2024 Kia Seltos EX 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

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.

Everything is perfect for me!

The only thing I wish it has is a heated steering wheel. Seats are heated and cooled …
