Why does my Kia Ceed's automatic transmission seem to be slipping?

I have a 2019 Kia Ceed with an automatic transmission. I've noticed that it sometimes feels like the transmission is slipping when I accelerate. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the transmission fluid. Make sure it is at the correct level and check for any leaks. If the fluid is dark or has a burnt smell, it may need to be flushed and replaced.

Another potential cause could be a worn out transmission belt. This is a more serious issue and will require professional attention. It is important to get this fixed as soon as possible to prevent further damage to the transmission.

It could also be a problem with the transmission solenoid. This can cause slipping and shifting issues. A mechanic will need to diagnose and replace the faulty solenoid.

If you have been driving frequently in stop-and-go traffic or towing heavy loads, it's possible that the transmission is overheating. Check the transmission fluid and make sure it is at the proper level. Consider installing an aftermarket transmission cooler for added protection.
