With its sporty, futuristic grille and LED headlights, trim waistline, muscular haunches, full-length rear light bar, and athletic stance, the Kia Seltos is remarkably easy on the eyes; a certified head turner. However, the 2024 Kia Seltos is not just another pretty face: it boasts several class-leading stats that make it one of the most appealing subcompact SUVs on the market today.
Peppy Performance
The Kia Seltos is incredibly fleet-footed for a car of its size, dashing from zero to 60 in a mere 6 seconds when equipped with the optional 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four engine. This engine churns out up to 195 HP to allow you to sprint with the best of them when you need to. The standard efficiency-tuned 2.0-liter inline-four generates 147 HP and boasts an excellent EPA-estimated fuel economy of up to 34 MPG on the highway.
The 2024 Seltos complements that power with exceptional handling. Featuring a clever combo of a nicely weighted and highly responsive electric power steering and the large-spring-travel MacPherson Strut Suspension system, the Seltos handles curves with ease while absorbing bumps with grace for an ultra-smooth ride. Moreover, most Seltos models come with an adaptive all-wheel drive system with lock mode that works well with the vehicle’s 7.3-inch ground clearance to allow you to eat rugged terrains for breakfast.
Spacious and Comfortable
The Kia Seltos might be marketed and priced as a subcompact SUV, but its class-leading interior volume begs to differ. For starters, with 53 cubic feet of space for front passengers, a best-in-class 46 cubes in the rear, and a total cargo volume of up to 63 cubic feet, this supposedly “little” SUV has no issues accommodating five 6-foot tall adults or providing enough space to shuttle gear, appliances, or any other cargo you would need a van for.
The optional faux-leather adorned interior is incredibly luxurious, as are the available heated and ventilated front seats. The rear seats offer lots of cushioning to offer extra thigh support, making the Seltos exceptionally ideal for longer drives. Other niceties include the available automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel, wireless charging, numerous USB ports, sunroof, sound-absorbing windshield glass, and the premium 8-speaker Bose Surround System.
Lots of Convenient Technologies
At the heart of the 2024 Seltos’s tech hub is a 10.25-inch touchscreen that can come as a dual panoramic display to cover two thirds of the dash. It comes with seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, as well as available Sirius XM satellite radio and Wi-Fi hotspot capability.
The Kia Seltos helps keep you and other road users safe with advanced driver assist features such as Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and available Cruise Control.
