If you’re after a compact SUV that’s practical and fun to drive, the 2025 Kia Seltos should be at the top of your list. This family-friendly vehicle is available in five trim levels, helping drivers tailor it to their lifestyle.
Trim Levels of the 2025 Kia Seltos
1. LX
The LX has a 146-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and boasts the same good looks as the rest of the lineup, with model-specific features including dark gray 17-inch alloy wheels and automatic projector headlights. Inside, woven cloth lines the upholstery, including the six-way adjustable driver’s seat. An eight-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone compatibility acts as the infotainment hub.
Drivers view vehicle data on a 4.2-inch instrument display. Kia equips the LX with an excellent collection of safety technologies, including a rearview camera, downhill brake control, and forward collision avoidance.
2. S
For more creature comforts, the S is a great choice. The exterior mirrors are now heated, power-adjustable, and feature integrated turn signals. Roof rails give you options for carrying extra cargo, and a smart key lets you remotely open the doors and liftgate.
The upgrades continue inside with SynTex and cloth seating surfaces and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Automatic climate control regulates the temperature, and the larger 10.25-inch infotainment display gains a built-in navigation system. Drivers receive additional assistance from blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and a safe exit warning.
3. EX
Building on the S, the EX elevates the comfort levels inside the vehicle. Leatherette now lines the seats, including the driver’s heated and 10-way adjustable power seat, which also features a two-way power lumbar. Solar-controlled glass helps the cabin stay cool during the summer months. A tech upgrade introduces a larger 10.25-inch instrument panel, a wireless smartphone charger, and rear parking sensors.
4. X-Line
The X-Line is a more capable Seltos, thanks to the 195 horsepower kicked out by the upgraded 1.6-liter turbocharged engine. To match the increased power, Kia gives this trim a sportier look, adding 18-inch gloss-black wheels, gunmetal skid plates, and a gunmetal grille with model-specific detailing.
5. SX
If you love the finer things in life, the SX is the Seltos to go for. LED headlights and fog lights upgrade the exterior, while a flat-bottomed steering wheel and an eight-speaker Bose premium audio system elevate the luxury inside the cabin. A smart power liftgate gives you easier trunk access, and the new cargo cover keeps everything out of sight.
Kia also equips its top trim with more assistive tech, including navigation-based cruise control, junction turning assist, and highway driving assist.
Whether your priority is budget, power, capability, or luxury, there’s a Seltos to satisfy your needs. Stop by Kia of Marin in Novato, CA, today to explore the full Seltos lineup and find your new compact SUV.
