Why it stands out
The 2021 Kia Seltos distinguishes itself in the competitive subcompact SUV market by offering a blend of style, space, and advanced technology, which often exceeds buyer expectations for this segment. Its interior is designed with high-quality materials and an intuitive layout that is reminiscent of more expensive brands, providing an upscale feel at an accessible price point. The Seltos is engineered for both comfort and function, boasting an impressive 26.6 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats, which expands to 62.8 cubic feet when the seats are folded down. This makes the Seltos one of the most spacious options available, underscoring its utility for daily use or road trips.
The vehicle's performance is also noteworthy, particularly in the turbocharged variants, which deliver more robust power and responsive handling. The various drive modes enhance driver engagement, making the Seltos enjoyable to drive in both urban and open road settings. Although some reviews point to the base engine being underwhelming, many owners appreciate the vehicle's overall handling characteristics and standard tech features, making it an exceptional value proposition.

So far I have no complaints about this SUV. I love how smooth the break system is. The look of the exterior and interior are amazing. The seats are comfortable and I love that it comes equipped with Apple car play and android auto so I don’t need a cord to connect it.

Cabin is a bit noisy, wished the S line had the blind spot indicator like the higher models. Had it for a week and it’s actually okay for what I need it for.
