2026 Kia Seltos Trim Levels
The 2026 Kia Seltos brings compact-SUV versatility with modern styling, practical power, and a roomy interior — qualities that suit Mid-Michigan driving, from city commutes around Bay City to snowy winter Central Michigan roads. With available all-wheel drive (AWD), two engine options, and a pack of tech and comfort features, the Seltos aims to deliver big SUV capability in a smaller footprint.
