The Kia Seltos has taken the subcompact crossover SUV segment by storm since its release in the 2021 model year. The Seltos had a record breaking sales year globally in 2023 thanks to its sporty design, modern technology and favorable price point. If you are in the market for a new Kia Seltos, you’ll need some more information on the various trim levels available on the vehicle. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the 2024 Kia Seltos trim levels.
Kia Seltos Trim Levels
LX
Starting off with the base LX, this trim is anything but barebones. Equipped with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine, which is more than adequate for day-to-day driving, it offers an enjoyable and efficient 146 horsepower ride. You’ll find the LX presents a bundle of standard features that includes an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, a suite of safety features, air conditioning, and much more. You’ll also get the all-wheel drive drivetrain with torque vectoring & center lock.
S
Progressing to the S trim, you gain access to additional convenience features such as roof rails for your outdoor gear and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. The Seltos S is still powered by the 2.0-liter engine and also allows for all-wheel-drive variants. On the interior, you’ll get SynTex and Cloth Seat Trim, Heated Front Seats and the 10.25-inch dual panoramic displays. It’s an excellent choice for those who appreciate the comforts and safety features but may not require the full suite of high-tech advancements or premium finishes.
EX
The step-up EX trim offers the same 2.0L engine and available all-wheel drive system. You’ll get more premium fixtures like LED headlights and taillights, solar control glass and SynTex seat trim. It also adds refinement to the mix with features that include a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a sunroof, heated front seats, and push-button start. Safety also gets a bump up with additional driver-assist technologies making your driving experience that much more secure and enjoyable. Some advanced safety features on the EX trim include Auto Emergency Braking Technology with Cyclist Detection, Rear Occupant Alert and Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Avoidance Technology.
X-Line
Kia Seltos enthusiasts who seek a style that nods to ruggedness will find the X-Line appealing. It builds on the EX trim with unique exterior features like a tougher front and rear bumper design, unique 18-inch alloy wheels, and roof rack rails. Drivers of the X-Line will love the 1.6L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that puts out up to 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. Inside, you’ll enjoy features like LED interior lighting and a smart welcome lighting system, which is a boon for those making frequent stops during night drives. You’ll also notice the leather-wrapped steering wheel, dual-level cargo floor and heated outside mirrors with LED turn signals.
SX
Top of the line, the SX trim is tailored for those who crave the pinnacle of luxury and performance in their compact SUV. The SX boasts exclusive D-shaped steering with integrated paddle shifters, a larger 10.25-inch touchscreen with navigation, a Bose premium audio system, a sound-connected mood lamp, and a wireless phone charger, among other exciting upgrades. The 1.6L turbo engine ensures a spirited drive, while upgraded interior materials and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission lend a sophisticated feel. Other premium features include available ventilated front seats, navigation-based cruise control and a smart-power tailgate.
