Exterior Features
A Truly Standout Design

Exterior Paint Colours
Colour is an important part of any decision-making when it comes to your next vehicle. Unfortunately, it’s a little tougher with the Seltos, thanks to all of the stunning colour options. Don’t worry, there’s not a bad choice. Explore the available options: (Extra Charge Colour*)
- Fusion Black

Interior
Seating Functionality
The available driver memory seat allows for the storage and recall of two user profiles, meaning you and your partner can have your own set of preferences for whoever’s driving at the time. The Seltos easily adjusts to each when the time demands.
Cargo Hands-Free Liftgate
It’s one thing to have a load of free space for cargo and gear, but it’s another for that space to be totally easily accessible, for loading and unloading. The available hands-free liftgate allows you to open that space without using your hands, which is best when your hands are cluttered with groceries.

One of the most convenient advancements in modern vehicles is the available Heads-Up Display, which displays important information on the windshield in your field of view, so you can stay up-to-date but without having to divert your eyes from the road.
Dual 10.25-inch TFT Displays
Step into the 2026 Kia Seltos and a high-tech command centre immediately greets you. With the available dual 10.25-inch TFT displays, one for your digital gauge cluster and the other for infotainment, you get a seamless, panoramic view of everything that matters.

Safety & Driver Assistance
Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist
It’s true, the 2026 Kia Seltos can provide additional protection by looking out for you in the event of a collision. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is a standard feature that will alert you if it detects a possible crash, so you can make a move to safety. If not, the system will apply the brakes itself to mitigate or minimize the force of an impact.
Lane Keep Assist
Staying secure in your lane sometimes can be harder than imagined. Let the Seltos help you out with Lane Keep Assist, which is a standard option, providing you with a warning if you veer into a different lane. It’ll even guide you back if you take no action to promote a safer commute.
