The 2026 Kia Seltos delivers a city-friendly driving experience through its compact 4,385 mm length, 1,800 mm width and 2,630 mm wheelbase, which combine for a tight turning radius ideal for congested streets and parking lots. Ground clearance of 180 mm protects against urban obstacles—speed bumps, curbs and potholes—while maintaining a low centre of gravity that enhances cornering stability.
Under the bonnet, a responsive powertrain features Eco and Normal drive modes for tailored throttle response during stop-and-go traffic, plus an available 1.6 L Turbo-GDI on SX trim for brisk acceleration when merging. Idle Stop & Go reduces fuel use at lights, and aerodynamic design, lightweight construction and a 10.25″ touchscreen with real-time Kia Connect updates streamline navigation through city congestion. Comfort features—heated seats, steering-wheel heater and automatic climate control—keep occupants relaxed during rush-hour delays, and advanced safety tech such as Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist guard against urban hazards.
- Measure your typical parking spaces and test the Seltos’s turning radius in a tight lot.
- Select Eco or Normal drive mode to compare fuel economy versus responsiveness in urban traffic.
- Engage Idle Stop & Go during a commute to feel the system shut off the engine at extended stops.
- Navigate with the 10.25″ multimedia interface and Kia Connect traffic updates to avoid city jams.
- Assess comfort features—heated seats, steering-wheel heater and automatic climate control—during extended idling.
By combining a nimble footprint with efficient drive modes and urban-focused technology, the Seltos ensures lower fuel costs, simplified parking and confident handling in the stop-start rhythm of city life.
