Launched in 2020, the Kia Seltos was created to fill the gap between subcompact and compact SUVs, offering the agility of a smaller vehicle with the space and features of a larger one. It quickly gained popularity with young professionals, active individuals, and small families who want something affordable, fun to drive, and packed with features. With its sharp design and strong value, the Seltos is perfect for anyone who needs versatility without sacrificing style or technology.

2025 Kia Seltos Overview

The 2025 Kia Seltos builds on the model’s recent refresh, offering subtle styling updates, new paint colors, and expanded standard features across its trim lineup. While the overall design and platform remain the same, Kia continues to refine the Seltos with a more upscale interior feel, smarter infotainment options, and more safety features. To say the least, the 2025 Seltos might be a small SUV, but it feels much more premium than its price tag suggests. 

The most notable changes include standard Parking Distance Warning-Reverse (PDW-R) on the EX and SX trims. While the EX AWD and SX now come with a standard smart power liftgate and cargo cover. The base S trim gets a style upgrade with new 17-inch two-tone alloy wheels and a 4.3-inch gauge cluster display. Also, across all the 2025 Seltos trims, interior materials have been refined for a more high-end, premium feel. Pricing also sees a modest increase, with the base model up $100 and higher trims rising by up to $1,000.

Performance

All-wheel drive is available on most trims, giving drivers more control in bad weather and light off-road conditions. The turbocharged engine, in particular, delivers lively acceleration and confident highway passing power, making the Seltos a standout in the segment. The 2025 Seltos offers two engine options:

  • A 2.0L 4-cylinder engine producing 146 horsepower, paired with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).
  • A 1.6L turbocharged engine with 195 horsepower and an 8-speed automatic transmission, available on higher trims.

MPG

The 2025 Kia Seltos offers competitive fuel efficiency for its class:

  • 2.0L FWD: Up to 28 mpg city / 34 mpg highway
  • 2.0L AWD: Up to 27 mpg city / 31 mpg highway
  • 1.6L Turbo AWD: Around 25 mpg city / 30 mpg highway

Top Speed

With its turbocharged engine, the 2025 Seltos can reach a top speed of approximately 125 mph. While you’ll rarely need that on daily drives, it’s reassuring to know the Seltos has the power and stability for confident highway driving. In terms of 0-60 mph, the Kia Seltos can get there in 6.9 seconds.

Interior

Inside, the 2025 Kia Seltos offers a surprisingly roomy and refined cabin for a subcompact SUV. You’ll find available two-tone color schemes, leather-wrapped surfaces, and thoughtful design touches all throughout. Also, there’s ample space for five passengers. The cargo area delivers up to 26.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 62.8 cubic feet with them folded flat. It’s a great balance of everyday comfort and weekend versatility.

Technology

Technology is front and center in the 2025 Kia Seltos. Top trims offer features like a Bose premium audio system, smart key with push-button start, and ambient lighting that syncs with your music. Standard and available features include:

  • 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Wireless charging pad
  • Digital instrument cluster
  • Navigation with real-time traffic updates
  • Kia Connect remote services

Safety

Kia continues to offer excellent safety features with the Seltos. Higher trims can include adaptive cruise control, blind-spot collision avoidance, and rear cross-traffic alert, making the Seltos one of the most well-rounded SUVs in its class when it comes to safety tech. Every 2025 model comes with Kia Drive Wise, including:

  • Forward Collision Avoidance Assist
  • Lane Keeping Assist
  • Driver Attention Warning
  • Rear View Monitor with dynamic guidelines
