Questions people ask
How much can a Kia Seltos tow?
Kia publishes no towing rating for it: "We do not recommend using this vehicle for trailer towing."
Can I add a hitch to the Seltos?
A hitch doesn't create a rating. Without one from Kia, there is no trailer weight the Seltos is rated to pull — check your owner's manual before fitting one.
