Pros Multiple powertrain options Fuel-efficient Standard advanced safety features Cons All-wheel drive not available Irritating transmission	Pros Lots of helpful standard safety features Functional cabin with intuitive technology AWD standard on base trim level Cons Base engine feels underpowered Optional turbo engine suffers from low-speed turbo-lag
Reviews Summary The all-new 2023 Kia Niro offers up a fresh take on sustainable mobility. From cleanly defined exterior lines to a minimalist but eco-friendly cabin redesign (the seats are made from eucalyptus leaves!), the second-generation Niro also tops the fuel economy charts with a best-in-class 53 mpg combined.
Reviews Summary The Kia Seltos was first introduced for the 2021 model year and instantly made waves in the subcompact SUV segment. It was impressively spacious and offered plenty of headroom and legroom, even for second-row occupants. These were novel concepts in this small-crossover segment. The Seltos also delivered plenty of standard features and easy-to-use technology. Three years on, and the Seltos is enjoying its first mid-cycle refresh. Though it’s largely the same Seltos as before, it gains fresh styling as well as updated technology. Such tweaks can go a long way, and automakers endeavor to make unseen changes that contribute to the overall driving experience.
