Meet the 2027 Kia Seltos X-Line SX—what a glow-up! No longer a forgettable entry-level ride, it’s a sharp, shrunken version of Kia’s Telluride. Stretched 1.8 inches longer (2.4-inch longer wheelbase) and slightly wider/taller, it boasts class-leading 39-inch rear legroom, more front shoulder room and extra cargo space. The suspension tune is stellar: smooth body motion, muted potholes, low interior noise, feeling like a pricier SUV. Only letdown? Carryover powertrains; our turbo 1.6L test car’s performance is a wash due to 336lbs extra weight (hybrid coming in 6 months). Would you prioritize silky ride/space over punchy power? Let me know!
