Technology should make your life easier. The 2025 Kia Seltos puts smart features in your hands without making you learn complicated systems.
Summer driving needs simple tech that works. Cool your car before you get in. Find the best route to the cottage. Keep everyone's phone charged during long trips.
Use Your Phone as Your Car Key
Digital Key 2 Touch turns your smartphone into your car key. Download the app and unlock your Seltos with your phone. Start the engine without digging through your bag for keys.
Send digital keys to family members. Your teenager can unlock the car for soccer practice. Your spouse can start the engine at the grocery store. Set time limits on these keys. Remove access anytime through your phone.
This works through NFC technology. Hold your phone near the door handle to unlock. Press the start button with your phone nearby to drive away.
Cool Down Before You Get In
Remote start through your smartphone app starts the air conditioning while you're still inside. Walk out to a cool car instead of burning your hands on the steering wheel.
The system activates the AC automatically on hot days. It turns on the heater during winter mornings. Your Seltos knows what temperature you need based on outside conditions.
Set your preferred cabin temperature once. The automatic climate control maintains this temperature without you touching any buttons. The system adjusts fan speed and air direction based on how hot or cold it gets outside.
Navigate Summer Traffic Better
The 10.25-inch touchscreen shows you the fastest route to your destination. Traffic updates happen in real time. The system suggests different routes around construction zones.
Voice commands let you change destinations without taking your hands off the wheel. Say "Navigate to Tim Hortons" and the system finds the closest location. Tell it "Avoid highways" and it takes back roads instead.
Save your frequent stops in the system. The cottage. Your favourite beach. The kids' summer camp. One touch gets you directions to these places.
Keep All Devices Charged
Wireless charging keeps your phone powered without cables. Place your phone on the charging pad and it starts charging automatically. No need to find the right cable or deal with tangled wires.
Two USB ports in the back seat charge passengers' devices. Kids can keep tablets and games running during long drives. Adults can charge cameras and portable speakers for beach days.
The system detects what type of device you plug in. It delivers the right amount of power to charge phones, tablets, and other electronics safely.
Connect Your Apps Wirelessly
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto work without plugging in your phone. The system connects automatically when you start the car. Your music picks up where you left off.
Use your favourite navigation apps through the car's screen. Google Maps, Apple Maps, and Waze all work through the system. The larger screen makes it easier to see directions and traffic information.
Make hands-free calls through the car's speakers. Send text messages using voice commands. Listen to podcasts, music, and audiobooks through the car's sound system.
Audio That Adjusts to Your Music
The available Bose sound system has 8 speakers placed throughout the cabin. Bass speakers in the doors handle deep sounds. Tweeters in the dash deliver clear highs. The result is music that sounds like a concert hall.
Adjust the equalizer to match your music type. Boost bass for hip-hop and electronic music. Balance mid-range sounds for rock and pop. Enhance treble for classical and jazz.
Sound positioning lets you focus audio where you want it. Center the sound for solo drives. Balance it for family trips where everyone wants to hear clearly.
See Important Information Without Looking Down
The heads-up display puts key information on a small screen above the steering wheel. Speed limits, navigation directions, and safety alerts appear in your line of sight.
You don't need to look down at the dashboard to check your speed. Turn-by-turn directions appear right where you're already looking. Safety warnings show up immediately without distraction.
Adjust the display brightness for different lighting conditions. Make it brighter for sunny days. Dim it for night driving. Change what information appears based on what you need to see.
Your Summer Drives Get Easier
These tech features work together to make summer driving better. Start your car and cool it down from inside the cottage. Navigate to new beaches without getting lost. Keep everyone's devices charged during long trips.
The technology doesn't get in your way. It runs quietly in the background until you need it. Voice commands work clearly. Touch screens respond quickly. Everything connects without complicated setup steps.
