2026 Kia Seltos shown above with optional equipment. 

Spearhead an unforgettable journey when you ignite the powertrain in the 2026 Seltos at Elgin Kia. With four trim levels to choose from, your decision boils down to your personality and specific driving needs. If you’re looking to tap into premier features affordably, the S trim is just a step above the base model. We can’t wait to pull back the curtain on this subcompact SUV’s capabilities, so stop by our location near Algonquin today! 

Exterior

You’ll be thrust into the spotlight each time you cruise down Highway 62 in the Seltos S. All-season tires are mounted on 17-inch machine-finished alloy wheels to prioritize safety and style while weaving between lanes on the Western Algonquin Bypass. To avoid obstacles on rural roads, projector headlights automatically illuminate when the sun sets. These bulbs frame a black and chrome grille that provides a polished and sophisticated appearance to the front-end of the car. Lastly, a 7.3-inch ground clearance reduces wind drag while simultaneously allowing the SUV to handle off-road terrain. 

Performance

Propelled by Double Overhead Camshafts and Dual Continuously Variable Valve Timing, the 2026 Kia Seltos will dominate your treks to Presidential Park. Engage the push button start to activate the 2.0L 4-cylinder engine and Intelligent Variable Transmission. With these systems working side by side, you’ll be able to unleash 147 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque in an instant. This model’s gearbox also provides Normal, Sport, and Eco drive modes to customize your traveling dynamics behind the wheel. With the latter of the three selected, you can maximize the 28/34/31 MPG city/hwy/combined1 fuel economy rating. Do potholes plague your daily commutes? The front and rear stabilizer bars will create a serene cabin environment by absorbing the impact of uneven roadways. 

Interior

Plush comfort awaits you when you slip into the cockpit of the 2026 Seltos S. A blend of SynTex and cloth embroiders each seat to let you and your passengers sink into peak relaxation. You’ll also be able to keep your posture upright, since a 6-way manual driver’s chair is ready to cradle you. Once you settle in, grip the leather-wrapped steering wheel to access intuitive handling on winding roads. Your copilot will also be able to enjoy the ride, since a 4-way manual passenger’s seat awaits them. Our Chicagoland winters won’t impact your ability to stay warm either, because heated2 front cushions are available upgrades.

Excellent experience! We went in and gave Kostya what most would consider to be an unattainable ask, and he delivered. Would absolutely buy another vehicle from Elgin Kia. Their service department is excellent too!

Great Job!

Had an overall good experience considering that it's hard to have a good experience buying a car. Ryan Gleeson did a fantastic job listening, advocating, and NOT forcing a particular car on us. He wanted to ensure that we had the car we wanted at a price that was a win for both us and the dealer. Very likely that I'll call Ryan again when it's time for the next car.

Amazing!

My husband and I had an amazing experience buying a car with Sergio at Elgin Kia. He was so professional and respectful to us the entire time. He went above and beyond to meet our needs and gave us the best car buying experience!

Weck Kia completely changed my view of how miserable car buying usually is. From start to finish, they were transparent, honest, and genuinely focused on making the experience smooth and stress free instead of pressured or confusing. Oscar was unbelievable to work with and went above and beyond at every step, being knowledgeable, straightforward, and someone you instantly trust, which is rare in this industry. Leval was also very helpful and made sure everything was clear and handled properly throughout the process. If every dealership operated the way Weck Kia does, buying a car would actually be enjoyable, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Great Experience!

Had a great experience at Elgin Kia. Ryan Gleeson was easy to work with. Wasn't pushy at all, actually bought the vehicle on my second trip there with no harassment from him while I took my time to decide. Knew the vehicle well and pointed out features that were new to me from previous models I owned. Defenitely will go back when I need some new wheels

Great Service!

Everyone hates going to the dealership and for me car buying has always been a horrible experience. I kept getting the run around with most dealerships for the past couple months, but then I spoke to Oscar at Elgin KIA and I cannot emphasize enough on an amazing experience. We came into the dealership knowing what we wanted and Oscar was super helpful and did everything possible to give us the best price for what we were looking for. Not only was he straight forward and professional, he was transparent and knowledgeable. No hidden fees, no BS, and everything to make our experience easy and comfortable was accomplished. I will be bringing all my family to see Oscar when they are ready to purchase their new vehicles.

If you're in the market for a new Kia, don't hesitate to choose Elgin Kia!

Marcin was very efficient and easy to work with before the purchase, and Brock took great care of me during my visit to the dealership to finalize everything! The lease was agreed upon before I even stepped into the dealership which made the whole visit very easy and fast. I will definitely take up Brock on his offer to come by again to go over my new vehicle in a bit more detail since I was in a time crunch and couldn't spend as much time as I wanted to exploring and asking questions, but that was on me! If you're in the market for a new Kia, don't hesitate to choose Elgin Kia! I hope their service department will treat me just as well as Sales did if/when I need them

We went to 4 different dealerships to look at cars and WAG Elgin Kia was hands down the friendliest group. We didn’t feel overly pressured, we felt that our needs were listened to, and ultimately purchased a great vehicle from them. Joey was awesome- such a nice, friendly, honest guy to work with! Also, for you dog lovers- this dealership is for you. Their mascot/logo is the owner’s dog, we saw dog beds in offices, and shared dog pics with Joey. Dog people = good people. 10/10 recommend!

Exceeded my expectations! We love our new wolf grey K5 GT Line AWD!

From the start to finish, a great experience with Jeremy and Carly Weck in finance. We had Jeremy pulling up multiple vehicles, explaining features and options available. Test driving multiple vehicles, to find the perfect K5. The utmost professionalism was shown, by the staff. Carly Weck is a very friendly person, and explains the benefits, of the product's, to further protect your new Kia. Kyle Lindquist Service Manager, and his team will treat you like friends, and provide you with the best Kia service experience around! There is professionalism and a passion, for the Kia product, throughout the dealership! The dealership is stunning, inviting, modern and represents Kia's brand identity. Stay away from the Lion

I could not be more thrilled with my experience. Sheila and her team took such amazing care of me. I have had experiences buying used cars where I have been more or less brushed aside since I wasn’t buying new. Not at Elgin Kia. Sheila was kind and caring and accommodating every step of the way. She wrapped everything up in a bow and even made sure my two young kids didn’t leave disappointed. You can’t lose here.
