Very happy with our car. All of the safety features are awesome and sometimes annoying but all in all a nice vehicle, I must say you do get a lot for your money

We got the SX Turbo, which has pros and cons. Pros: lots of tech, excellent sound system, nice lighting, fast enough. Cons: lane centering sometimes pulls you into oncoming traffic, slightly noisy cabin, mpg is far, far worse than advertised. It was advertised as 7.9l/100km on the hwy. The car is telling me it is getting 8.8l/100km, but I measured and it is actually getting about 11l/100km ON THE HIGHWAY. That is absurd, I never would have bought it knowing that. I will be filing a lawsuit soon.

Engine dies

I bought a 2021 Seltos EX. One of the nicest vehicles I have ever purchased, or so I thought. However, it has the IDLE STOP and GO, and that is the most aggravating feature I have ever had the misfortune to have to deal with. If I want my car to shut off, I will do it. When I bought the rig, I saw the name but it meant nothing and the sales team did not explain it….until I called them later asking why the engine died. There is theoretically a switch to disable this feature. However, when the car starts, the light is on, giving the impression that the override is active. However, it soon shuts off to default ON, which causes the engine to die when stopped. When pulling into a parking spot, the engine dies before you can put it in park, then restarts when you put it park. Then you have to shut it off manually. I was told the intent of ISG was to save on gas, it won’t save a gallon in a year. All it does is add to pollution on the constant restarts. I can only imagine the wear on the entire starting system. Yes, KIA, I know there is a switch, but why should I have to push it every time I drive be the car. I contacted KIA Corporate and was given the usual kiss of death from their customer service department. “I’m sorry. There is nothing we can do about that”. Had I only known before I signed. Caveat Emptor.

Can’t believe Kia was able to engineer a very reliable yet affordable car. I used to drive Japanese and American made cars and normally my brakes and tires will last only for 30,000 miles whereas with Kia Seltos, it took me 54,000 miles before I replaced them. Way to go Kia Motors. Keep up manufacturing highly reliable yet affordable cars!!!
