Performance
The 2026 Seltos stands out from the competition in Cedar Rapids because it flexes a 28/34/31 MPG city/hwy/combined¹ fuel efficiency rating when it’s equipped with a standard FWD system. Some iterations have an available AWD mechanism, which gives the SUV more traction power and a 27/31/29 MPG city/hwy/combined¹ fuel economy grade. Both of these EPA estimates are linked to a standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque. To keep them efficient, Kia installed a standard Intelligent Variable Transmission for seamless gear shifting while speeding up. For those who want more power in this Kia, we recommend that you pursue the SX, which comes with an available turbocharged 1.6L 4-cylinder powertrain that unleashes up to 190 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque. The SX is also equipped with an available 8-speed automatic transmission and AWD system.
Exterior Features
You’ll be able to carry your bikes to the Cedar River Trail when you attach an optional bike rack to the available roof rails² on the 2026 Kia Seltos. As you’re making your way back home, the standard LED Daytime Running Lights will keep other drivers aware of you. Colors like Steel Gray and Fusion Black make the bold panels and sharp edges along the doors, fender flares, and hood look more defined. If you opt for a higher trim level, you’ll be able to show off a body style that’s one shade while the roof is another hue. The Seltos will capture the attention of many more when there’s available Satin Chrome surrounding the windows. Finally, the standard 17-inch alloy wheels and all-season tires support the traction as well as the overall aesthetics of the vehicle. Going for a higher edition lets you show off available 18-inch variants, so choose any edition at your leisure.
Interior Features
With 53.2 cubic ft. of passenger space in the front row and 46.4 cubic ft. for the rear, you could bring up to five people along for an adventure outside of town. If the Kia Seltos is for a college student, let down the standard 60/40 split-fold back chairs to utilize the 62.8 cubic ft. of storage room³. On the dashboard, there’s a standard 8-inch touchscreen⁴ that provides an array of entertainment amenities. If you opt for an upper trim level, you’ll receive an available 10.25-inch display⁴ with navigation⁵ capabilities. Plus, you’ll have an opportunity to maintain the energy of your mobile device through the available wireless charging station⁶.

Testimonials
“ Had a great experience. They treated me with great professionalism and deliver of the car was in a timely matter. ”
“ I recently purchased a 2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid from Kia of Des Moines. I test drove the vehicle and obtained a quote for my current vehicle trade-in and within an hour we made a deal. It was a smooth process and there was no pressure from the salesman Jeff Davis. I didn't have a check or my current vehicle title with me, so they allowed me to make a wire transfer from my bank and I drove my new vehicle home that day. I returned the following day with the title for my old vehicle. It was a great experience not only with the sales staff, but also with Jim Voss in finance and with Jacob Kline in delivery who set up my new vehicle. I appreciated the fact that no one pushed an extended warranty program which a lot of dealers do these days. Kia already has an awesome warranty program. ”
“ Great place to buy a car. From start to finish, the KIA team provides excellent service! ”
“ Very professional and friendly service ”
“ We recently bought a new Telluride from them, and we enjoyed the experience. It was our first time buying a new car and they were very patient with us and weren't pushy at all. They didn't try any tricks with us and are very satisfied. We enjoyed our process working with them. ”
“ We came in and looked at a few cars, we were very happy with are sales rep and also the financial department. The gal that went over our new car and showed us stuff was great as well. This is our 3rd kia and we love it each time. Thank you again for the great service. ”
“ JR was very helpful in helping me make the right decisions!! I love my new car! ”
“ Best car purchase experience ever!!!! Joe made the process very easy and stress free. ”
“ Fantastic experience. Knowledgeable and quick. ”
“ Had a great experience at Kia of Des Moines buying my 2026 K4 GT-Line Premium. My salesman JR was good, honest, and patient through the whole process. He worked hard to get me the right car at the right price and rate, and treated me with respect. It was month-end and the dealership was really busy, so we didn’t get to take the traditional photo with the flower on top of the car. But that’s all good and totally understandable. Before we left, one of the managers came over, shook my hand, and thanked us for our business. That kind of personal touch meant a lot, especially on such a hectic day. JR and the whole team at Kia of Des Moines were professional from start to finish. If you’re in Des Moines looking for a Kia, ask for JR. Highly recommend! ”
“ I purchased a new Kia K5 GT Line from Kia of Des Moines after my daughter’s 2023 Kia K5 was rear ended by an uninsured motorist. I’ve purchased many vehicles in my lifetime and I have to say this was the easiest and unpressured car buying experience I’ve ever had. Thank You to Kia of Des Moines staff and or salesman JR. Best Always, Jeff ”

“ I had one of the best experiences at Kia. Zack was so helpful and attentive. He listened to what I was looking for and showed me every option that I had available to me. I have never had a car salesman work as hard as he did. He provided top notch customer service. But it didn’t end there. Signing the financial paperwork was quick and seamless. Also, the tutorial that I received at the end of the purchase was also a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend Kia of Des Moines if anyone is looking for a great vehicle and even better customer service. ”
“ Quick and easy. Fast quality service. Felt everything was transparent and helpful. ”
“ The salesman and other staff were attentive and worked with my wife and I to get not one, but two new vehicles at a price we could afford! The salesman went the extra mile literally as he had to pull several vehicles to look at until we found the one that had everything we were looking for. Definitely recommend Kia of Des Moines. ”
“ Great experience, in and out in 30 minutes! ”

“ We had a very good experience buying our new car at Kia of Des Moines. Their salesperson Gus was very pleasant, helpful and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend him to help you. We received a great discounted price on a service loaner with only 1800 miles, but with the full warranty which they extend to 200,000 miles, like any of their new cars. And it was SO nice to pick up the car and be in and out in less than an hour! We definitely recommend Kia of Des Moines to buy a new car! Be sure to tell Gus that Bob sent you! ”
“ Great customer service and answered all of my questions! Amazing experience! ”
“ We bought a Kia K5 from Kia of Des Moines and had an overall great experience. JR helped us through the entire process, and was wonderful to work with. He was very knowledgeable and took time to explain things but was never pushy. After our first visit, we left to think about things. We then texted JR and he was extremely responsive and worked with us to find exactly what we wanted and made our deal happen. We were very impressed and happy with our experience. ”
“ I went to Kia knowing I would either not be approved or get a used car. I have been working on my credit. Joe contacted me after I filled out the online pre approval. (While I was at another car lot.)He was amazing!!! He listened to what I wanted and did not try to put me in anything I didn’t want! Within 5 mins he came back with my dream car keys and said I was approved! He made the whole process smooth. He even let me punch the gas to see how she handled. I knew I loved Kia’s before but I will never go anywhere else!!! Joe Thank You!!! Kia team thank you! ”
“ I had a great experience here. The staff were polite, professional, and knowledgeable about the cars they were selling. They gave me a good feeling that I was getting the best price they could give. ”
“ Sure enough, just bought our second car with Iia of Des Moines. The experience was smooth, easy and so much quicker than many prior car buying experiences. Bob, Jim and the entire Kia crew took great care of us and we walked out in under 2 hours with a new hybrid Sportage. Thank you for a great experience. ”
“ This was the best car buying experience I’ve ever had. Gus and Merle were great. ”
“ Justin and Kaitlin were great! Even after a long day Justin was very professional and friendly. Kaitlin was also and explained the features of the car in detail. ”
“ While we didn’t buy our Telluride from this location, it’s had all of its maintenance done here outside of new tires. Every advisor I’ve dealt with from the service department has been great to deal with each time. The prices all seem fairly reasonable for the work done. The waiting area is fairly new. With free WiFi, coffee, and plenty of spots to sit and work, the time flies by. Shoutout to Kaitlyn and Zach for being great at what they do in the service area, and of course to the mechanic team as well! ”
“ Worked with JR Snyder, great to work with! ”
“ Great experience ”
