Just bought one of these. Exactly like this one! I absolutely love it! I was looking at a RAV4 and Toyota treated us like we were wasting their time. Went into KIA and couldn’t have asked for a better salesman. Wasn’t even expecting to go to KIA but I drove by and saw the Seltos. Test drove a white one and ended up leaving with the gold one in the showroom. My girlfriend and I are in love with our new Seltos. 0-60mph in around 6 sec! Love the power and AWD handling. I honestly can’t say enough about this car!! KIA is definitely stepping up their game!! I thought I was gonna miss my Mini Cooper S, I was wrong! Sold it!

I was almost all in on the Kona until I saw you cover the Seltos at the LA auto show. Now that I've seen a full review, the design language, the higher ground clearance, the increase in interior volume, the way it handles and drives... I'm excited for this vehicle. Thanks for the great review!

Wife and I have been sold on Kia since buying a 2012 Turbo AWD Sportage. We followed up with a 2013 Rio EX and later a 2016 AWD Turbo Sportage. These vehicles are real quality in motion. The only thing that I've had to change on the Rio is a license light bulb. The check engine light came on a couple weeks ago. I bought a new fuel cap and everything is good. (That's a note: when the 'check engine light' comes on, check your fuel cap first.) Our next and third vehicle will be this Seltos! I'm excited about it. The Rio will be used as a spare to extend its life even more.

I know this is an older review but I’m considering buying this vehicle and Raitis rides is the first place I go. Excellent review though I would have liked to hear a bit more about the transmission. One thing I’d like to add. Making Lori a part of the review is a really nice addition. My favorite home electronics you tube channel has a husband and wife review team. He’s a little more tech savvy but she brings a refreshing direct opinion not clouded by numbers and specs. He reviews the equipment first and then she gives her input, uninterrupted, at the end. You two have such great chemistry that it could easily work for your channel too. Keep up the great work. Double stuffs for you.

I hear the IVT transmission in the lower trim levels is really good. Much better than current CVT’s from the Japanese manufacturers. I have never driven a dual clutch transmission but the turbo engine paired with the DCT is probably the way to go in the Seltos. 177 HP vs. 146HP seems like a no brainer. Thoughts anyone? Looking forward to this review! No zonks!! 😂

Hawkins Hill I tried both and the turbo was disappointing. Not much better than the regular engine/trans surprisingly. Same route same day back to back trial. If I planned on keeping it I would stay with the lower hp combo for reliability. Everybody is having trouble with these turbo engines. Honda/ Toyota/Ford. Mazda went better with a regular engine and a real 6speed trans(no cvt).

@@boatdesigner12 I tried them both and preferred the turbo. 2.6 seconds difference in 0-60 times (in the Kona) is much different in my book. If you can't tell the difference, you're probably not someone I'd take automotive advice from because 2.6 seconds is quite noticeable in highway merging/passing power. Also, any time anybody says "everbody" has a problem, they mean they can not substantiate a claim of belief so they attribute it to everyone.

I have this model in the same color. It’s so much fun. It’s a happy car. People smile at you! They have somehow made a sub compact that’s great for long journeys and vacations too. Love the trunk design. You can put so much stuff like hiking boots under the floor of the trunk keeping the main area neat and tidy for your suitcases. I waited for this car in this color. So nearly got the Hyundai Kona in the electric orange while waiting. When I saw this in the yellow/ black I just knew I had to have it. It is absolutely gorgeous.

Hey there Raiti's Rides. This is the first time coming across ur reviews, it was very charismatic and the attention to detail and possible buyers' interests are stated perfectly. The only suggestion I'll share with u is that sometimes I feel a little cramped when the camera tries to squeeze on the areas that you are talking about. There is a quick fix to that and it is the use of B-roll instead of entirely A-roll (or better known as the use of your main recording). I hope to see more of your well-made videos!

I was gonna buy the kia soul but after seeing this, I'm leaning more toward this new car. Hyundai and kia came a long way.

This reminds me of the Volvo XC 40... but the lower trims doesn’t look as good as the SX without those LED headlights.

I checked the Seltos out in Austin today. Nice car and great value for the features you get. I am partially disabled so the ground clearance is fantastic. Shame though no sunroof with the 2 tone colors. Lori ads a nice touch to the review. You do a great job in all your reviews Zonkman and Lori's opinion is icing on the cake or Twinkies or Ding Dongs etc.

I like the style designs of the new kias and I want to buy one but I’m not too sold on the long term reliability. My 2003 Sorento gave me a lot of problems past 130k miles.

Luis Alas They have come a long way since then. They actually test drive every vehicle that comes off the line. Every vehicle. They have made leaps and bounds in reliability. And they have a 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.

What I noticed though, inside becomes very noisy due to its engine roar especially when you accelerate.

Padid AZG. It’s not very loud, plus engine sounds waaaay better that a CR-V. No CVT transmission!! Seltos has a 7-speed DCT transmission that helps save gas.

latinbeandip Price’s are lower compared to other brands coz KIA is exporting cars that are manufactured in India... Kia started one of their largest Manufacturing plant In India and SELTOS is the first to come out of that plant.

I love what Kia is doing their their SUV's and with the new Cadenza debuting just a couple days ago, Kia is elevating their brand to a whole new level. However, I feel that if Kia is going to be successful in this "premium" market, I think that new logo would be beneficial. In my opinion, I feel that the logo takes away from the overall aesthetic of the vehicle but each their own.

Another awesome review from the Zonk man Raiti and his wife. Not sure if she’s been in a review video, but I think she’s an absolute 100% plus having her there. Really smart move including into the video. Hope to see more of this as she brings another perspective to it. You can tell these two are having a blast, they know their cars and they are smart and thoughtful. Well done. 👍👍 from me. Only suggestion is put your wallet and phone in the back pocket. 👀
