The boxier new Seltos costs less than the HR-V, Kona, and Crosstrek in key trims.
Value has always been a calling card of Kia’s Seltos subcompact SUV. In a crowded field of offerings, the Seltos has consistently delivered a solid mix of features, style, and affordability, making it one of the easiest-to-recommend models in the segment.
The formula has only improved with the updated 2027 Kia Seltos thanks to a substantial redesign inside and out, highlighted by a boxier, more upright exterior style that brings it more in line with its EV9 and Telluride SUV stablemates. Better still, Kia managed to do it without blowing past the price ceiling that matters most to buyers. The 2027 Seltos starts at $26,485 in front-wheel-drive form, and all-wheel drive adds just $1,700.
