I bought my seltos 2022 2 month ago and was completely fine , up until I started hearing noise from my passenger sear not sure if the seat it self or just wiring it’s like ticking and it come and goes , also when I close my door I also hear noise coming from back , took it to Kia dealership and said there is nothing wrong with it , regarding features not bad comparing to other brands in the market

Traded it for a Subaru!

Pros: 1 This car is very up-to-date with interior tech. It cane with some standard safety features and wireless apple carplay. 2. It was VERY roomy, I could fit so many work equipment or Costco family groceries for a whole month's worth. 3.The MPG is actually higher than what the specs specified. Cons: 1. It handles SO POORLY! I can't take a small curve at more than 20mph. People behind me would get upset. 2. The car can only handle around 800lbs of weight inside the car. We were around 4 people in car once and the car struggled to accelerate. 3. Maintenance is hard to do by yourself. I hate the oil dipstick. It is not making it clear how much oil is in the car. 4. Less than 10000 miles and the car sounded like an old diesel engine. Apparently its not a reliable engine. You can see the poor built quality under the hood. Conclusion: This car is decent in the city and its driving style. If you plan on driving on highways and country roads often, this is not the car. Its not a comfortable or practical ride for longer distances. I traded it for a Subaru Forester!

Mini SUV

Looking to replace our Sante Fe with something a little bit smaller. Dealer suggested a Seltos, compared it to a Hyundai Tucson. Not even close. Very tiny, narrow, and underpowered. We test-drove a turbo. Not for us.

This vehicle is amazing! A great value for all the options and features it has. Drives smoothly. The features are truly unbelievable for such a fairly priced vehicle. After a good six months, the only downside we've really found is that the battery is not built for extreme cold and even on a brand new car, will not function in extreme cold.
