The Seltos is Kia's baby SUV, and for the 2027 model year, it gets a full makeover and a new hybrid powertrain. They say that imitation is the best form of flattery, and even with its subcompact proportions, the Kia Seltos Hybrid tries its best to copy the look of its mid-size sibling, the Kia Telluride. It also takes inspiration from that model's interior, now touting a thoroughly modern tech suite and a streamlined cabin design.
The Seltos Hybrid's powertrain features a 1.6-liter four-cylinder augmented by electric motors. A 155-hp front-wheel-drive comes standard, and a 179-hp all-wheel-drive configuration is also available. While it will compete with the similarly small Kia Niro Hybrid for market share in the subcompact hybrid SUV segment, the Seltos Hybrid will likely have the edge on that model in both passenger and cargo space.
