2027 Kia Seltos: The Facts and Features for Mississauga Drivers
The Kia Seltos has been one of Kia's top sellers since arriving in 2020. So, when Kia rebuilds it from the ground up, it's an attention-grabber for sure. The all-new fully redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos landed at Canadian Kia dealerships in June 2026, giving Mississauga drivers a fresh compact SUV option for city driving, commuting, and weekend travel.
The timing is perfect because the 2027 Seltos is built for our Canadian winters: all-wheel drive comes standard for all trims, except the base LX. All trims come with heated front seats as well, which adds extra peace of mind for Mississauga commuters dealing with winter mornings and changing road conditions across the GTA.
What is the Price for the 2027 Kia Seltos?
The price for the 2027 Seltos LX trim starts at $31,475 CAD. In a market where new SUVs across the board keep getting more expensive, that's a price that deserves a second look for drivers shopping for a new SUV in Mississauga. Another plus, you aren't giving up any features to get that price either: every 2027 Kia Seltos comes with a full set of standard safety features, and over 12 inches of screen.
That's a lot of SUV for the money. Some of the upgrades for the price include more driver and passenger space, over 30 litres more cargo space, and a fuller suite of driver safety features. For Mississauga drivers balancing daily commutes, errands, and family schedules, those upgrades can make everyday driving easier.
What's New: 2027 Kia Seltos
Larger body
The 2027 model is 60mm longer than its 2026 counterpart.
Brand new design
The 2027 model looks boxier and heavier, in a good way, with flush door handles, and new lighting signatures and design. It also comes in two new colour options, Terrain Brown and Frost Blue.
More Screen Space
a 12.3-inch touchscreen comes standard for all 2027 Seltos trims. X-Line models feature up to nearly 30 inches of combined display.
More standard safety features
Even on the base LX trim, Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go, and front and rear parking distance warnings are now standard.
So, if you are looking for a larger, more solid SUV with a larger screen layout and plenty of safety tech for daily driving in Mississauga and across the GTA, the 2027 Seltos is well worth a closer look.
Fuel Economy
With the price of gas in an ever-changing state, fuel economy is one of the most important factors when purchasing a new vehicle, especially for Mississauga drivers who split their time between local streets and major GTA highways. The fuel economy breakdown for the 2027 Kia Seltos is based on official NRCAN fuel consumption ratings for the gas models (Avg in L/100km):
Because the new 2027 Seltos models are larger and heavier, the 2.0L consumes slightly more fuel than its 2026 counterpart. However, the turbo AWD engine improves, due to its fuel consumption improvement on the highway.

So which 2027 Seltos engine option is best for me? If most of your driving is around Mississauga on local streets, without a lot of long-distance or highway travel, the 2.0L with front-wheel drive is your best choice. If you spend more time commuting on Highway 401, Highway 403, or the QEW, the 1.6L turbo AWD is a good choice. It only uses 7.8 L/100km on the highway, which is the same as the 2.0L all-wheel drive, plus you get a bit more power to merge or pass.
Cabin and Cargo Space
One of the biggest upgrades for the 2027 Seltos is space. And if you are taking kids to practice, heading out on a weekend road trip, taking pets to the park, or doing a big grocery or Costco run around Mississauga, you need not worry.
More legroom for passengers
you get roughly an inch more leg room than the 2026 model.
Headroom
about another inch was added to the Seltos cabin height, perfect for taller passengers and drivers.
Trunk space
this might be the one you notice most for the 2027 model, which gives you up to 786 litres behind the rear seats. This is more than the 2026 base model which gives you up to 752 litres. That's 34 litres more.
Cargo space (seats folded down)
You get up to 1,817 litres total. This has more cargo capacity than larger SUVs.
Is it big enough for the family? The added head and leg room is great for longer road trips. For everyday Mississauga life, from hockey bags and sports equipment to camping gear, larger grocery runs, or weekend trips out of the GTA, the adjustable trunk floor is perfect for these. You can raise it if you need to store things underneath, or you can drop it down for taller items.
Safety and Tech Features
If you are wondering what features come with the 2027 models, you're in luck because all 2027 Kia Seltos trims have a good roster of driving assistance features. Unlike previous models, you don't need to upgrade your trim level to have collision prevention or blind spot assistance tools.
Forward Collision-Avoiding Assist
in short, it helps you avoid a collision. If the Seltos senses a pedestrian, cyclist, or another car ahead of you it will let you know, even when turning in an intersection.
Blind Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist
This actively monitors your blind spots when driving and will intervene when changing lanes merging if there is a vehicle or other occupied space.
Smart Cruise Control with Stop and Go
This feature helps you maintain a safe distance from the car ahead of you. In traffic it handles complete stops and when to accelerate based on the flow of other cars.
Lane Keeping and Lane Following Assist
Provides steering wheel feedback and minor automatic corrections to help keep the Seltos centered in its lane.
Safe Exit Assist
Issues a warning and can temporarily lock the doors if passengers attempt to step out into approaching rear traffic.
Parking Distance Warning
This includes proximity sensors for both front and reverse maneuvering. It helps to make sure you park safely and avoids any fender benders.
Driver Attention and Speed Alerts
A feature that includes Driver Attention Warning, High-Beam Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
So, what does this mean for you for day-to-day driving? For Mississauga commuters who regularly use Highway 401, Highway 403, the QEW, or other busy GTA roads, the Lane Assist and Cruise Control features can be especially useful. These add peace of mind, and most importantly, safety to every drive.
The 2027 Kia Seltos in Summary
The 2027 Kia Seltos is larger, roomier inside, gives you more stow capacity, and is more equipped than the SUV it replaces. Although the base engine uses a tiny bit more fuel than the 2026 model, it gives you a lot more space, safety and tech options for the price. But the best way to see these upgrades is to experience the 2027 Kia Seltos for yourself. Visit Mississauga Kia at 2600 Motorway Blvd. to book a test drive and see how the redesigned Seltos fits your daily drive.
