The Kia Seltos 4X is a looker with great performance.
I really enjoyed driving this beauty, in part because of the price. At $24,500, the Seltos is a speedy SUV with an engine that produces 195 horsepower.
I also love its return on my investment. The Kia Seltos delivers 25 miles per gallon in the city and 27 miles per gallon on the highway.
No matter your lifestyle, the 2024 Seltos delivers a capable driving experience with a powerful available 1.6-liter turbocharged engine that produces 195-pound-feet of torque.
It feels sporty and looks the same, with a black roof and great bright colors for the body. Part of the sportiness comes from high-utility roof rails that let you bring on gear, accessories, and more. The gloss black 18-inch wheels offer a striking appearance.
On the inside you get a great feel and design. Step inside the refreshed 2024 Seltos and experience luxurious seating materials, bold design elements, intelligent convenience features, and ample room for passengers and gear. With intention in every detail, the Seltos interior is designed to inspire new possibilities for drivers and passengers alike.
One of the great new features has to do with sound dampening. I have to say that I have had cars in the past that looked great and had a great cabin, but once you picked up any speed, it was like driving next to a freight train. The highway was a misery.
Kia thought about this in its refresh including installing sound-absorbing windshield glass for a quieter ride. That makes me happy.
The available Bose premium sound system has eight high-performance speakers, a digital amplifier, and dynamic speed compensation, which together sound amazing.
There are also available driver-centric 10.25-inch dual panoramic displays providing an intuitive touchscreen interface. Also available are heated and ventilated front seats and a smart power tailgate that makes it easier to load and unload.
As for safety, the Kia Seltos has lots of tech to keep you safe including all-wheel drive with lock mode for enhanced traction and control, blind-spot collision warning and rear cross-traffic collision-avoidance assist. So all the bells and whistles are there for you.
I really enjoyed driving the Kia Seltos. It was one that made me smile throughout my ride. I think you will enjoy it, too. Give it a spin and let me know what you think.
