The 2025 Kia Seltos is a petrol SUV with AWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the SP2i LCI generation. The Turbo SX is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured Turbo SX version develops 195 hp and 265 Nm (195 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 8.0 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 195 km/h (121 mph). Its power output is about 29% below the peer average. Its 0-100 km/h time is about 10% 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 8.1 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 50.0 litres (13.2 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 185 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 4,365 mm (171.9 in) in length, 1,800 mm (70.9 in) in width, and 1,635 mm (64.4 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,630 mm (103.5 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 463 litres (16.4 cu ft), expanding to 1,228 litres (43.4 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,428 kg (3,148 lb). The recorded braked towing capacity is 907 kg (2,000 lb). That cargo volume is about 19% 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 towing capacity and power 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.
