The overview
Compared to its predecessor, the second-generation Seltos expands slightly in most dimensions, including adding a bit more elbow and cargo room. It is also adding to its list of amenities, with an interior that looks more inviting than some larger, more expensive models, and a long roster of comfort, convenience, and active safety technology. In addition to traditional four-cylinder engines, the Seltos gains a hybrid powertrain. All-wheel drive remains optional. And to provide more flavors for buyers, it is expanding on the LX, S, and EX trims to add an off-road-inspired X-Line. The modern-looking interior features a wide, panoramic display comprised of three screens. A head-up display is available. The digital voice assistant is powered by ChatGPT. All told, the 'entry-level' descriptor may no longer apply to Kia’s smallest and most affordable SUV.
