2023 KIA Seltos S

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 S skips the EX's larger infotainment screen and blind-spot monitoring, but keeps the same 2.0L engine and all-wheel drive for a lower starting price. The 2.0L I4 makes 147 horsepower and works with an automatic transmission to deliver 29 mpg combined in mixed driving. Standard 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails give the S a slightly more rugged look than the base LX.
