?⌄
Entry pricing on the 2026 Seltos is $23,790 MSRP for the LX FWD, climbing to $31,490 for the SX, before the $1,495 destination fee. Check live Seltos inventory for today’s actual transaction pricing once current offers are applied.
Did the 2026 Seltos Drop the X-Line Trim?⌄
That’s right. Kia discontinued the black-trimmed X-Line package for MY2026, leaving four trims — LX, S, EX, and SX — to finish out the outgoing (pre-redesign) generation ahead of the redesigned, X-Line-equipped 2027 Seltos.
Which 2026 Seltos Trim Is the Best Value?⌄
Most shoppers settle on the EX — it delivers more standard comfort and convenience equipment than the S for a modest premium, with FWD or AWD either way. Chasing more power? The SX alone gets the turbo engine, and it’s AWD-only.
What Engines Does the 2026 Seltos Offer?⌄
LX, S, and EX get a standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder (147 hp), while the AWD-only SX exclusively runs a 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder (190 hp). There’s no U.S. factory towing rating on the Seltos.
