2025 KIA Seltos S X-Line

The 2025 Seltos is Kia's small SUV, slotting between the Soul and Sportage and competing with the Honda HR-V, Toyota Corolla Cross, and Mazda CX-30. The Seltos handles with a light, nimble feel that makes it easy to place in traffic, though the ride can get busy on rough pavement. Its cabin is roomier than most rivals, with generous rear legroom and a cargo area that swallows a week's groceries with ease. Standard tech includes a touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus the Drive Wise safety suite. Stepping up to the S X-Line from the LX adds the stronger engine, all-wheel drive, and 18-inch gloss black wheels. The 2.0L I4 makes 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, and the front-wheel drive helps it return 31 mpg combined. The S X-Line's multi-link rear suspension and Drive Mode Select give it a more planted feel than the LX's torsion beam setup.
