2027 Kia Seltos in Bedford, OH
The all-new 2027 Kia Seltos has arrived in Bedford, OH. Kia completely redesigned its small SUV for 2027, giving it a larger cabin, more cargo space, updated technology, available all-wheel drive, and a more upright design inspired by larger Kia SUVs such as the Telluride.
Starting at $24,990 MSRP, the 2027 Seltos remains an accessible entry into the Kia SUV lineup while offering more space and features than the previous generation.
Drivers can choose between a 147-horsepower 2.0L engine and an available 190-horsepower turbocharged engine, plus front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
Here is what Bedford and Cleveland-area drivers should know about the redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos.

What's New for the 2027 Kia Seltos?
The 2027 Seltos begins the model's second generation. It is longer and wider than the outgoing version, with a longer wheelbase that creates more passenger and cargo room.
The exterior also changes considerably. Kia gave the Seltos a more upright profile, new Star Map lighting, a wider stance, and styling influenced by the redesigned Telluride.
Inside, drivers get a more modern dashboard centered around a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. Available equipment can expand the digital layout with a 12.3-inch instrument display and a dedicated 5-inch climate-control display.
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the lineup.

2027 Kia Seltos Engine Options
Most 2027 Seltos models use a 2.0L four-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque.
It is paired with Kia's Intelligent Variable Transmission and is available with either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, depending on trim.
The range-topping X-Line SX AWD uses a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. The turbo engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The X-Line SX also adds a Multi-Terrain Mode system with Snow, Mud, and Sand settings.
That gives drivers two distinct choices. The 2.0L engine focuses on everyday efficiency and value, while the turbocharged X-Line SX provides stronger acceleration and additional AWD capability.
Is AWD Available on the 2027 Kia Seltos?
Yes. All-wheel drive is available throughout much of the 2027 Seltos lineup.
The LX, S, and EX can be configured with either front-wheel drive or AWD. The X-Line S and X-Line SX come with AWD.
For Northeast Ohio drivers, that makes the Seltos particularly useful during winter. AWD can help provide additional traction during acceleration on wet, snowy, or slippery roads.
The X-Line SX goes further with Snow, Mud, and Sand terrain settings and a multi-link rear suspension.
AWD does not replace proper winter tires or careful driving, but it gives Bedford drivers another option when road conditions become less predictable.
2027 Kia Seltos Trim Levels and Pricing
The 2027 gasoline Seltos lineup includes five main trim levels with multiple drivetrain configurations.
| Configuration | Starting MSRP |
|---|---|
| LX FWD | $24,990 |
| S FWD | $26,390 |
| LX AWD | $26,690 |
| S AWD | $28,090 |
| EX FWD | $28,390 |
| X-Line S AWD | $28,990 |
| EX AWD | $30,090 |
| X-Line SX AWD | $32,790 |
Manufacturer's suggested retail prices exclude the $1,495 destination charge, taxes, title, license, optional equipment, and dealer charges. Actual dealer pricing may vary.
More Passenger and Cargo Space
The larger dimensions of the redesigned Seltos translate into more usable room inside.
Kia lists 27.8 cubic feet of cargo space behind the second row and up to 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.
That is useful for groceries, luggage, strollers, sports equipment, and the extra gear that tends to accumulate during Northeast Ohio winters.
The Seltos is still compact enough to be easy to maneuver and park, which gives it an advantage for drivers who spend time in Cleveland but still want SUV cargo flexibility.

Technology Inside the 2027 Seltos
Every 2027 Seltos comes with a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Depending on trim and package, available technology includes:
- 12.3-inch digital instrument display
- 5-inch climate-control display
- Connected Car Navigation Cockpit with over-the-air updates
- Panoramic sunroof
- Smart power liftgate
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Available premium audio

The available three-screen layout provides nearly 30 inches of combined display area while keeping common climate and infotainment controls easy to access.
2027 Kia Seltos Fuel Economy
The front-wheel-drive 2.0L Seltos is EPA-estimated at 28 MPG city, 33 MPG highway, and 30 MPG combined.
AWD models with the 2.0L engine are rated at 26 MPG city, 30 MPG highway, and 28 MPG combined.
The turbocharged X-Line SX AWD is rated at 24 MPG city, 30 MPG highway, and 26 MPG combined.
That gives buyers a clear tradeoff. FWD configurations provide the strongest fuel economy, while AWD adds traction for Northeast Ohio weather. The X-Line SX prioritizes performance with its 190-horsepower turbo engine.
2027 Kia Seltos Safety and Driver Assistance
