Seamless Tech Integration Powers the 2026 Seltos

The 2026 Kia Seltos brings a pair of 10.25-inch high-resolution screens to the driver’s cockpit: one dedicated to multimedia and the other to critical vehicle data. Each display adjusts brightness automatically for clear visibility by day or night, and the instrument cluster changes layout depending on whether you’re prioritizing fuel efficiency or performance metrics. Together, they centralize navigation, entertainment, and system settings in a single, intuitive interface that reduces the need to toggle between menus.

Beyond the dual-screen setup, the Seltos offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for hands-free access to apps, plus a wireless charging pad with alignment guides to keep your device powered. Natural-language voice recognition lets you control climate, audio and navigation without lifting a finger, while built-in mapping with Kia Connect traffic updates helps you avoid congestion. Digital Key 2 Touch turns your compatible smartphone into a secure entry and ignition device, and driver-assist features such as Forward Collision Avoidance and Lane Follow Assist work in concert with the cockpit technology to enhance safety.

  • Connect your smartphone wirelessly using Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to access music, calls and messaging apps directly on the touchscreen.
  • Place your device on the wireless charging pad, lining it up with the pad’s guides to ensure efficient power transfer throughout your drive.
  • Activate voice control by using natural speech commands—such as “Set temperature to 21 degrees” or “Navigate to closest coffee shop”—for hands-off operation.
  • Review real-time traffic updates on the navigation display via Kia Connect and reroute around slowdowns or construction automatically.
  • Use Digital Key 2 Touch in the Kia Connect app to lock, unlock and start your Seltos with your compatible smartphone instead of a traditional key fob.

By centralizing vital information on adaptive displays and enabling smartphone-based control, the Seltos minimises driver distraction while keeping essential features at your fingertips, delivering a more focused and connected driving experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What functions do the dual 10.25-inch screens serve?

The two matching displays occupy a seamless glass panel that runs from the centre of the dash to behind the steering wheel. The multimedia screen handles audio, phone, navigation and vehicle settings, featuring large, easy-to-read icons and menus that stay visible in bright sunlight. Meanwhile, the TFT-LCD supervision cluster directly in the driver’s line of sight provides speed, fuel level, trip information and active safety alerts. Switching between Eco, Normal or Sport driving modes automatically reconfigures the cluster’s layout, highlighting fuel economy data or performance metrics based on your preference.

How does wireless smartphone integration work in the Seltos?

When you enter the vehicle with a compatible phone, the multimedia system searches for known Bluetooth pairs. Once connected, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto launches wirelessly, mirroring familiar phone apps on the touchscreen. You can stream music, dictation-based messaging and turn-by-turn navigation without cables. A Qi-certified charging pad beneath the console holds your device firmly in place; alignment markers help you centre the phone over the charging coils, ensuring consistent power delivery over long commutes or weekend trips.

In what ways can I control the Seltos using voice commands?

The in-car microphone array listens for natural speech, allowing you to adjust key functions without memorizing specific phrases. Say things like “Increase fan speed,” “Play my road trip playlist,” or “Find nearest parking,” and the system responds accordingly. Voice recognition works even when the audio system is playing at moderate volume or when road noise peaks, thanks to directional microphones near the driver’s head. This hands-free approach keeps your eyes on traffic and your hands on the wheel, enhancing safety and convenience.

How does built-in navigation with Kia Connect improve my commute?

The Seltos’s factory-installed navigation eliminates the need to tether a phone for maps. It uses onboard maps and data from Kia Connect’s server to deliver live traffic flow, incident alerts and weather updates directly to your display. If congestion appears on your route, the system suggests alternative roads and recalculates arrival times instantly. Points of interest—such as fuel stations, charging points and dining spots—are listed with clear icons, and voice prompts guide you turn by turn, reducing the chance of missed exits or sudden lane changes.
