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$

This is my third lease of a KIA and second of a Seltos :) I love how it drives and was great through the winter last year! It has great gas mileage and is comfortable to drive! It also has a lot of great features! I would recommend one to anyone!

Not sure why I haven't bought a Kia before?

The supposed "cons" of this car weren't that bad. Sure it's not a V8 engine and can't take corners like a Lambo but it's just fine to drive and picks up enough to hop on a freeway without issues. I like the double screen on it and the customization. It drives smooth and even as a 6'2" 220 lb man, I think there's plenty of room and is comfortable enough. For the price and the best warranty available, so far I'm very happy wit this purchase.

It is well made, reasonably quick, and the all wheel drive w/ 8 speed tranny is very good. I like it a lot. And I like the great warranty, which I hope to never use. This vehicle has amazing bells and whistles.

Although I've only had my EX for a few months, everything is great. Thoroughly pleased with car. Wind buffeting with an open sunroof is a little annoying but cracking the rear windows solves that.
