London Kia
If you've spent any time driving around London, ON, you know your vehicle needs to handle everything from tight parking spots to highway merging. That’s why the 2026 Kia Seltos and the 2026 Kia Sportage are probably already on your short list. But this is where the decision gets interesting: do you lean toward the agile, city-friendly size and incredible value of the Seltos, or do you need the extra horsepower, expanded cargo space, and more premium interior feel that the Sportage delivers? Both look sharp and pack advanced tech, but we're going beyond the basics to find out which one truly matches your London lifestyle.
Size is where the separation happens. The 2026 Kia Seltos is your agile companion, making quick work of city errands and tight parking. Yet, it manages to swallow 752 litres of cargo behind the rear seats, which is plenty for a weekend getaway, and up to 1,778 litres when you fold the seats down.
The 2026 Kia Sportage steps things up with a much roomier cabin and a sprawling 1,121 litres of cargo space behind the rear seats, expanding to a massive 2,098 litres. If your trips often involve long drives or lots of gear for the family, the Sportage clearly takes the lead.
The Kia Seltos keeps things simple and efficient with a 2.0-litre engine producing 147 horsepower and an average fuel economy rating of 8.2 L/100 km combined. It is an excellent choice for commuters who want predictable ownership costs and smooth everyday performance.
The Kia Sportage delivers more muscle with a 2.5-litre engine producing 187 horsepower and an 8.9 L/100 km combined rating. This added power translates into quicker acceleration and greater confidence on the highway. With hybrid and plug-in hybrid options available in other trims, the Sportage lineup offers flexibility for drivers who want more performance without stepping into a full-size SUV.
Both models deliver the modern features Canadian drivers expect, but there are notable differences. The Seltos comes equipped with an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a smart key, heated seats, synthetic leather upholstery, and a comprehensive suite of safety technologies including blind-spot monitoring, forward collision avoidance, and lane keeping assist.
The Sportage elevates the experience with a larger 12.3-inch touchscreen, dual-zone climate control, available ventilated front seats, an optional panoramic dual-display setup, memory seating, enhanced parking assist features, and available wireless charging. For drivers seeking near-luxury comfort without premium pricing, the Sportage stands out.
The 2026 Kia Seltos is an ideal match for young professionals, first-time SUV owners, students, and anyone looking for a stylish, efficient daily driver that feels effortless in the city. The 2026 Kia Sportage is better suited for families who need extra space, stronger performance, and added comfort for longer drives and weekend adventures.
