The 2027 Kia Seltos Hybrid range arrives at Australian dealerships this week with six variants: S, S with Safety Pack, Sport, Sport+, GT-Line FWD and GT-Line e-AWD. The base model starts at $39,990 drive-away and includes 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a three-screen panoramic display (12.3 plus 5.0 plus 12.3 inches) with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Kia Connect services with over-the-air updates, dual-zone climate control, and a reversing camera with front and rear sensors.
A $2,500 Safety Pack is available for the base model, adding a surround-view camera system, blind spot view monitor cameras, remote smart parking assist, and side parking sensors. Front-wheel drive versions use a 1.6-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder hybrid system producing 113kW and 265Nm. The e-AWD GT-Line model adds an electric motor on the rear axle, boosting combined system power to around 133kW.
Kia states that the Seltos is the first model from the Hyundai Motor Group to use the new electrified AWD system. Kia Australia has tuned the suspension and steering for local preferences, with adjustments to damper and spring rates designed to provide 'a more responsive, firmly damped' feel with reduced body roll.
