2024 KIA Seltos EX

The 2024 Kia Seltos is a subcompact SUV slotting between the Soul and Sportage, offering a roomy cabin and a long warranty. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-30, and Toyota Corolla Cross, standing out with its standard driver-assistance tech. The Seltos handles confidently for its class, with the turbo engine providing lively acceleration, though the ride can be firm on rough roads. Inside, the Seltos offers a spacious rear seat and generous cargo space for a subcompact, with available tech like a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Kia's reputation for reliability has improved, and the Seltos benefits from the brand's 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. The EX gives up the X-Line's sporty looks and extra power, but saves you money while keeping the same generous standard features. Its 2.0L I4 makes 146 horsepower and pairs with a smooth automatic transmission, delivering 31 mpg combined in front-wheel-drive form. Dual-zone automatic climate control and a wireless phone charger are standard here, features you'd pay extra for on many rivals.
