The 2026 Kia Seltos arrives with bold design, smart features, and options for every kind of driver. Whether you're cruising city streets or exploring the open road, the Seltos lineup offers flexibility, comfort, and value across six trim levels. From the budget-friendly LX FWD to the adventure-ready X-Line, each version offers something unique. In this breakdown, we'll explore each trim's standout features, pricing, and why it might be the right choice for you.
Starting at $28,580*, the LX FWD trim is the most accessible way to step into the 2026 Seltos family. With a 2.0-litre MPI four-cylinder engine and Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), it provides a smooth and efficient driving experience. It's ideal for drivers who want a reliable daily commuter without extra frills. Inside, you'll find an 8.0-inch display with smartphone integration, air conditioning, and standard safety features like Lane Keeping Assist.
For city dwellers or first-time SUV buyers, the LX FWD makes a smart, no-nonsense choice.
Priced from $30,580*, the LX AWD trim adds All-Wheel Drive for more control in Canadian weather. It’s the same basic package as the LX FWD but adds peace of mind for winter driving or weekend getaways. With Heated front seats, Steering wheel-mounted audio controls, and AWD, you can take on snowy roads or gravel trails with more confidence. This trim is ideal for those wanting value without sacrificing traction.
Jumping to $33,580*, the EX trim brings upgrades that make every drive more comfortable. USB Charging Port, Automatic climate control, LED Rear Taillights, Sunroof and wireless phone charging are just the beginning. The cabin feels more refined, with a leather-wrapped steering wheel and automatic climate control.
The EX trim also adds more driver-assistance features like Hidden-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert. If you're looking for a sweet spot between value and comfort, this is it.
At $36,880*, the EX Premium builds on the EX’s features and adds a little more luxury. You’ll get a 10.25-inch, power-adjustable driver's seat and a premium sound system. Outside, LED lights and upgraded 17-inch alloy wheels give it a more upscale look.
This trim is for drivers who want near-luxury comfort while still sticking to a reasonable budget. It’s one of the most balanced trims in the lineup, practical, stylish, and fully loaded.
Priced from $39,880*, the SX-Line introduces a sportier style and more power under the hood. This is the first trim to feature the 1.6-litre GDI four-cylinder turbocharged engine with 195 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The drive feels more responsive, and the added horsepower is noticeable.
Inside, you get more tech, including advanced navigation, Bose® premium audio, and enhanced digital displays. Outside, sportier accents and larger wheels complete the look.
If you want performance with all the tech and comfort, the SX-Line delivers.
The top-tier X-Line trim starts at $42,480* and is all about bold styling and rugged attitude. It includes everything from the SX-Line but adds unique X-Line design details like black roof rails, distinctive 18-inch wheels, and body cladding. This trim also gets extra ground clearance up to 7.8 inches and a more aggressive stance.
It’s perfect for adventurous drivers who want to stand out while still enjoying all the power and features Kia offers in the Seltos.
