2024 Kia Seltos Consumer Reviews
Pricing
Truly an awesome, affordable vehicle.
The Kia Seltos is a SUV gem. Tons of extras including all wheel drive, little to no road sounds while driving, heated seats, power seat for the driver, with a spacious interior and great gas mileage. I’m averaging around 34.5 miles while driving in town and on the high way. A bargain and the warranty is terrific. If your looking for a compact suv give this one a test drive.

Great styling, electronics and a joy to drive
Picked up this brand new 2024 Seltos SX with all the packages. The dash is full LCD display without the typical boring dual round speedometer and Tachometer. The display above the wheel has so much information and has a background that mimics the current weather you are in. If it is stormy, you see dark clouds with lightning. So cool! The electronics are mind blowing and haven’t figured them all out yet. It has a large 11 inch display for navigation with split screen for backup etc. It has lane assist and cruise control that keeps you a distance behind the car in front. Almost self driving but it expects your hands on the wheel and will politely signal to put your hands on the wheel. It has three modes of driving, normal, sport and smart. Very responsive off the line. It feels like you are driving a vehicle from the future. We bought this car after selling our Jeep Grand Cherokee LTD with hemi 5.7L engine. Was shocked that my first fillup was only $28.00.

Everything is perfect for me!
I love all the safety features, it even drives itself! My husband and I are both tall, he is 6'9" and fits comfortably. It has great acceleration and gas mileage so far is doing ok at 24 mpg, I have only made short local trips so far. Handling is responsive, controls are well placed and intuitive. The only thing I wish it has is a heated steering wheel. Seats are heated and cooled both.

Love my 2024 X-line!
I bought my 2024 X-line back in October and love it. I had to claw back one star for the disappointing fuel economy when I drive over 105 km/h on the highway. It is impressive up until that point but drastically drops over the 105km/h. But if you drive the speed limit you’ll be fine. Lol I’m 6-2” and so comfortable to drive. Impressive tech and pretty easy to navigate. I was hooked by the pep in its step. Tons of get up and go. No road noise and interior fit and finish is next level. I am interested to find out how the Seltos performs for the long haul. I feel the reliability and things like service and parts will play a role for the long term satisfaction and I will update. But the first taste makes me feel like I will be a long time Kia customer. UPDATE: I wrote a review on my 2024 X-line and have to update on the one star I clawed back for poor fuel economy. Since then I feel my Seltos has “broken in” and on my recent 3000km road trip I got between 6.6 and 7.5 litres/100km. I apologize to my American friends but you’d have to do the conversion to mpg. Suffice to say it improved significantly. I am very satisfied with the recent mileage. It still performs best at 90 km/h and at that the consumption continually plummets. It even can achieve 7.5 litres/100 km with the cruise set at 115 km/h. Super! The next update is a slip in the area of tech. Two issues here. One is a dealer admitted “glitch”. I had the message on my recent road trip that states oil change is due. Reset oil life after service. This message comes across my display every time I start the vehicle despite having reset the oil life on the car and the app. Not a show stopper but a bit annoying. I hope Kia figures out a fix and can update the software or whatever needs to happen. Also the Apple CarPlay occasionally glitches. It is not my cord because it charges the phone but CarPlay won’t work. It’s happened a handful of times but there is a possibility it could be my older IPhone. I’m will to accept it. The Bluetooth still works. So not debilitating. So those are the only two issues. I still love the car and would highly recommend seriously considering a Seltos if you’re in the market for a smaller SUV. My wife has a Volvo XC-40 (2022) and we both agree the Seltos is a better value for the dollar. And I don’t have to burn premium fuel. That helps the bottom line$
