Picking a trim level should be simple, but the 2027 Kia Seltos makes a case for taking your time. The redesigned lineup now rides on a longer, wider platform, bringing more passenger space and cargo room to the table, along with a stronger baseline of standard technology. Every trim starts with heated front seats, a 12.3-inch multimedia display, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a full suite of driver-assistance features. From that shared foundation, the range branches into three distinct directions: everyday practicality, added comfort, and stronger turbocharged performance.
The LX FWD is the straightforward entry point. It uses a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, paired with an IVT. Standard equipment is surprisingly generous, especially on the safety side, with Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist, Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assist, Safe Exit Assist, and eight airbags. If your driving is mostly urban and you do not need all-wheel drive, this trim covers the essentials without feeling stripped down.
For drivers who want more traction without moving deep into the lineup, the LX AWD makes a lot of sense. It keeps the same 2.0-litre engine but adds all-wheel drive with a locking differential, along with roof rails and a temporary spare tire. That extra traction can be particularly useful through Ontario winters, while the rest of the cabin and safety package remains familiar. It is a practical step up rather than a luxury upgrade.
The EX AWD is where the 2027 Kia Seltos trim levels start feeling noticeably more upscale. You still get the 147-horsepower engine and AWD, but the equipment list grows with 18-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof, Sofino leather seating, a heated steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, and wireless phone charging. This is likely to be a comfortable middle ground for buyers who want a nicer cabin without paying for the most advanced features in the lineup.
The EX Premium AWD is aimed at drivers who want more convenience without switching to the turbo engine. It adds Highway Driving Assist, built-in navigation, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, driver-seat memory, ambient lighting, a power smart liftgate, and a relaxation function for the driver’s seat. It keeps the smoother, more efficiency-focused 2.0-litre powertrain but brings the interior much closer to what you would expect from a higher-end compact SUV.
The X-Line AWD changes the character of the Seltos. It swaps in a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine producing 190 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The exterior gets a more assertive X-Line treatment with black 19-inch wheels, darker trim, and unique styling details. Inside, the digital cockpit combines a 12.3-inch supervision cluster with an integrated 12.3-inch display and 5-inch climate interface, creating nearly 30 inches of combined screen space. This is the trim for buyers who want the Seltos to feel quicker and more distinctive.
At the top of the range, the X-Line Limited AWD combines the turbocharged powertrain with Kia’s most advanced comfort and driver-assistance equipment. It adds Highway Driving Assist 2, Surround View Monitor, Blind-Spot View Monitor, Digital Key 2.0, a Head-Up Display, Harman Kardon premium audio, rain-sensing wipers, and front Relaxation Seats. It is the most complete version of the 2027 Kia Seltos and the one that makes the strongest case for buyers who want compact-SUV size without giving up premium tech.
Trim charts help, but they can't tell you how a heated seat feels in December or how the tech screen responds under your thumb. That's what our lot is for. Bring your list of must-haves to Guelph Kia and we'll match it to a Seltos trim in minutes, not hours.
