Positive Review

"absolute best in it's category"

exterior styling is absolutely best especially the front end with awesome lighting. black cladding and fake brushed aluminum looking pieces are in the right place and done perfectly. DRL is unique and the parking RL that goes across the front is unique and awesome at night time. overall interior design and functions are logically laid out and easy to use. 2.0 and iVT is good enough for commuting and long distance driving. KIA has the best LKA [lane keep assist]. MPG is also very good for power/weight/upright vehicle. easily average 32MPG in mixed driving / commute. it definitely looks much more expanse than it actually cost.

Critical Review

"Worst on the market"

Love the style, however, Kia dropped the ball. Needed a new transmission at 5k and 10k a new engine.

Beautiful 2024 Kia Seltos SX
Pros

Interior and exterior Aesthetics. Roominess.

Cons

N/A

My wife saw the 2024 Kia Seltos SX in the two tone Pluton Blue. She asked me to sell my truck and got me this as a gift. It is a great looking car. With the turbo engine, it is very peppy, really. Once the turbo kicks in, it can move. Due to being a subcompact, it is very easy to maneuver, complete u-turns, and park. Love the comfort, the interior aesthetics, AWD, etc. I absolutely love this car. Great job, Kia.

Really good
Pros

Size, mpg, reliable

Perfect commuter vehicle. I got it just for that: not long road trips. I’m old, so for long trips I prefer a more serene, smooth ride. I’m not in it more than an hour or so at a time. Have had for 3 plus years. Average 30-31 mpg over all. It’s the sx turbo because I wanted all the bells and whistles on the top model. This baby has everything.

Kia Seltos

You might as well be driving a semi truck when you are going up a hill when driving a 2021 Seltos because the car does not go over 40 miles an hour going up a hill.

love my car
Pros

everything

Cons

no automatic trunk opener

I have been so happy with this car and have had several people try to buy it from me. Its the gold color, which is very popular and hard to find. My only issue is that I did not get the automatic opening for the trunk area. The gas mileage is great and I never lose it in a parking lot.
