Kia got right!

Just leased out from my 2021 passport into a kia seltos. It's perfect for what it is. Considering current interest rates it was very affordable. It's everything I need it to be. Small but capable, infotainment better than expected so really the car is everythingyou need it to be. It's not not much different than a mini skirt. Long enough to cover the subject, but short enough to keep thing's interesting..

Nice car, but ...

Just traded in our 2021 Kicks SV for a 2024 Seltos EX. The Seltos is a sharp looking car with tons of tech, it's literally like driving in a computer around town. It rides nice, is quieter than our Kicks was but... I miss my Kicks already. My wife wanted the Seltos, got it in Pluton Blue and the dealer included pinstripe, tinted glass and free oil changes for life. So why do I like the Kicks better? Adaptive cruise control, brake hold, and comfortable cloth seats compared to faux leather (vinyl) seats. I think Kia should spend less on the computer bells and whistles and put adaptive cruise control and brake hold in their middle trim package like Nissan did for the Kicks. IMO, those 2 features make all the difference in enjoying driving short or long distances. The lane control feature is too corrective as I think I'm going to cancel it and after trying the self driving mode I found it way too sluggish, I actually didn't feel safe. I do like the interior size, it's wider and roomier than the Kicks and does offer driver's side power seats which is nice, as well as heated front seats. It has good acceleration and a smooth quiet drive. Steering is stiff but I like the smoothness of the wheel cover. I can't say enough about the dash display, but you should just go test drive one to see for yourself. Again, I would have gone with a new Nissan Kicks but it was the wife's turn to choose our new car.

Traded my 2019 Sportage for 2024 Seltos S

So happy with my Seltos S. Was originally looking to trade for another Sportage, but just couldn't find what I wanted. Then the dealer suggested I test drive the Seltos. So glad I did, it had everything I was looking for and more. The Seltos is typical of the KIA brand with a quiet ride. Great gas milage, awesome info/entertainment system. Love the cloth & Syn text seat material. Black and blue color is very eye catching. Think I will enjoy this SUV for a long time.

High quality and fun to drive. Only negative I have is it should have a larger gas tank (16 gal. in stead of 13).

Not worth it

My brand new Kia Seltos SX trim gives a loud humming noise very often. And today I found that the digital display did not work when I started my car after 1 day. Probably because of the chilly Chicago weather not sure though.
