Marketed as a small crossover meant for adventurers, the 2021 Kia Seltos has much to offer those looking to make lifelong stories. As a fresh, versatile model in the Kia lineup, drivers have flocked to the model to see what it’s all about. However, can the model fare well when off-road? At Garden Grove Kia, we go over the features that help the model in off-road situations.
With its five total trims, there are several 2021 Kia Seltos models and options to aid in off-road performance. Each trim level is available with the Dynamax™ All-Wheel Drive with Lock Mode. This splits the overall power 50/50 from the front and rear wheels evenly for enhanced control. Several trim levels also provide an available 1.6L turbocharged engine, which produces up to 196 ft-lbs of torque and 175 horsepower. Also included in models is an effective 7-Speed Dual Clutch Transmission.
Beyond its larger features, the 2021 Kia Seltos also possesses other key features to help it perform off-road. In terms of safety features, the model offers a Traction Control System.

Armed with several great off-roading features, the 2021 Kia Seltos is a great model to get hikers or bikers to a trailhead.
