2023 KIA Seltos EX

The 2023 Seltos is a subcompact SUV that slots below the Sportage, offering a roomy cabin and a long list of standard features for its size. It competes with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mazda CX-30, standing out with a more spacious rear seat and a longer warranty. The Seltos handles urban streets with ease, and the turbo engine gives it a genuinely quick feel when you need to merge or pass. Inside, the Seltos offers a clean dashboard layout, supportive seats, and one of the largest cargo areas in its class. Standard tech includes an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a full suite of driver assists on most trims. The EX adds a power-adjustable driver's seat, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert over the S trim. Its 2.0L I4 makes 146 horsepower and pairs with a continuously variable automatic (CVT) and all-wheel drive, returning 29 mpg combined. The EX is the only Seltos with an optional sunroof, adding some airiness to the cabin.
