Used 2024 Kia Seltos for Sale nearAlexandria, VA

How much does the 2024 Kia Seltos cost?

Prices have softened 3.21% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.

There are 2,510 listings available, which gives you a healthy pool of options to compare.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Kia Seltos earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its features, comfort, handling, spaciousness, and safety options, and many also like the stylish design. In practical terms, that lines up with a small crossover that feels easy to live with and well equipped for the class.

The main trade-offs are the base engine’s underpowered feel and the optional turbo engine’s low-speed lag. Even so, the Seltos’ roomy cabin and approachable technology make it a strong fit if you want a small SUV that feels more useful than its footprint suggests.

Good and great deals account for 36.1% of listings, so there is still room to shop selectively.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with repeated praise for comfort, features, and the sense that the vehicle is easy to count on day to day. That kind of response usually matters most if you plan to keep the vehicle for several years.

The expert evaluation also emphasizes the Seltos’ well-rounded nature and its practical, easy-to-live-with character. Kia backs it with a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty, which adds another layer of reassurance for used buyers.

For long-term ownership, the biggest risk is choosing a poorly maintained example, so a careful inspection and service-history review matter more than chasing the lowest sticker price.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Seltos?

Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

You should still check the history report on every candidate, because accident-free listings are strong but not universal. Prioritize a pre-purchase inspection if you are considering a higher-mileage example or one with incomplete service records. Focus on overall condition, how the drivetrain feels in normal driving, and whether the features you want are actually present on the trim you are shopping.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX starts with 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, manually adjustable front seats, two USB ports, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, Bluetooth, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The S adds fog lights, LED daytime running lights, silver roof rails, heated side mirrors with integrated turn signals, a larger fully digital instrument panel, LED cabin lighting, combination cloth-and-synthetic leather upholstery, single-zone automatic climate control, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. The EX adds synthetic leather upholstery, a 10-way power driver’s seat, heated front seats, and wireless charging. The X-Line adds 18-inch gloss-black wheels and darker styling touches but loses wireless charging and the power-adjustable driver’s seat. The SX adds LED bi-function headlights, LED fog lights, an electrochromatic rearview mirror, a rear cargo cover, a power driver’s seat, a leather-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, and a Bose premium stereo. The best-value trim is often the S if you want a meaningful step up in equipment without jumping too far in price.
• Powertrain: The base setup uses a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque, paired with an IVT. The LX comes standard with AWD, while the S and EX can be had with FWD or AWD. The X-Line and SX use a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder with 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and standard AWD. The base engine is the efficiency play, while the turbo setup is the stronger choice if you want more passing power.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance includes forward collision avoidance with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, lane-follow assist, automatic high beams, and driver attention warning. The S adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Safe Exit Warning. The SX adds smart cruise control with stop-and-go capability, navigation-based curve prediction, traffic sign recognition, highway driving assist, junction-turning support for forward collision warning, and drive-away warning. The biggest safety-feature gap is that you have to move well up the lineup to get the more advanced driver-assistance tech.
• Infotainment: The base setup uses an 8-inch touchscreen with a 4.2-inch digital instrument screen, while every trim except the LX upgrades to a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument panel and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included, and the system keeps physical volume and tuning controls. The larger screen is the better pick if you want the most modern-feeling cabin.
• Fuel efficiency: The base 2.0-liter engine with FWD returns 28 mpg city, 34 highway, and 31 combined. With AWD, it returns 27 mpg city, 31 highway, and 29 combined. The turbocharged 1.6-liter with AWD returns 25 mpg city, 27 highway, and 26 combined.

Which 2024 Kia Seltos trim should I buy?

The 2024 Kia Seltos is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, S, EX, X-Line, and SX.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the entry point, and it gives you standard AWD, the 2.0-liter engine, and the core tech and safety basics. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Seltos and value standard AWD more than extra comfort or convenience features.
• S: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the larger digital display, more upscale interior materials, climate control, and useful exterior upgrades without jumping all the way to the higher-priced trims. If you want the strongest balance of price and equipment, this is the one to focus on.
• EX: Choose this if you want a more comfort-oriented setup, including synthetic leather, heated front seats, a power driver’s seat, and wireless charging. It is the trim to target if daily comfort matters more than chasing the lowest price.
• X-Line: This trim is mainly about styling and the turbo powertrain, with standard AWD and a more distinctive look. It also gives up some convenience equipment, so it makes the most sense if you want the stronger engine and the appearance package.
• SX: This is the top choice if you want the most features, including the upgraded stereo, more lighting equipment, and the most advanced driver-assistance tech. It is the right pick if you want the most complete Seltos experience and are willing to pay for it.

The safety package expands as you move up the lineup, with the most advanced driver-assistance features reserved for the SX.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Seltos?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile listings.

• Deal availability: 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 2,510 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 3.21% compared with last year.
• Clean inventory: 89.4% of listings are accident-free.

If you find a listing below $22,392, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Kia Seltos's resale value?

The current average of $22,778 sits slightly below last year's $23,534.

That decline suggests the market has become a bit more favorable for buyers, but it also means a future seller may need to price competitively to stand out. If you buy well now, you may have less downside risk than someone who paid closer to last year’s average.

The year-round range is fairly tight, which usually points to a market that is still active but not overheated. For resale, that can help if you keep the vehicle in strong condition and choose a trim that has broad appeal.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos safe?

The 2024 Kia Seltos earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Standard driver assistance features include forward collision avoidance with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane-departure warning, lane-follow assist, automatic high beams, and driver attention warning. The S trim adds blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Safe Exit Warning. The SX adds smart cruise control with stop-and-go capability, navigation-based curve prediction, traffic sign recognition, highway driving assist, junction-turning support for forward collision warning, and drive-away warning.

The main safety caveat is that the more advanced driver-assistance features are not standard across the lineup, so you need to move up to higher trims to get the fullest suite. That makes trim choice especially important if safety tech is a priority for you.

Should I buy a 2024 Kia Seltos or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 36.1% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is solid at 89.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.
• Prices have softened 3.21% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model adds refreshed styling and updated technology while keeping the Seltos’ roomy cabin and easy-to-use layout.

The bottom line: If you want the refreshed version with updated tech and styling, the 2024 is the better all-around pick. If your main goal is to minimize upfront cost, a nearby year may be worth comparing, but the 2024’s combination of inventory, softened pricing, and strong owner satisfaction makes it the safer default choice for most used buyers.
