The Kia Seltos is a small SUV aimed at Australian buyers who want city-friendly dimensions with the practicality and stance of a higher-riding wagon. A new second-generation Seltos is due in Australian showrooms in October 2027, moving to a hybrid-only lineup priced from $39,990 drive-away. Six variants are confirmed, spanning four main trim levels, giving shoppers a broad choice within the range. Its hybrid focus gives the Seltos a more efficiency-minded character than the outgoing petrol range, suiting commuters, small families and downsizers wanting one compact SUV for weekday traffic, school runs and weekend use. Positioned below the larger Sportage, the Seltos remains Kia’s mainstream small SUV option for buyers seeking useful cabin space, easy parking and modern SUV appeal without stepping up in size.
