The 2025 Kia Seltos is a compact SUV that fits well into everyday life here in Milton and the surrounding areas of Ontario. Whether you drive through town, head up the 401, or explore the trails of Rattlesnake Point on the weekend, the Seltos is built to make driving easy and comfortable. At Milton Kia, we spend time with customers so they can find the Seltos that matches their needs, their style, and their budget. The Seltos comes in a range of trims, each with specific features. Here, we will walk through these trims in a simple way and help you think about which one fits you best.
The LX FWD trim is where the Seltos begins its story. It has a 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine, making about 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. The engine works with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT) that helps make each ride smooth. For fuel, the LX FWD uses about 8.3 L/100 km in the city and 6.8 on the highway, so trips around Milton and longer drives are easy on gas.
Inside, the LX FWD seats five people comfortably. Cargo room is generous with 752 litres when the rear seats are up and opens to 1,778 litres when they are folded. This means you can fit groceries, sports gear, or weekend bags without stress. The interior seats come in Black cloth, and you get a display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto to keep your phone connected. Other everyday features include heated front seats, keyless entry, keyless ignition, and fog lights.
For many drivers who want a reliable everyday vehicle with good space and simple tech, the LX FWD is a great start. If you want something that handles better in rain or winter snow, the LX AWD (all-wheel drive) might make more sense than the FWD model.
The LX AWD shares the same engine and horsepower as the LX FWD — the 2.0-litre four-cylinder unit with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. What makes this trim different is its All-Wheel Drive system, which can provide extra grip on slippery roads and in winter conditions.
Fuel use goes up a bit with AWD — typically around 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.5 L/100 km on the highway — but many drivers find that extra traction worth it for confidence on local roads and side streets. Inside, this trim has the same cargo space and seating as the LX FWD with cloth seats and a simple tech setup. If you do a lot of highway driving or winter travel, AWD is usually the logical next step up from the base FWD version.
The EX trim keeps the same 2.0-litre engine with 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque and offers both FWD and AWD. It builds on the LX trim with additional comfort and style inside. Features like more refined interior materials and enhanced tech make a noticeable difference when you spend time in traffic or take longer drives.
You still have generous cargo space and seating for five, but now you also get things like fog lights and enhanced connectivity. If you find yourself wanting a bit more comfort and usefulness every day, the EX feels like a logical midway point between simple and fully loaded.
The EX Premium trim adds even more feel-good features. It still uses the 2.0-litre engine and offers AWD, but it adds refined touches to the interior space. The seats are comfortable for long drives, and the cabin feels a bit more upscale compared to the LX and EX trims.
For drivers who want their small SUV to feel a bit more like a thoughtful all-around vehicle, the EX Premium makes sense. It builds on the EX while giving extra presence and comfort without moving into the performance-oriented parts of the lineup.
The SX trim is where the Seltos changes its personality a bit. It uses a 1.6-litre turbocharged engine with 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that gives stronger response and a more spirited feel on the road.
Fuel use changes accordingly, usually closer to 9.7 L/100 km in the city and 8.6 on the highway, but the extra power is noticeable in passing and highway driving. Inside, seats are upgraded to Sofino Black synthetic leather and feel more premium. Features like heated seats, ventilated front seats, heated steering wheel, and an advanced tech setup make this trim feel enjoyable on longer drives or daily commutes alike.
If you enjoy a more lively drive and appreciate extra comfort, the SX is a strong choice.
At the top is the X-Line trim, which pairs the same 1.6-litre turbo engine and 8-speed automatic as the SX with a bolder look. It uses 18-inch black alloy wheels and has interior finishes that feel premium and modern.
This trim suits drivers who want performance, style, and confidence as a package. If you want an SUV that feels ready for weekend plans, family days, and everyday life with a bit of flair, the X-Line feels right. It brings power and presence together in a way that feels really solid for Ontario roads.
Every trim of the 2025 Kia Seltos has its place. The LX FWD is simple and sensible, the LX AWD adds traction for changing weather, the EX brings more comfort, the EX Premium feels refined, the SX adds strong performance and features, and the X-Line combines power with bold styling. No matter which you choose, the Seltos gives a great balance of space, tech, and everyday usability.
