A small SUV with room to roam

Drive a Seltos

The Seltos is a subcompact SUV that slips into tight parking spots and still swallows a weekend's worth of gear. Its 147 hp base engine returns 31 mpg combined with front-wheel drive, and all-wheel drive is available. It's a smart pick if you're searching for a Kia rental on Turo that balances city ease with road-trip range.

On Turo, you book your Seltos from a local vehicle owner and choose the pickup or delivery option that fits your plans. Pick your dates, compare listings, and confirm everything in the Turo app.

Versatility that outpaces its size

The Seltos gives you 26.6 cu ft of cargo space behind the rear seats and 62.8 cu ft with them folded — serious room for a subcompact SUV. The 60/40 split-folding rear seats let you carry a passenger and a long load at once. A dual-level cargo floor lets you raise the floor for easy loading or drop it for taller bags.

A tech-forward cabin

The Seltos puts your music, maps, and calls on a big, clear screen. S trims and up get a 10.25-inch touchscreen, while upper trims add dual 10.25-inch panoramic displays that stretch across the dash. You see navigation and vehicle info in one wide view.

Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mean you pair once and leave the cable in your bag. Your playlists, podcasts, and go-to map app appear on the screen, so your attention stays on the drive. If screen size matters to you, check the listing to see which setup your Seltos has.

Available turbo power

X-Line and SX trims swap the base engine for a 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder with 195 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with an eight-speed automatic and standard all-wheel drive. That's a clear step up from the 147 hp base engine, especially when you're merging onto the interstate with a full cargo area.

The base 2.0L engine still makes sense for city errands and fuel-conscious trips. If you're planning a long highway run with passengers or a climb to a mountain town, look for a turbo trim. Listings show the trim, so you know what you're getting before you book.

Stand out with a Seltos

The Seltos fits trips where you want an easy-to-park SUV with room to spare. It suits city weekends, couples on a getaway, small families, and road trips with real luggage — no creative packing required. Browse SUV rentals near you to find a Seltos that matches your dates and destination.

Top Seltos features

decorative separator

Available all-wheel drive

The Seltos stands out for available all-wheel drive, driver-assist tech, and Bose premium audio.

You can rent a Seltos with front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, and AWD comes standard with the turbo engine. AWD sends power to all four wheels, which adds confidence when the forecast shifts from sunny to soggy mid-trip. It's a handy choice for shoulder-season getaways and drives where conditions can change by the hour.

Think of AWD as peace of mind on paved roads and maintained routes. Off-roading is not permitted on Turo, so plan your trip around highways, city streets, and scenic drives. If AWD matters for your plans, confirm the drivetrain on the listing before you book.

Driver-assist tech

Upper Seltos trims offer available Highway Driving Assist, designed to ease the workload on long highway stretches. It's a welcome extra when your trip includes hours of interstate between you and your destination.

The SX adds Smart Cruise Control with Stop & Go, built for the start-and-stop rhythm of rush-hour traffic. You stay in charge — eyes on the road, hands on the wheel — while the tech takes the edge off a long day of driving. Check the listing's trim to see which driver-assist features your Seltos includes, especially if you're planning a commute-heavy week or a long road trip.

Bose premium audio

The SX trim adds Bose premium audio, turning the cabin into a rolling listening room. Your road-trip playlist, a gripping podcast, or a favorite album all get richer, fuller sound than a standard setup.

Pair your phone wirelessly through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, queue up your soundtrack, and let the miles roll by. It's a small upgrade that makes a big difference on long drives, when the music sets the mood for the whole trip. If great sound is high on your list, filter for an SX and confirm the audio system in the listing details before you book.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Seltos

Get to know your Seltos

The best Seltos trip starts with the right trim and a few packing tricks. Here's what to check before you book and before you drive away.

Check the listing for the trim before you book. LX, S, and EX trims use the 147 hp base engine, while X-Line and SX trims get the 195 hp turbo with standard all-wheel drive. Screen size varies, too — the LX has an 8-inch touchscreen, and S trims and up have a 10.25-inch display.

If you need AWD, confirm the drivetrain in the listing, since some Seltos models are front-wheel drive.

Seltos driving tips

Fold one side of the 60/40 split rear seats to fit long or bulky gear and still seat a passenger. Use the dual-level cargo floor to keep bags flat or stack taller items. Pair your phone wirelessly before you leave, so your maps and music are ready at the curb.

Keep your Seltos on paved roads. Off-roading is not permitted on Turo.
