Kia to bring hybrid-only Seltos to UK
It will be Kia's first model to receive e-AWD and its first hybrid to receive vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology.
Kia has announced that it will bring the Seltos C-segment SUV to the UK, exclusively as a hybrid, as the model enters the European market.
It will be Kia’s first model to receive e-AWD and its first hybrid to receive vehicle-to-load (V2L) technology.
Full specifications and pricing will be announced in Q3 2026, ahead of its launch in Q4.
The Seltos, which has just entered its second generation, is slightly smaller than the Kia Sportage.
Kia said the Seltos is positioned as a non-electric equivalent to the EV3, as part of its ambition to offer customers greater powertrain choice.
Two variants of the hybrid will be offered: a front wheel drive model with 154PS and the all wheel drive model, which adds a rear-mounted motor for 178PS.
Both use a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine.
Available equipment includes a panoramic sunroof, 64-colour mood lighting, a Harman Kardon sound system, Kia Digital Key 2.0 and a head-up display.
