In truth, for a vehicle weighing ~ 3200 lbs., AWD, with a 1.6T engine rated at 175 HP; it's more than sufficient power for normal everyday driving. Moreover, merging onto interstates would pose no problem at all. Beyond the aforesaid points: a Bose system, great cargo space, leather seats and a 5-year warranty - all for $ 29.6K. It would be very hard for an astute consumer not to consider this vehicle.

Just bought a 2023 Kia Seltos SX (Gravity Grey), which is like the 2022. My wife and I love our Seltos. A couple of things about the review that I would like to mention. I drove a Mazda and found the Kia infotainment center much more robust. The navigation was much better than what I found in the Mazda, which couldn't find a number of addresses I searched for. Also, the rear seats recline one step (about 1 1/2 inch to 2 inches). You can also lower the rear seats from the rear doors instead of through the cargo area. The floor of the cargo area also comes out and allows you to lower it by about 2 inches, giving you more storage space. I also liked the dash graphics better in the Kia over a lot of the vehicles I looked at. Much more modern. The 2023 does have the option for the sun roof at an additional $700.00. All-in-all, we paid just over $33,000.00 for our Seltos SX after shipping, taxes, licensing, and dealer fees. Again, we love our Seltos and I'm considering trading in my pickup truck for another one in the next couple of years. Thanks.

I was going for the SX, but they told me to wait 6 months for it, so I have settled for an EX, and saved myself around $2,000, though I had to give up on some of the features like mood lighting, bose stereo, Cargo Door Cover, and a few more, but I would like to point out some errors that Joe mentioned... Though I am picky here... Only the SX comes with the LED headlight and LED fog lights. Anything below, it comes with halogen headlights and projector beam fog lights. Also, sunroof is a $700 option on the SX, although it comes standard on an EX(so if you have a fully loaded SX with every option in the book, sunroof should be included in it, unless you are buying two tone paint). I love my 2022 seltos EX(I bought it in snow white pearl), and since I am no street racer, nor care for much for power,(though I DID have a larger car, an aging 2008 Grand Prix V6, which is a much larger engine, but I wanted to go with something smaller this time) I am happy with my purchase... and as a very few, old fashioned guy who ABSOLUTELY HATES electric cars, I am happy with my purchase before everything turns electric. Just something I have noticed while watching the vid, but as always, great vid...

Oh, and btw, I may be late on the convenience feature of modern cars, since my old Pontiac didn't have it, I find the center armrest that you can move forward and back to be very comfortable. No reviewers really cover on that, since I guess most of the new cars have it these days, so it maybe an old feature now, but it came with my EX, so, another feature I love about my car... Though it doesn't have the sun-visor extension plastic that my wife's 2013 sorento has, but usual, simple extendable visor itself of the Seltos is good enough for me... Hopefully, Seltos does NOT become electric for a while. I am so happy with my purchase, and it's the last car I want to see it become electrified... To me, cars are NOT cars without engines... I LOVE to hear the engine note, not some lame batteries that makes them APPLIANCES... I am one of the very few minors who ABSOLUTELY HATES all electric cars... You may all hate me for saying that, and say something like, you have to think about environment, and it will all change to electric anyway, but I am really not a fan of that trend...

Hi Joe, I test drove the Seltos today. The SX, which they said was the “top trim”. As you aptly pointed out, a lot of hard plastic inside. Seemed cheap looking. And What the heck, NO SUNROOF???? The dealer offered to have one put in ‘aftermarket’….yeah sure! This is a major ZONK. Makes the fake exhaust outlets in the back look like baby zonks, not “zonk squared”. But my biggest Z was the driving experience. That DCT is just jerky when going on throttle…..just like the VW Taos, that I drove yesterday. No thanks to these 2 cars. I am whittling down the choices, which all seem to be pushing me back to the Mazda! 5? 30? Or 50? Another tough decision. In the meantime, will keep watching your reviews! Thanks as always!

The SX models that include the sunroof package have a sunroof. It’s kind of like when you buy a car with automatic high beams and it subsequently comes with automatic high beams.

It’s not cushy soft, but in this class, you don’t expect that and the Kona’s ride is better than several vehicles I have driven. Same goes for my wife’s 23 Seltos SX AWD. Very comfortable ride and not rough at all.

I just bought a 2023 and it does have a sunroof.

It's a nice car but a bit overstyled. I feel like it, like many other Kia models, isn't gonna age well. We're gonna look at this in 15 years like we look at a first gen Sportage. Really love the Telluride though. I wouldn't get the CX30 either but in this class, I'd probably go with a Corolla Cross.

My wife drives a Telluride and what a ride it is. A great car in every respect.

Sucks it’s so hard to find these at the dealer. I called 2 in my area and they only have 2 at each

How does this compare to a VW Taos?

The backseat commentary...LMAO! Poor pocketless, cast-off children. Haha! Great review. I'm looking into one of these myself.

Mark-ups on Seltos are ridiculous, OTD they sell for more $ than the Sportage, makes zero sense. Kia Soul is basically the same car with different looks and costs much less.

And almost no ground clearance. My Nissan Versa sedan has more ground clearance than the Kia Soul 💀

They get placed in the same category far too often. In reality, the Kicks looks like a cheap toy next to the Seltos and is significantly smaller. If a stripped down economy car look and feel is what you are going for, the Kicks would definitely be a top contender.

I would be interested to know how it compares to the Mazda CX-30 2.5S Preferred Package AWD because then they both would have similar horsepower and similar torque
