2024 KIA Seltos S

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 S trim sits above the base LX and below the EX, adding a 10.25-inch touchscreen and blind-spot monitoring that the LX lacks. Its 2.0L four-cylinder and automatic transmission make 31 mpg combined, which is strong for a subcompact SUV without a hybrid.
