As you can see, the 2021 Seltos offers a horsepower output of 146 or 175 depending on the powertrain you choose.
The standard 2.0L I-4 engine comes paired with an efficient and performance-optimizing Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT). The IVT works similarly to a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), providing precise shifts by doing away with the set gears of an automatic transmission.
The turbocharged 1.6L engine, on the other hand, comes with a 7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. This kind of transmission pairs two manual transmissions with automatic capability, so you’ll have that manual feel and precision without having to do the work of shifting yourself.
Of course, you can always use the Drive Mode Select system to switch into the limited Manual mode if you want to feel more in control of your drive.
While you’re sitting behind the wheel enjoying the hum of the powertrain, you’ll have plenty of technologies right at your fingertips. If you want to listen to some music from your smartphone, connect it to your Seltos via Bluetooth®, Apple CarPlay®, or Android Auto™. All three connectivity features come standard and can also help you make hands-free phone calls while on the go.
Your music, contacts, and available navigation are all accessible via the standard 8-inch touch screen display or the available 10.25-inch touch screen.
You’ll also be well protected thanks to the many available smart safety technologies, like:
A Safe Exit Assist system is available, too. This helps you safely exit your Kia vehicle while parallel parked by locking the doors if there’s oncoming traffic. If the doors are already open, this system will issue an alert to look out for other drivers.
