The second-generation 2027 Seltos Hybrid isn’t just a redesign—it’s a category shift. Featuring a 2.4-inch longer wheelbase and Kia’s first e-AWD hybrid powertrain, it delivers Telluride-inspired styling with target 40+ MPG efficiency.
Unveiled at the 2026 New York Auto Show, the 2027 Seltos marks the debut of the Seltos Hybrid. Unlike traditional AWD systems, the Seltos Hybrid utilizes an electronic All-Wheel Drive (e-AWD) system with a rear-mounted electric motor for instant torque and improved traction in Central Florida’s wet weather—all while maintaining class-leading fuel economy.
Gasoline 2027 Seltos models arrive in Summer 2026. The 2027 Seltos Hybrid is scheduled for an October 2026 release at Greenway Kia.
Kia is targeting a combined 40+ MPG for the hybrid variant, significantly outpacing the 1.6T gas-only engine’s efficiency.
The 2027 Seltos offers 27.8 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 64.1 cubic feet with rear seats folded—the best in its class.
