Weekend-Ready: Unlock the 2026 Seltos’s Adaptive Cargo Design

The 2026 Kia Seltos features a smart cargo area that transforms weekend plans with 1 778 L of space available when the 60:40 split-fold seats are stowed, while still offering 752 L behind the second row for everyday versatility. Its load floor sits at a user-friendly height to minimise heavy lifting, and the wide rear hatch provides full access to accommodate bulky gear without obstruction. Beneath the main floor, concealed underfloor compartments stash valuables and smaller essentials, keeping the primary cargo bay clear for larger items. Integrated tie-down hooks and attachment points secure your equipment on winding backroads, preventing unwanted movement.

The one-touch seat-folding mechanism reshapes the cabin in seconds, allowing partial or full bench collapse to match passenger and cargo needs. Strategic interior cubbies, door pockets and seatback organisers keep phones, snacks and maps within easy reach during long drives. Optional genuine Kia roof rails and cargo boxes further expand capacity for oversized items such as kayaks or folding chairs without encroaching on passenger comfort.

  • Adjust the cargo floor to a raised or lowered position based on your load’s height.
  • Fold the 60:40 rear seats using the one-touch lever to combine passenger and cargo configurations.
  • Store valuables securely in the underfloor compartments to maximise the main bay’s usable space.
  • Secure loose items with the built-in tie-down hooks before setting off on winding roads.
  • Expand capacity by fitting genuine Kia roof rails and cargo boxes for oversized adventure gear.

By combining configurable seating, hidden compartments and secure fastening points, the Seltos empowers active lifestyles, letting you pack more equipment without compromising passenger space or comfort during weekend escapes, extending your adventure possibilities wherever the road leads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum cargo capacity in the 2026 Seltos?

The Seltos offers up to 1 778 L of cargo space when the rear seats are fully folded using its 60:40 split design. With the seats upright, you retain 752 L behind the second row—ample room for groceries, duffel bags or luggage. The load floor height of approximately 700 mm reduces the effort needed to lift heavy coolers or camping boxes. A wide-opening hatch and nearly flat seatbacks ensure long items slide in smoothly, making it ideal for hauling outdoor equipment.

How do underfloor storage compartments improve gear organisation?

Underfloor compartments provide discreet bins beneath the main cargo floor for items like first-aid kits, tools or personal electronics. By stashing smaller essentials out of sight, you free up the primary bay for larger items without clutter. Each bin features a quick-release latch and offers around 200 mm of depth—enough for flashlights, repair kits or dry bags. This design keeps valuables protected from prying eyes and prevents loose objects from shifting during spirited drives.

Can I carry passengers and large items simultaneously?

Yes. The 60:40 split-fold rear seat system lets you fold down one side of the bench, creating an extended floor surface for longer gear—such as kayaking paddles or folding chairs—while still seating one or two rear passengers comfortably. The one-touch folding lever deploys the seatbacks nearly flat in seconds, and spring-loaded alignment guides ensure they lock securely when returned upright. This flexibility means fewer roof-mounted loads on shorter trips and maximum cabin usability.

What accessories enhance the Seltos’s cargo versatility?

Genuine Kia accessories extend the Seltos’s storage potential with roof rails and crossbars that support cargo boxes, bike mounts or kayak racks. Cargo organisers, dividers and nets help segment the main bay, preventing items from shifting around corners or sudden stops. All-weather floor mats protect the load floor from mud, sand and spills, making cleanup after beach days or camping trips effortless. Tie-down kits and soft carriers complete the package, allowing you to customise how you stow and secure every piece of equipment.
