The 2025 Kia Seltos is a petrol SUV with FWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SP2i LCI generation. The X-Line 2.0L is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured X-Line 2.0L version develops 147 hp and 179 Nm (132 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 10.2 seconds, which is measured, with performance geared more toward normal driving than acceleration. Top speed is listed at 185 km/h (115 mph). Its power output is about 46% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 41% slower than the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 7.8 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 50.0 litres (13.2 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 178 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,370 mm (172.0 in) in length, 1,800 mm (70.9 in) in width, and 1,630 mm (64.2 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,630 mm (103.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 442 litres (15.6 cu ft), expanding to 1,393 litres (49.2 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,413 kg (3,115 lb). That cargo volume is about 22% below the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of X-Line 2.0L and Turbo SX. Across the range, the specifications span 147 hp to 195 hp and 8.0 s to 10.2 s, while listed starting prices run from $24,990-$30,590. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol SUV models from the same period, the 2025 Kia Seltos is strongest on price, while power and acceleration stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
