The subcompact SUV/crossover segment is definitely getting packed with a bunch of options. The 2021 Kia Seltos is the latest addition to the segment to take on the Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-30, Hyundai Kona, Jeep Renegade, Toyota CH-R, and Nissan Kicks. The Kia Seltos has all the coolness I love from the Kia Telluride in a smaller package - so let's take a closer look at this latest addition from Kia.

I just got the 2021 SX AWD turbo in pearl white. I wanted a dual tone, but fell in love with mine. I love the design and look of the car. I average about 25 miles to the gallon the way I drive.

[@omardrives]

Great choice - it's definitely an awesome car

[@meetmohanat]

This looks more different than india model.. i love this.. hope Kia gets almost same one..and video is very nice with all required details covered..

[@eloimumford5247]

A car is a car ...why place so much emphasis on infotainment system ? Not surprised to see so many accidents . Ok i am a driver guy not a disk jockey !

[@TheChanhn31]

KIA Seltos rear Aircon vent blowing warm air when Aircon temperature is set at 25 degree celsius and outside environmental temperature is above 34 degree celsius, their service work shop claimed that is normal. During the visit on 26 Apr 2021, inspection was carried out on the vehicle’s Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System; the values such as Ambient Temperature Sensor, Evaporator Temperature Sensor, photo sensor, In-car air temperature sensor and other related values that maintain the operation of the climatic air-conditioning system. We did not find any abnormalities in the values and all sensors and actuators are functioning normally and a diagnostic scan with the manufacturer’s diagnostic scanner did not report any diagnostic trouble codes. These data was also inspected and compared to 2 other similar vehicles and the performance was found to be similar and thus the vehicle’s air-conditioning system was judged to be operating normally. That's radiculous and silly Aircon control system

Definitely the best car videos. All info we might need. Thanks. As a suggestion, could you please include the use of car seats? This could be a great info for how have kids and is willing to buy this car. Thanks.

[@omardrives]

Thanks! You can def fit a car seat in the back without a problem

[@jayaram.ramanarayanan]

Dual tone has no sunroof? Seltos in India has sunroof in dual tone colors. Why would they remove sunroof if it is dual tone? A black roof wrap after delivery is the option if they do so.

[@atharva0777]

Hi i am also indian and waiting for new seltos

[@gg0297]

Volvo XC 40 on a budget. Nice car!

[@omardrives]

If you're wondering where I get all these questions from, follow me on Instagram - @omardrives. I do Q&A sessions every weekend and that's where I pick the top questions that make it in these videos!

[@createchannel.8730]

DO NOT BUY KIA/HYUNDAI CARS. these engines catch fire.

[@dark6c159]

I saw a brand new Hyundai caught right in front of us on our way to Vegas. I wouldn’t buy a Kia or Hyundai

[@rayepard2241]

I care about 0 to 60 times, that is one thing that sold me on the Setos... I have the Seltos SX AWD 1.6L 4cyl Turbo. Steel Gray. The braking is great also at 60 to 0 in about 118 feet, nice wide 235 tires. You can turn the welcome and farewell sounds off in the menu. The sunroof problem is just temporarily, there was a problem Kia said there but it would be available later, they were working on it. Center differential lock, torque vectoring system for this price point. I am getting 26 all around and 31 on my trips. I think it kind of compares with the Jeep Compass but way less expensive. Thanks for the review.

[@omardrives]

Appreciate that! Yea this thing is pretty peppy

[@myboyt]

Which one? This or the new civic hatch?

[@Lyndaluvsluxuries]

Excellent review

[@omardrives]

thank you!

[@bradcreber75]

That 146hp sounds terribly weak.The torque is just over 130lb. The turbo is way over priced for the class. I heard that it doesn't have LED headlights and at any trim doesn't offer a heated steering wheel. I've also heard that the 7 speed dual clutch is jerky in city driving

[@gene978]

Omar I was in our 2019 Santa Fe’ today and I love the Voice Memo’s! I don’t understand why ALL modern Automakers do not have VOICE MEMO’s. It be even better if it texted or emailed the memo to you.

[@omardrives]

haha it is pretty awesome to be honest if you have a random thought that you want to save for later

[@rahulgupta4759]

Why fucking no sunroof

[@omardrives]

If you get the two tone color option you don't get a sunroof - sucks i know

[@paulm6481]

Good looking. So many tricks and gimmicks. I just don’t trust the CVT in base or dual clutch transmissions. I spend a little more for RAV-4 or a Mazda entry.

[@sandeshsandu9562]

super😍😍😍👍👍👍

Waiting for india

[@naqihaidari6448]

Audi ...

[@Kingthin]

Sorry, you have your information TOTALLY wrong on the Mazda CX30. All of them have a 2.5 186hp engine. You might want to fact check before trying to do any comparisons.

[@robertf6343]

Hi, I know the Seltos has cross traffic alert but does it have backup warning like if you are backing out of your driveway and there is a bicycle behind you, will it alert you ?

[@abigailaries9171]

the seltos has rear cross traffic alert on higher trims

[@vishalkumar-mp9fk]

india????

[@JoeCarlBunda]

Does the sunroof open?

[@omardrives]

the two tone colors unfortunately don't get a sunroof
