2023 Kia Seltos Towing Capacity

If you’re looking to upgrade your daily Dallas commute with a sporty new SUV, you can’t go wrong with the 2023 Kia Seltos! The Kia Seltos is a stylish compact crossover that’s built with efficiency and reliability in mind, making it ideal for anything from local errands to a family road trip. But how much can the Kia Seltos tow? While Kia generally doesn’t recommend towing heavy cargo behind a small SUV like the Seltos, it can nevertheless haul up to 1,323 pounds without trailer brakes and 2,425 pounds with trailer brakes. That’s enough for a small camper, a small boat, an ATV, or a pair of motorcycles, as long as you properly attach the correct trailer hitch! Bob Moore Auto Group has more details on the Kia Seltos tow capacity and performance power in the guide below.

2023 Kia Seltos Performance Specs

The Kia Seltos tow capacity is made possible by two powerful engines under the hood: a 2.0L turbocharged powertrain that comes on the LX, S, and EX trims, and a 1.5 turbocharged option that you’ll find on the SX and Nightfall Edition trims. Both engines have been designed to maximize your performance and efficiency on the Edmond roads:

If you’d prefer to carry your cargo inside (or on top of) your Kia Seltos instead of behind it, you have that option as well! The Seltos has a spacious 26.6-cubic-foot cargo bay in the rear, which can be expanded to an impressive 62.8 cubic feet if you fold the second row of seats down. Upper-level Seltos trims also come standard-equipped with roof rails so you can securely stack extra cargo on top of your SUV.
