Comfortable roomy interior, and nice cargo area.
CAMPJEEP, 04/14/2020
2021 Kia Seltos SX 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)
I have always been a Jeep owner and will miss the Jeep family.
I started out to get a Jeep Compass Limited for my retirement vehicle (since I don't go off-roading anymore).
For what I payed for my new 2021 Kia sx turbo I got so much more than expected in value for the cost, like when sitting in the the roomy interior of the kia (I am 6 foot tall, 240 lb ), the styling their with the … 10.3-inch navigation screen, all the driver-assistance tech, the Bose premium 8 speaker sound system looks and sounds very nice. Even the speaker grills are shaped like mountains when sitting in there, those comfortable seats for my long legs. Kias warranty.
Looking at the exterior I noticed the wheels, the attention to detail in the front and the rear styling, fit and finish of the exterior, the 28% approach and departure angles (OK) not so much for the plastic skid plates front and rear. But it dose make it look a little rugged-looking though.
The power from 0 to 60, and that (center differential lock) and torque vectoring for this price point.
I wanted to mention the best in class braking 60 to 0, this is just my opinion only.
(The 235 tires might have something to do with that.)
I am impressed with the ride and how it handles on the rough back roads, there are some pavements that are louder than others but 95% of the time it is very good for its class, it has 235 tires with 18 inch rims and is not as quiet as my 2011 Grand Cherokee Overland (Hemi) ha ha but is almost half the price and I am retired now. It dose get twice the millage though...
Remember the tires have a lot to do with road noise, stopping distance, handling and ride, (the width of the tire, its sidewall height and tread compound).
UPDATE 10/20/2021
SX AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo )
I now have 13,000 miles on the Seltos.
We have went to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park twice now myself and two grandkids and we had room for all of are stuff and no comfort complaints, It is about 7 hour trip from are home in Ohio and my back side never never had any complaints either ha ha.
The 1.6 Turbo had no problem going up Jellico Mountain on I-75, and in the Smoky Mountains it handled the US-441 Newfound Gap Road with curvy roads and steep winding curves like a champ and a 11-mile section of U.S. Route 129 there has become a hugely popular destination for motorcyclists and sports car drivers and had no problems their.
On Christmas Eve 2020 11PM it was 17 degrees and we had 6 inches of snow and I tested it out on are hilly back roads stopping half way up a hill and starting up again and it handled that with no problems. I run Firestone weathergrip touring tires.
At 9,000 miles I had it serviced and oil changed for the second time and they recalibrated the DCT transmission threw a technical service bulletin. It did shift better and I would advise asking about it, my dealer let me know with out asking...
It is not a sports car but the AWD and the1.6 turbo is very energetic while returning better then estimated fuel millage. We have got 31,32 on are road trips and 27,28 all around gas millage on regular gas.
I have tried here to give you some honest real on road driving impressions that I have had driving the Setos sense 4/2/2020. I am just really enjoying driving the Seltos SX.
