The All-New 2021 Kia Seltos Packs a Punch! | Detailed Review

Any new KIA SUV nowadays seems to get a lot of attention with good reason. First the Telluride, next the new Sorento gets revealed, then the official release of this 2021 Kia Seltos..and they're all very impressive and offer more than many people expected. This new Kia Seltos is a great size without being too small or too big, but it offers a lot of interior passenger and cargo space. Hard plastics fill the cabin, but aside from that..it's a very nice vehicle for this class. This 2021 Kia Seltos EX is my trim level of choice thanks to it's great value and naturally aspirated engine, but a Turbo can be had on the S and SX. Compared to Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, and literally any other suv this competes with..it does very well.

What do you think of the Seltos? It impressed me with its space, features, and overall package for the price and size. *Thank you for watching and have a great day!*

[@lance_r72]

I like it. Im thinking with my back the height may be just right.

[@bextar6365]

Overall I like my new Santa Fe much better for the same price....

[@racheec2398]

It's nice. Im looking for more back/cargo space. I wish the back seats would fold down flat - same issue in my KIA Soul. Back area is my huskeys area ;*)

[@JoeE.]

I don't like the front design. It looks they patch it up with uncohesive shapes and materials that don't turn out great. The side profile looks like the Nissan Kicks.

[@andygranatelli8809]

I liked it so much I bought 2 of them. Both SX Turbos.

[@landbaron1944]

Wife just bought S Turbo a month ago. 1500 miles later, she loves it. Great power and more room on the inside than you would think, and she gets compliments all the time on the looks. And, lowest MPG yet is 27 and best 34! NO BS! I think the EPA under rated this vehicle. She traded 2016 Sportage, which never had any problems with. Kia simply makes a great product for the $.

[@cdubbleyoo]

Auto or AWD? I'd like something with AWD and some ground clearance for winter, but also want to get at least 30mpg combined. Right now I'm considering a used Volt or Optima Hybrid and an old 4WD. It would be nice to be able to only get one vehicle to handle both needs.

I have a 2018 Nissan Maxima which I love but it’s just to big for me and when I need to haul something or put my bike inside the car ...I have to take my wheel off...I won’t need to with this vehicle. I’m giving up some bells and whistles but gaining different ones as well. Good review! I am buying this vehicle.

[@slingshot1961]

What a value. I am coming from a 1st and 2nd generation Honda CRV. Those cars rocked! The Seltos has about the same room and rides much better. Not sure I will get the 20 years I got out of my 1st gen CRV, but from what I have experienced so far, KIA did a really great job on the Seltos. Lots of room, both in the back, front, and middle, and I'm 6 feet tall. I love the features and comfort. All for just over 22 grand! It's a pleasure to drive. Don't worry about the road noise. The CRV's were allot louder, and nobody made much of an issue about that. I mean CRV's were ALLOT louder. This is one of those rare cars that gives you a huge bang for the buck. If you want a luxury car go buy one, but if you want a great all around car with great utility, I think we found a winner!

We got the Neptune Blue, and named her Navi, as we're also huge Zelda fans! This is out 3rd Kia in 6 years and we are super happy with the offers they have, the other 2 are Souls, and we'll keep going back to Kia for cars in the future.

I still feel like I'm in a larger vehicle! Love the features for the price. My only issue is that I'm having a problem with the Bluetooth. After tons of trouble shooting. It's going in to the shop on Monday. Other than that, it's literally the most fun vehicle I've ever driven.

I didnt get the mud flaps but Costco made me get the paint protection option so , ok ) . Still nothing els I tested that I liked came even close to the price, and the Adaptive cruse is amazing . Other vehicles I tested and researched that didn't get my sale for all different reasons include Mazda CX-30 C-x5, Ford Bronco 1.5, Sub Forrester an Cross Trek , 21 kia sorento fWD. Nis rogue.Hyundai Santa Fe and Kohna AWD. Seltos was a winner for me out of all of those others. under 40 K was my goal and I came away 11k under budget!

[@billjordan1173]

Purchased one of these in February when I took my Soul in for an oil change, and saw the Seltos in the showroom. Had no intention of getting another car, but the Seltos resolved the one thing I didn't like about the Soul, and that was lack of cargo space with the seats up. I wanted more, but didn't need tons more (just wanted my golf equipment to fit nicely, which it does), so the Seltos fit right in the slot I was looking for. As far as I'm concerned, the ONLY competitor in its class, when you consider cargo space, is the Suby Crosstrek. But the Kia is cheaper, gets a little better gas mileage in the FWD version (which is what I got), and has the better warranty. However, my wife has a fully-loaded 2018 Crosstrek, and it does drive a bit smoother than the Kia, but I find the Kia seats a little more comfortable. Both are nice vehicles, and I have no regrets about buying the Kia. I bought the 'S' trim, which is the only one you can get FWD in, and it has all the bells and whistles I need. Blind-spot monitoring would have been nice, but I've been driving for 43 years without it and haven't sideswiped anyone yet (came close a time or two), so it wasn't a deal-breaker.

[@lavapop1900]

Can I ask you why did you go for the FWD instead of the AWD?

[@indofokinfolkfoo3448]

How’s the warranty

[@billjordan1173]

@@lavapop1900 A bit late for this reply. Sorry, but I never saw your question until now. I'll respond just for the benefit of anyone else who might look at this thread. I went for FWD because it gets slightly better gas mileage (according to estimates) and was less expensive, and I don't need AWD, as my wife has an AWD vehicle and I just stay home when the weather is bad anyway. I also figured it was less stuff that could break, though that isn't based on any mechanical knowledge. Essentially, it was price and better gas mileage.

[@billjordan1173]

@@indofokinfolkfoo3448 In the U.S., it's one of the best out there (5 yr/60k overall and 10yr/100k on powertrain), but I have no idea how easy it is to get work done under warranty since I've not had to do it. Still loving the car though.

Excellent review, impressed with your real world thoroughness. The one bad part of the Kia isn't the vehicles plastic though, it's the dealers. After visiting the Kia website and requesting a quote from 5 different dealers I received replies that failed to give me any of the quotes I requested, just bs remarks like, "...none of our Kia Seltos' sell for the MSRP..." or "...we don't have any vehicles in stock..." Good car with lousy dealers equals no sale to me. I work too hard to be treated like a that. Kia should get sales people match their cars.

[@SINYC02]

I stood next to a Kona the other day and according to my search it’s 61” in height while the Seltos is ~64” in height but it looks like this car is right around neck level for you. I was thinking the Kona feels more like a sedans height with a hatchback. The difference of a few inches isn’t much but it does seem taller.

[@darvelbidenisapuppet7275]

The Kona is quieter and less roomy inside and less ground clearance with no locking AWD or down hill breaking assist, Kona is better for road only or if you don't need the inside.

[@thomasmcdowell9057]

A good comprehensive review! Great job. In the S trim FWD, it is real competition for the Soul EX which is high on my list for my next car. The Soul EX includes more equipment that I want than the Seltos S and it amazed me to see that they have almost the same fuel economy. What the S does not have (but the Soul EX has) includes these: 10" screen, heated power driver seat, dual auto climate control, Sirius XM radio, smart key push button start, blind spot/rear cross traffic alerts, plus some other minor things). Oooooops, maybe the Soul is better for me since I do not want or need AWD. I actually like the look of the Seltos more and it has a bit more storage in back. So no decision yet and I will try to drive them back to back.

[@PrimeAutotainment]

Thank you Thomas! Those extra features on the soul are definitely nice and it’s a great value too. Definitely a tough decision. I’d you drive them let me know what you think! 👍

[@billjordan1173]

The Soul is an excellent vehicle, as I had one prior to my Seltos, but you might eventually start wishing you had a bit more cargo space on those trips to the grocery store and other shopping trips (and if you golf). I know the specs don't show that the cargo space in the Seltos is that much bigger, but it sure seems significantly bigger in usage.

Nice review. Nice little SUV. What sucks is that the Kia Seltos also comes with a diesel engine but are not sold in America. Imagine if they did.

I like the S trim the best, since I hate the push-button start proximity sense systems (give me a regular key & manual remote any day), don't like sunroofs (& the likely problems they bring later on) & I want a regular pull-brake parking brake instead of an eBrake parking brake system. Thinking about picking a Seltos S trim up in 2022 & trading in my 2020 Corolla SE sedan (which has all the hated features that I mentioned). Most cars today are loaded with way too much stupid and/or gimmicky tech-bloat. Steel Gray is easily the best color in KIA's lineup.

I love mine. Dark Ocean Blue! ♥️

Please, for the love of all that is good and inexpensive (like Kia) - share the merits of this model and why you enjoy it so much. There seems to be a lot of haters commenting everywhere and they go into great detail about their distaste. But it would be refreshing to hear about someone who is satisfied with their Seltos! Have owned a 2010 Sportage Active for the past 6 years and never had a single problem with any aspect of the car, be it motor, transmission or in general. Thinking of buying a Seltos soon.

were the front seats all the way back? I just like to use that as a baseline for the backseat leg room

4:57 The reason I watched this video. I live in my car... out of choice. Thank you.

My pet peeve is the road noise. I love long drives and after 3 to 8 hours I'd feel so tired at the end of the day due to the constant noise level. Great review, great looking car & features. but a "Hard No" for me due to the noise. Perhaps with softer materials instead of cheap hard plastic will reduce the noises.

ours was a bit noisy when new but it was mostly tyre noise - as it settled down once the tyres had some use ...so the tyre choice is the issue

Picking up ours this weekend. Black Cherry LX.
