Interior
Step inside the 2026 Kia Seltos, and you'll discover a cabin meticulously designed with the Bay Area lifestyle in mind. Your attention is immediately drawn to the futuristic dual panoramic display, offering an immersive touchscreen experience for your navigation and entertainment. Gaze up, and the available power sunroof opens to the sky, creating an expansive, airy driving sensation. To ensure your comfort is perfect year-round, available heated and ventilated front seats are ready for any Bay Area microclimate.
But the Seltos is just as practical as it is luxurious. It boasts an impressive 62.8 cubic feet of cargo space, more than enough for your Costco runs or a weekend family getaway. Better yet, the available Smart Power Liftgate can automatically open as you approach, allowing for effortless loading even when your hands are full. This is a mobile space where cutting-edge technology, passenger comfort, and incredible versatility seamlessly converge.
Technology
Elevate every drive with the immersive sound of the available Bose® audio system. Keep your cabin clutter-free with a wireless charging pad, while front and rear USB-C ports ensure all your passengers stay connected. In the Seltos, premium sound and seamless connectivity come standard.
Performance
At Serramonte Kia, we know that Bay Area drivers demand performance. The all-new 2026 Kia Seltos is engineered to ignite your driving excitement. With its available 1.6L turbocharged engine, the Seltos unleashes 190 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, making it an undisputed performance leader among compact SUVs in its class. Whether you're cruising down I-280 or need instant acceleration on city hills, it delivers agile, responsive power every time.
More importantly, its intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system features a center-locking differential that can split power 50/50 between the front and rear wheels, allowing you to confidently handle the Peninsula's sudden wet and slippery roads. This is more than just performance-it's the ultimate guarantee of confidence and driving pleasure in the Bay Area's ever-changing conditions.
Connectivity
The 2026 Kia Seltos seamlessly integrates into your connected Bay Area life, giving you an unprecedented level of control. On a chilly Daly City morning, for instance, you can use the available Remote Start with Climate Control through the Kia Access app-or simply by asking your Amazon Alexa-to set the perfect cabin temperature before you even step outside.
Your smartphone is your most powerful tool. The available Digital Key feature allows you to lock and unlock the doors, and even share virtual keys with family and friends. After a busy day at the Serramonte Shopping Center, the Find My Car feature will instantly guide you back to your vehicle. This is more than a car; it's your smart, connected partner, engineered for modern convenience.
