What’s New in the 2027 Kia Seltos? A Look
at the Redesigned SUV
If you’ve been searching for a small SUV that combines everyday practicality with modern
technology and a fresh design, the redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos deserves a closer look.
The new Seltos has arrived with significant updates inside and out, giving drivers around
Bloomington-Normal and Central Illinois another option when shopping for a compact
SUV.
At O’Brien Kia of Bloomington, we’re taking a closer look at what changed for 2027 and
what drivers can expect from the newest Seltos.
A Completely New Look for the 2027 Seltos
One of the first things you’ll notice about the 2027 Kia Seltos is its redesigned exterior.
Kia gave the new Seltos a more squared-off and confident appearance, creating a compact
SUV that maintains a city-friendly size while offering a more rugged and modern presence.
The 2027 Seltos also introduces the new X-Line trim, which adds distinctive styling
elements including black exterior accents, unique wheels and roof rails.
Whether you’re commuting through Bloomington-Normal or heading out of town for the
weekend, the Seltos is designed to offer SUV versatility without feeling oversized.

More Technology Inside
The changes continue when you step inside.
Available technology in the 2027 Kia Seltos includes a digital cockpit offering nearly 30
inches of combined digital displays. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ help
drivers access compatible smartphone features without needing to plug in every time they
get behind the wheel.
Depending on the trim and equipment selected, available features can also include:
• Wireless smartphone charging
• Harman Kardon® premium audio
• Heated and ventilated front seats
• Heated steering wheel
• Panoramic sunroof
• Memory driver’s seat
• Hands-free Smart Power Liftgate
• 360° Surround View Monitor
• Blind-Spot View Monitor
Feature availability varies by trim, so drivers can choose a Seltos that fits their priorities.
Plenty of Room for Everyday Life
A compact SUV still needs to be practical.
The 2027 Seltos offers a spacious interior designed to handle passengers, groceries, work
bags, sports equipment and weekend gear. Kia describes the new Seltos as offering classleading maximum cargo room behind the first row.
That versatility can make the Seltos a practical choice for a wide range of Central Illinois
drivers, from daily commuters to small families.

see how the Seltos compares with other Kia SUVs.
Available All-Wheel Drive
Illinois weather can change quickly, which makes available all-wheel drive an important
consideration for many local SUV shoppers.
The 2027 Kia Seltos offers available AWD, while X-Line models add a multi-terrain mode
system with settings designed for mud, snow and sand.
All-wheel drive doesn’t replace careful driving in poor conditions, but the availability of an
AWD configuration gives shoppers another option when choosing a Seltos for year-round
driving.
Available Turbocharged Performance
Drivers looking for some additional power can also find it in the 2027 Seltos lineup.
An available turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine produces 190 horsepower. It’s
available within the X-Line lineup, giving shoppers the ability to combine the Seltos’
compact dimensions with additional performance.
For drivers more focused on everyday efficiency and comfort, other Seltos configurations
provide alternatives without requiring the turbocharged engine.
Driver-Assistance Technology
The 2027 Seltos also offers a range of driver-assistance technologies.
Depending on configuration, available systems include Forward Collision-Avoidance
Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance
Assist, parking sensors and Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go.
These technologies are designed to assist an attentive driver and are not substitutes for
safe driving.
Is the 2027 Kia Seltos Right for You?
The redesigned Seltos sits in an interesting spot within Kia’s SUV lineup.
It offers the maneuverability of a smaller SUV while still providing flexible cargo space,
available AWD and many of the technology features shoppers expect from a modern
vehicle.
For Bloomington-Normal drivers, it may be worth considering if you’re looking for a vehicle
that’s comfortable for everyday commuting but still versatile enough for road trips,
changing seasons and busy weekends.
