This 2025 Kia Seltos EX AWD serves as the quintessential high-volume sweet spot of Kia’s subcompact crossover lineup, boasting a futuristic look and an incredibly generous feature list. It is powered by a dependable 2.0L Smartstream 4-cylinder engine producing 147 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, mated to an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).In Canada, the EX comes standard with an advanced Intelligent All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system that uniquely features a manually locking center differential. This allows you to lock power 50/50 between the front and rear wheels to confidently dig out of deep snowbanks or muddy cottage roads. It remains highly economical, sipping an average of 8.8 L/100 km in the city and 7.5 L/100 km on the highway.The Futuristic Digital CockpitFollowing a major design overhaul, the 2025 Seltos EX completely punches above its price class by ditching standard analog gauges for a high-tech panoramic display wall.The Screen Setup: The dashboard is dominated by a sweeping glass panel housing a digital driver supervision instrument cluster seamlessly fused to a massive 10.25-inch multimedia touchscreen with built-in Navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.Premium Cabin Touchpoints: Rather than basic cloth, the EX wraps passengers in full Sofino synthetic leather upholstery. It adds a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, automatic climate control, and a standard power sunroof.Ultimate Winter PreparationDesigned explicitly to tackle harsh Canadian winter mornings, the 2025 EX trim leaves very little to the option boxes:Multi-level heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.Smart Key with Push-Button Start featuring an integrated factory Remote Engine Start right on the key fob.Heated, power-adjustable side mirrors with built-in LED turn signal repeaters."Star-Map" Styling & UtilityVisually, the 2025 model embraces Kia's stunning modern design language. It is easily distinguished by its brilliant full LED headlights, LED fog lights, and a rear "Star-Map" LED light bar that spans across the entire tailgate. It rides on sharp 17-inch alloy wheels with a clean machine finish.Despite its subcompact classification, the Seltos is famously boxy, translating to massive cargo capability. It offers 752 liters of cargo room behind the rear seats, expanding to a cavernous 1,778 liters with the 60/40 rear benches folded flat—rivaling SUVs a size class above it.Comprehensive Safety ShieldThe EX comes standard with an exhaustive suite of active driver assistance tech to guard your daily commute:Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist (FCA) with Pedestrian and Cyclist detection.Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist (BCA) and Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance.Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Following Assist (LFA) to center you on the highway.Safe Exit Assist (prevents passengers from opening doors into oncoming traffic).
