Which 2027 Kia Seltos Trim Is Right for You?

LX FWD suits the budget-focused buyer who still wants the full ADAS suite and dual 12.3-inch screens. At $28,495 MSRP ($31,858 All-In), it is the most accessible entry point in the lineup. FWD works well for primarily urban and highway use.

LX AWD at $30,495 MSRP ($33,858 All-In) is the move if you want all-wheel drive capability without upgrading your trim grade. It keeps the 2.0L and IVT pairing with the added traction confidence that Manitoba roads can call for.

EX AWD at $33,495 MSRP ($36,858 All-In) steps up feature content over the LX and moves to 18-inch wheels. It is a strong middle-ground pick for buyers who want added refinement while staying on the 2.0L powertrain.

EX Premium AWD at $36,795 MSRP ($40,158 All-In) is the most feature-rich version of the naturally aspirated lineup. If you want everything the 2.0L tier offers before crossing into turbocharged territory, this is the trim to consider.

X-Line AWD at $39,295 MSRP ($42,658 All-In) introduces the 190 hp turbocharged engine, 8-speed automatic, 19-inch wheels, and the exclusive SynTex interior with mesh headrests and four-way lumbar. It suits drivers who want more responsive power and a sportier look.

X-Line Limited AWD at $41,295 MSRP ($44,658 All-In) brings the full X-Line experience plus front Relaxation Seats, making it the flagship of the gas-powered lineup.

Hybrid is worth waiting for if efficiency is your top priority. Coming to Manitoba dealerships later this year, it will offer the 1.6L hybrid engine with either FWD or available e-AWD. Pricing details are forthcoming from Kia Canada.
