The South Korean manufacturer offers this new model in three different options: Cool, Elegance, and X-Line. The technical details and pricing of the car have been clarified for those who are curious.

New Kia Seltos Technical Specifications and Performance

The new Kia Seltos successfully meets segment standards with its length of 4,430 mm and width of 1,830 mm. Offering a wheelbase of 2,690 mm, the vehicle also provides an advantage in challenging road conditions with its 160 mm ground clearance.

At the heart of the vehicle is a 1.6-liter TGDI turbo gasoline engine that transmits its power to the front wheels. This engine produces 180 horsepower and 265 Nm of torque, delivering a very assertive driving performance.

On the transmission side, a 7-speed DCT automatic transmission is preferred. Thanks to this combination, the new Kia Seltos accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 208 km/h.
