About Kia Seltos
Model overview
The Kia Seltos has a boxier SUV silhouette, but it truly shines inside with its soft-touch materials, upmarket cabin experience, and dual-infotainment screens housed in a single pane across a modern dashboard. The 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (making 158bhp/253Nm) tested by us felt smooth and responsive, while the DCT transmission performed superbly in traffic.
