A smarter size

Compact outside. Surprisingly complete inside.

The 2027 Seltos is sized for city streets and tight parking spaces without asking you to give up real passenger room, flexible cargo capacity or the reassuring road presence many shoppers want from an SUV.

Why the Seltos makes sense in Charlotte

At 174.4 inches long, the Seltos remains easy to place in traffic and parking lots. Its 39.0 inches of rear legroom gives adults and growing families useful second-row space, while the available all-wheel-drive system adds confidence for wet roads, mountain trips and changing weather.

For shoppers comparing compact SUVs, the Seltos stands out by combining a manageable footprint with available premium conveniences such as a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a smart power liftgate and a large 12.3-inch touchscreen.

Five trims, two distinct personalities

LX, S and EX focus on value, comfort and efficiency. X-Line S adds standard AWD and a more rugged visual identity, while X-Line SX turns up the performance with a 190-horsepower turbo engine, eight-speed automatic transmission and 19-inch wheels.

Performance choices

Efficient for the week. Energetic when you want more.

Choose the everyday efficiency of the 2.0-liter engine or the stronger acceleration of the turbocharged X-Line SX. Both powertrains are paired with automatic transmissions suited to daily driving.
