The 2027 Kia Seltos Looks Like a Tiny-Tough Telluride

Kia will sell the Seltos around the world, and three engines will be offered depending on the market. There are standard- and high-output versions of a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four, as well as a 2.0-liter gas engine. The turbo powertrains make either 177 horsepower (standard) or 190 horsepower (high-output), and both offer 195 lb-ft of torque. The base 2.0-liter engine offers a much more modest 147 hp and 132 lb-ft of torque.

Those engines pair with multiple different transmissions, including a six-speed manual, a six-speed dual-clutch automatic, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, a continuously variable gearbox and an eight-speed automatic. Don’t count on seeing the manual in the U.S., that’ll likely be for entry-level models in markets like India, Asia and South America.
