10 Things You'll Love About The 2027 Kia Seltos SUV
Small SUV. Big personality.
The all-new 2027 Kia Seltos arrives with a fresh design, a surprisingly roomy interior, available turbocharged power, available all-wheel drive, and enough technology to make your current vehicle feel a little behind the times.
For drivers around Joplin and the Four States looking for an SUV that’s easy to live with Monday through Friday but ready to get out of town on Saturday, the new Seltos packs plenty into a compact footprint.
Here are 10 things the team at Roper Kia thinks you’ll love about the 2027 Kia Seltos.
1. It’s All-New for 2027
Kia didn’t just give the Seltos a tiny refresh and call it a day. The 2027 Kia Seltos is all-new, with redesigned styling inside and out.
The new generation adopts some design cues from the larger Telluride, with a bolder front end, sculpted body lines, and a more modern overall appearance. Available flush auto pop-out door handles add another upscale touch.
The result? A compact SUV that doesn’t look like it’s trying to disappear in the parking lot.
2. There’s More Room Than You Might Expect
“Compact” doesn't have to mean cramped.
Kia says the new Seltos offers best-in-class interior room and class-leading maximum cargo room, giving passengers and their stuff plenty of space without requiring you to drive an oversized SUV.
That versatility makes the Seltos an easy fit for commuters, couples, small families, road trips, grocery runs, pets, sports gear, and all the other things that somehow end up in the back of your vehicle.
3. You Can Get 190 Turbocharged Horsepower
Want a little more excitement when you press the accelerator?
The available 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces 190 horsepower, giving the Seltos some extra punch for highway merging, passing, and everyday driving.
Drivers who prioritize efficiency can also choose the standard 2.0L four-cylinder engine. The 2027 Seltos LX is EPA-rated at up to 28 MPG city, 33 MPG highway, and 30 MPG combined.
So whether your priority is efficiency or extra power, there’s a Seltos configuration worth considering.
4. Available AWD Is Ready for More Than Perfect Weather
Missouri weather has a habit of keeping things interesting.
The 2027 Kia Seltos offers available all-wheel drive, while X-Line models add a more adventure-oriented look and standard AWD. Available multi-terrain settings include Mud, Snow, and Sand modes, helping drivers adapt the SUV to changing surfaces and conditions.
That extra capability can be useful whether you're dealing with a messy winter commute around Joplin or heading farther off the beaten path for the weekend.
5. The X-Line Looks Seriously Good
If you want your compact SUV with a little more attitude, meet the 2027 Seltos X-Line.
X-Line models feature unique exterior elements including black front and rear fascias, black roof rails, black Kia badging, and exclusive 18-inch wheels. Inside, you’ll find exclusive X-Line seat trim and heated front seats.
Available upgrades include a panoramic sunroof, LED projector headlights, and the 190-horsepower turbocharged engine.
Practical? Yes.
Boring? Absolutely not.
6. Nearly 30 Inches of Available Digital Displays
The new Seltos gets a serious technology upgrade.
An available digital cockpit provides nearly 30 inches of combined digital displays, bringing navigation, vehicle information, entertainment, and other functions together across the dashboard. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and wireless Android Auto™ are also available.
Even the entry-level LX comes standard with a 12.3-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay®, so useful technology isn't reserved exclusively for the highest trim.
7. Loading Up Just Got Easier
Ever walk toward your SUV carrying six grocery bags because making two trips would apparently be admitting defeat?
The Seltos understands.
An available Hands-Free Smart Power Liftgate can automatically open when it detects the key fob, helping make loading and unloading easier when your hands are full.
Pair that with the Seltos’ generous cargo capacity, and you have a compact SUV designed for actual everyday life—not just looking good in the brochure.
8. There’s Plenty of Available Driver-Assist Technology
Technology is great when it entertains you. It’s even better when it helps you stay aware of what's happening around your vehicle.
The 2027 Seltos LX includes 13 collision-avoidance and safety-assist features, while higher configurations can add even more advanced technology.
The available Prestige Package, for example, adds features including a Blind-Spot View Monitor and 360° Surround View Monitor, along with comfort upgrades such as ventilated front seats.
Driver-assistance systems don't replace attentive driving, but they can provide useful additional support behind the wheel.
9. Kia Backs It With a Serious Powertrain Warranty
A new vehicle is a big purchase, so knowing there's substantial warranty coverage behind it matters.
The 2027 Seltos comes with Kia’s 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty, which Kia describes as industry-leading.
That adds another layer of confidence for drivers planning to keep their new SUV for the long haul.
And when your Seltos eventually needs routine maintenance, the certified service team at Roper Kia is right here in Joplin to help keep it performing its best.
10. You Can Buy Yours From a Dealership for the People®
