2026 Blue Kia Seltos
The Kia Seltos comes equipped with technology that enhances the family driving experience. The cabin design focuses on keeping parents in control while ensuring entertainment and comfort for everyone on board.
The available 10.25-inch TFT LCD supervision cluster provides critical driving information at a glance. It allows parents to stay informed without taking their eyes off the road, essential when precious cargo is on board.
For added safety and convenience during family trips, the available heads-up display (HUD) projects key driving information onto a secondary screen above the steering wheel, helping parents focus on the road ahead rather than looking down at instruments.
Family entertainment and navigation are handled by the available 10.25-inch multimedia interface with integrated touchscreen navigation. This system makes it easy to find family-friendly destinations or entertain the little ones on longer journeys.
The innovative Digital Key 2 Touch feature transforms your smartphone into your car key—perfect for busy parents who have their hands full with children, strollers, and sports equipment. It also allows you to share a secure digital key with family members or caregivers who may need to drive the children occasionally.
For family sing-alongs or keeping the peace with everyone’s favourite tunes, the available Bose premium audio system delivers crystal clear sound that will delight music lovers of all ages in your family.
Step inside the Kia Seltos and discover a roomy, comfortable interior designed with families in mind. Standard heated front seats across all trim levels ensure parents stay comfortable during Canada’s cold winter school runs and hockey practices.
Available automatic climate control maintains the perfect temperature for everyone, preventing those “I’m too hot” or “I’m too cold” complaints from the back seat. The premium trims feature easy-to-clean Sofino leather seating that meets family life's demands while maintaining a sophisticated look.
Higher trim levels include heated rear seats—perfect for keeping grandparents or older children comfortable on winter drives—and air-cooled front seats that parents will appreciate during hot summer road trips. The X-Line and SX trims choose between practical Sofino Black leather or the distinctive Sofino Gentle Brown leather that disguises those inevitable minor spills and stains that come with family life.
Additional family-friendly interior features include a heated steering wheel for early morning sports practice drives, a sliding centre armrest, rear centre armrest with cupholders for kids’ drinks, and adjustable rear seat headrests that accommodate growing children of all heights.
Nothing matters more than keeping your family safe, and the Kia Seltos comes with advanced safety features that provide peace of mind on every journey.
The standard forward collision avoidance assist can detect potential front collisions and automatically apply brakes if necessary—invaluable when you’re distracted by little voices from the back seat.
Blind-spot collision-avoidance assist uses radar technology to detect vehicles you might miss while checking if everyone has their seatbelts fastened, applying braking power when necessary to avoid potential collisions.
Lane follow assist helps keep your vehicle centred in the lane, reducing the stress of long family road trips and enhancing overall safety for everyone on board.
The available rear cross-traffic avoidance assist is particularly valuable for families, detecting approaching vehicles when backing out of busy parking lots after shopping trips or school pickups.
Additional family-focused safety features include Rear Occupant Alert—which helps prevent accidentally leaving children or pets in the vehicle—and Safe Exit Assist, which can prevent doors from opening when approaching traffic is detected, keeping children safe when exiting the vehicle.
Family life demands versatility, and the Kia Seltos delivers flexible space that adapts to your family’s changing needs. With rear seats folded, the Seltos provides up to 1,778 litres (62.8 cubic feet) of cargo space—perfect for those big shopping trips or transporting sports equipment. Even with the rear seats occupied by the kids, you still enjoy 752 litres (26.5 cubic feet) of cargo space for strollers, groceries, and all the gear that comes with family life.
The available power liftgate opens automatically when you stand near the vehicle with your Smart Key for three seconds—a feature parents will appreciate when approaching the vehicle with arms full of groceries and children in tow. The dual-level cargo floor adapts to different family needs, whether you’re packing for a weekend camping trip or storing sports equipment safely out of sight.
Integrated roof rails make it easy to add a roof box for additional storage on family vacations or to transport larger items like bicycles and canoes for outdoor family adventures.
The Kia Seltos offers two engine options that balance performance with the fuel efficiency that family budgets appreciate. The LX and EX trims feature a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque—plenty of power for daily family commutes, school runs, and weekend activities.
For families who need more power for hill climbs with a full load or merging confidently onto highways, the SX and X-Line trims come with a 1.6L turbocharged engine generating 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission for smooth acceleration.
Both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options are available, with the latter providing added confidence during Canadian winters when precious family cargo is on board. The all-wheel drive system includes a locking differential for enhanced traction in challenging conditions—perfect for reaching the ski hill or navigating snowy cottage roads.
Fuel economy remains family-budget friendly across all models. Front-wheel drive versions achieve 8.3 L/100 km city, 6.8 L/100 km highway, and 7.6 L/100 km combined—ideal for daily family commuting. All-wheel drive models with the 2.0L engine deliver 8.8 L/100 km city, 7.5 L/100 km highway, and 8.2 L/100 km combined. Even the more powerful turbocharged models maintain reasonable efficiency at 9.7 L/100 km city, 8.6 L/100 km highway, and 9.2 L/100 km combined.
All Seltos models run on regular unleaded fuel, avoiding the premium fuel costs often associated with turbocharged engines—another family-friendly feature that helps manage the household budget.
The Seltos presents a stylish exterior that parents will appreciate and kids will be proud to be seen in. Even the base LX trim looks sophisticated with 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, a rear spoiler, and privacy glass that helps keep the sun off little ones in the back seat.
Moving up to the EX AWD adds eye-catching LED lighting elements, a power sunroof that brings light and air into the cabin (always a hit with kids), and stylish chrome accents. The EX Premium enhances the look with machine-finished 17-inch alloy wheels.
For families who want a sportier look, the SX trim offers 18-inch alloy wheels and rain-sensing wipers that automatically activate when the first drops fall—a handy feature when you’re trying to navigate and manage back-seat passengers simultaneously.
The X-Line trim stands out with unique styling elements, including glossy black wheels and distinctive accents that give it a more adventurous appearance, perfect for families with an active outdoor lifestyle.
With eight available colours including Snow White Pearl, Steel Grey, Gravity Grey, Fusion Black, Neptune Blue, Lunar Orange, Dark Ocean Blue, and Pluton Blue, there’s a Seltos to match every family’s personality.
The Seltos offers a range of trim levels to meet different family requirements and budgets:
The Kia Seltos comes with the Kia comprehensive warranty program that gives families long-term peace of mind. This includes a 5-year/100,000 km worry-free comprehensive warranty, a 5-year/100,000 km limited powertrain warranty, and 5-year/unlimited km 24-hour roadside assistance—invaluable coverage when travelling with children.
The Kia Seltos proves that family-friendly doesn’t mean boring or basic. With its stylish design, innovative technology, comprehensive safety features, versatile space, and efficient performance, the Seltos adapts to your family’s changing needs while keeping everyone safe, comfortable, and connected.
From daily school runs to weekend adventures and summer road trips, the Seltos provides the reliability, versatility, and peace of mind that Canadian families need. With a range of trim levels to suit different family priorities and budgets, and backed by the comprehensive Kia warranty, the Seltos stands ready to become a trusted member of your family for years to come.
