The 2026 Kia Seltos delivers exceptional year-round comfort with thoughtfully designed climate features including:

The convenient 60/40 split-folding rear seat allows you to quickly expand cargo space for hockey equipment heading to the Scotiabank Saddledome, ski and snowboard gear destined for Banff and Kananaskis, or Chinook Centre shopping hauls. With 752 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats and even more with seats folded, the Seltos proves that a compact SUV can absolutely handle the demands of Calgary living—from weekday commuting essentials to weekend mountain adventure gear.
Capable Performance for Calgary Streets & Mountain Highways
Turbocharged Power for Mountain Highway Confidence
The 2026 Kia Seltos offers Calgary drivers a choice of two responsive powertrains perfectly suited for the diverse driving conditions between city streets and mountain highways. The standard 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine delivers a confident 147 horsepower for efficient daily commuting on Deerfoot Trail and Crowchild Trail. For drivers who crave more spirited performance—especially for mountain highway driving toward Banff and Kananaskis—the available 1.6-litre turbocharged engine unleashes an exhilarating 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, providing thrilling acceleration for highway merging and confident passing power on mountain roads.
Available AWD for Calgary’s Winter Conditions
Calgary winters demand confident traction, and the 2026 Kia Seltos delivers with available Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) paired with all-wheel drive. This sophisticated AWD system continuously monitors driving conditions and intelligently distributes power between front and rear wheels to maintain optimal traction on icy Deerfoot Trail mornings, snowy Stoney Trail commutes, or slippery mountain roads heading to the Rockies. Multiple drive modes—Normal, Eco, Sport, Snow, and Mud—allow you to instantly customize the Seltos’s performance characteristics for whatever Calgary’s Chinook-influenced weather throws your way. Whether navigating an unexpected November snowstorm or enjoying the dry grip of a mid-winter Chinook, the Seltos adapts seamlessly to keep you confidently moving forward.
