All-New 2027 Kia Seltos & EV3 Debut at the New York Auto Show
The future of driving just got a major upgrade. Fresh off their debut at the New York International Auto Show, the all-new 2027 Kia Seltos and 2027 Kia EV3 are set to bring exciting changes to Kia’s lineup. Whether you’re searching for a versatile small SUV or considering making the switch to electric, these two models deliver the kind of innovation, comfort, and value today’s drivers care about most.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes each of these new Kia SUVs stand out, and why they’re worth the wait.

2027 Seltos
2027 Kia Seltos: A Small SUV That Thinks Big
If you’ve been shopping for a compact SUV, the redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos is built to exceed expectations. Bigger, more capable, and more advanced than ever, it’s designed for drivers who want SUV practicality without stepping up to a full-size model.
More Space Where It Matters
The first thing you’ll notice about the new Seltos is its larger size. Kia has expanded the cabin to provide:
- Best-in-class rear legroom
- More headroom and shoulder space
- Increased cargo capacity for road trips, groceries, or gear
For everyday drivers, that means more comfort for passengers and more flexibility for whatever your day brings.
Powertrain Choices for Every Lifestyle
One of the biggest upgrades is versatility under the hood. The 2027 Seltos is the only SUV in its class to offer three powertrain options:
- A reliable 2.0L engine for efficient daily driving
- A turbocharged 1.6L engine for more responsive performance
- A brand-new hybrid option for improved fuel efficiency
Whether your priority is affordability, performance, or fuel savings, there’s a Seltos that fits.
Built for Real-World Driving
Drivers in Ohio know conditions can change quickly, and the Seltos is ready for it. With available all-wheel drive and multi-terrain modes, plus up to 8.1 inches of ground clearance, it’s equipped for snow, rain, mud, and everything in between.
Next-Level Tech & Comfort
Inside, the Seltos feels more like a premium SUV with:
- Dual 12.3-inch displays for navigation and driver info
- Available panoramic sunroof
- Streaming capabilities with apps like Netflix and YouTube
- Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Add in features like a surround-view monitor, blind-spot camera, and advanced safety systems, and you get a vehicle that will keep you safe and confident on the roads, and comfortable and entertained while parked.

2027 EV3
2027 Kia EV3: Affordable Electric Driving Arrives
Looking to go electric without breaking the bank? The all-new 2027 Kia EV3 is designed to make EV ownership more accessible without sacrificing range, technology, or everyday usability.
Electric Range That Fits Your Life
Range anxiety is a thing of the past with the EV3. Depending on the trim, it offers:
- Up to 320 miles of all-electric range
- Fast charging from 10% to 80% in about 30 minutes
That’s more than enough for daily commutes, errands, and even longer road trips with fewer stops.
Designed for Everyday Convenience
The EV3 is a compact electric SUV, but it’s packed with practical features:
- Flexible cargo space and folding rear seats
- A front trunk (“frunk”) for extra storage
- Available hands-free power liftgate
It’s built for real life, for everything from weekend road trips to weekday errands.
Smart Charging & Energy Features
Kia has made charging simpler than ever on the EV3. It features:
- Native NACS charging port (compatible with a wide network of chargers)
- Plug-and-charge capability—just plug in and go
- Available Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) to power devices like laptops or small appliances
You can even use it as a backup power source in certain situations, adding an extra layer of practicality. With the rise in popularity of EVs, big companies like Circle K are working to add charging stations to their locations. With more companies planning to follow in those footsteps, you’ll never be stuck without a charge!
Tech-Forward Interior
Like the Seltos, the EV3 brings high-end tech into an approachable price range. The interior features:
- Nearly 30 inches of combined digital display
- Over-the-air updates to keep features current
- Available head-up display and premium audio
- Advanced driver assistance features for added peace of mind
It’s a modern driving experience that feels intuitive from day one.
Which One Is Right for You?
Both models offer something unique for today’s drivers:
- Choose the 2027 Kia Seltos if you want a traditional SUV with flexibility, available AWD, and even a hybrid option.
- Choose the 2027 Kia EV3 if you’re ready to go fully electric with impressive range and cutting-edge technology.
Either way, Kia is clearly focused on delivering more value, more features, and more innovation in the vehicles drivers actually want.
Coming Soon…
The 2027 Kia Seltos is expected to arrive as early as mid-2026, while the EV3 is slated for a late 2026 release. If you’re interested in being among the first to test drive either model, now is the perfect time to stay informed.
