The 2026 Kia Seltos S is a five-seat petrol SUV designed for budget-conscious Australian families seeking practicality without premium pricing. With the impressive seven-year warranty providing genuine peace of mind, combined with reasonable fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km and modest annual running costs, it delivers solid value. One thing to consider: the 110kW 2.0-litre engine is modest by segment standards, so you'll want to test-drive to confirm the acceleration suits your driving style, though the 312-litre boot and 1500kg towing capacity handle everyday family duties competently.
Configure the SThe 2026 Kia Seltos Sport is a compact petrol SUV designed for budget-conscious Australian families wanting practical everyday transport with genuine safety credentials and a 7-year warranty. The standout strength is its genuine value proposition: a 2-litre petrol engine delivering 110kW with respectable fuel economy of 6.9L/100km, combined with a spacious 312-litre boot and 1500kg towing capacity that punches above its weight class. One thing to consider is that the naturally aspirated 2-litre engine means it won't feel particularly quick when fully loaded or on steep grades, so acceleration isn't its forte despite decent torque figures of 180Nm.
Configure the SportThe 2026 Kia Seltos Sport+ is a compact petrol SUV ideal for Australian families seeking affordable everyday transport, offering five seats, 312 litres of boot space, and genuine 1500kg towing capacity for weekend getaways. Its standout strength is safety, with Kia's comprehensive 7-year warranty providing peace of mind that's rare in this segment. The main consideration is the 2.0-litre engine's modest 110kW output, which means it won't feel spirited in heavy traffic, though the 6.9L/100km fuel efficiency helps offset the estimated $2874 annual running costs.
Configure the Sport+The 2026 Kia Seltos GT-Line AWD is a compact SUV built for Australian families and active buyers who want all-wheel drive capability without sacrificing fuel economy, seating five with a 312-litre boot and 1500kg towing capacity. Its standout strength is the combination of a frugal 1.6-litre petrol engine (146kW/265Nm) that returns 7.4L/100km paired with genuine AWD traction, backed by a seven-year warranty. The main consideration is that running costs around $3031 annually and the modest 146kW power output mean this prioritises efficiency and practicality over performance, so it's better suited to buyers valuing real-world economy and dependability than driving excitement.
Configure the GT-Line AWDThe MY22 Kia Seltos Sport+ in 2.0-litre front-drive form adds the safety hardware buyers actually shop for: blind spot collision avoidance with lane change assist, rear cross-traffic collision avoidance, cyclist-capable AEB, advanced smart cruise control and front parking sensors. It also gains a smart key with push-button and remote start, an auto-dimming mirror, privacy glass and a larger 284 mm rear disc. Kia Australia quotes 6.8 L/100km combined, 157 g/km and a 1,355 kg tare weight.
Configure the Sport+ 2.0 FWDThe MY22 Kia Seltos Sport keeps the 2.0-litre CVT front-drive powertrain but moves to 17-inch alloys, a full-size alloy spare, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with SUNA live traffic navigation and DAB digital radio. Kia Australia quotes 6.8 L/100km combined, 157 g/km, a 1,355 kg tare weight and 1,100 kg braked towing. Projector fog lights, electric folding mirrors, three-stage climate control and solar glass separate it from the S.
Configure the SportChoosing the 1.6 turbo for the MY22 Kia Seltos Sport+ swaps the CVT and front drive for a seven-speed dual-clutch and part-time all-wheel drive with a lock mode, and brings multi-link rear suspension and 305 mm front discs in place of the torsion beam and 280 mm discs. Output rises to 130 kW and 265 Nm, tare weight to 1,470 kg and braked towing to 1,250 kg, with Kia Australia quoting 7.6 L/100km combined and 175 g/km on ADR 81/02.

Configure the GT-LineThe MY20 Kia Seltos S is the launch-year entry grade: 2.0-litre multi-point-injection four, CVT, front-wheel drive, 16-inch steel wheels and a temporary spare that buys it the range's biggest boot at 498 litres. Kia Motors Australia quotes 6.8 L/100km combined and 157 g/km on ADR 81/02, a 1,355 kg tare weight and 1,100 kg braked towing. Even at this level it carries AEB with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, driver attention alert, an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines.
Configure the SThe MY20 Kia Seltos Sport steps up to 17-inch alloys with a full-size alloy spare, a 10.25-inch touchscreen with SUNA live-traffic satellite navigation and Mapcare, DAB digital radio, projector fog lights, electric folding mirrors, solar glass and three-stage climate control. The powertrain is unchanged from the S: 2.0-litre MPI, CVT, front-wheel drive, 6.8 L/100km combined and 157 g/km, 1,355 kg tare and 1,100 kg braked towing.
Configure the SportSpecifying the 1.6-litre turbo on the MY20 Kia Seltos Sport+ brings a seven-speed dual-clutch, part-time all-wheel drive with a lock mode, multi-link rear suspension and 305 mm front discs. Output is 130 kW and 265 Nm from 1,500 rpm, tare weight rises to 1,470 kg and braked towing to 1,250 kg. Kia Motors Australia quotes 7.6 L/100km combined and 175 g/km on ADR 81/02.

It also gains a smart key with push-button and remote start, an auto-dimming mirror, privacy glass, cloth and artificial leather trim and the larger 284 mm rear disc.

Kia Australia quotes 6.8 L/100km combined and 157 g/km on ADR 81/02, a 1,355 kg tare weight and 1,100 kg braked towing.

Configure the SThe MY20 Kia Seltos GT-Line tops the launch range with LED headlights, positioning lamps, tail lights and fog lights, a tilt-and-slide sunroof, a colour head-up display with digital speedometer, sound mood lighting, an eight-speaker BOSE system, wireless Qi charging and heated and ventilated front seats.
