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

Across all model years, accident-free inventory is solid at 87.4% — always verify the vehicle history report.

Older model years carry meaningfully higher accident rates, so always verify the vehicle history report on pre-2022 models.

Key things to evaluate:

• Safety package: Forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking with intersection turning assist, front and rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and lane-centering assist are standard on all trim levels.
• Infotainment: The infotainment system features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, SiriusXM satellite radio, and Kia Connect connected services.
• Fuel efficiency: In the meantime, for those who can’t wait and don’t mind the X-Line SX’s official EPA fuel economy rating of 26 mpg in combined city and highway driving, we think it’s satisfying to drive. In Normal mode, it averaged 26.5 mpg on our Southern California fuel-economy evaluation route, which is a 50:50 mix of city and highway driving in a relatively flat area.

Which Kia Seltos trim should I buy?

The 2027 Kia Seltos offers these trims:

• LX: The entry trim uses front-wheel drive and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, and it gives you the core Seltos formula at the lowest price point.
• S: This trim adds a more appealing value balance, and it is the best-value choice if you want a stronger mix of equipment and everyday usability.
• EX: A smart step up if you want more comfort and convenience while staying with the standard powertrain.
• X-Line S: This trim adds standard all-wheel drive and a tougher-looking appearance.
• X-Line SX: The top trim brings the turbocharged 1.6-liter engine, eight-speed automatic, torque-vectoring AWD with 4WD Lock, Terrain mode, 19-inch wheels, and 8.1 inches of ground clearance.

What Kia Seltos do most buyers choose?

The Kia Seltos years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Those higher-volume years tend to be popular because they combine broad availability with the features and updates many shoppers want. They also give you more choices across price points, which makes it easier to compare condition, mileage, and equipment.

What is the Kia Seltos's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the model years listed, which can work in your favor if you're shopping used. The largest drops are on the older years, while the newer years have moved down more gradually. That makes the recent model years especially worth watching if you want a newer Seltos at a softer price.

The 2024, 2025, and 2023 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

Is the Kia Seltos safe?

• 2027: 8/10
• 2024: 9/10
• 2022: 9/10
• 2021: 8/10

Forward-collision warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, automatic emergency braking with intersection turning assist, front and rear parking sensors, lane-departure warning, lane-keep assist, and lane-centering assist are standard on all trim levels.

For the safest used buy, the 2022 and 2024 models both post the highest confirmed score of 9/10.
