2021 Kia Seltos consumer reviews

I fell in love with the Seltos online. Seeing and driving the Seltos in person removed any doubts. I have now owned my Seltos for a month. I have driven in snow and dry roads with no problems at all. The all wheel drive is awesome. When I need a little performance the Seltos does not disappoint either.

I'm very pleased! Car and Driver was correct when they said if you test drove Kia 5 years ago - you owe it to yourself to give it a reconsideration now - as its not the same low quality seen at that time. Highway Driving Assist /w Auto Hold is completely awesome. Auto-headlights, excellent. Traction control and pep for the Turbo, fantastic for the fuel economy and enough to make me feel I can get out of the way quickly if needed. Very roomy interior. Road-trip worthy. If I have to give it negatives - it's louder than a luxury car on the road. It's a SUV crossover - so I expected that. My old Dodge Neon was worse. I wish auto-hold and HDA had the option to be 'on at startup'. I guess they don't want to confuse drivers without familiarity. Living in flat Florida, I enable these every time I start the car. These 'semi-autonomous features (my words not Kia) - require a 'keep hands on wheel feature'. The detection method for that triggers sometimes when I drive I-10 in a straight stretch for a few miles. When it does, I can dismiss the warning with the slightest movement of my hands. If you need to tow, make sure you can get a hitch. Kia has it in 'down under' but not here yet -- and the aftermarket has not picked it up yet.

This car is a perfect fit. Plenty of room for us. Love the cargo space and plenty of room to fit grandchildren in rear seat. Gas mileage is good. Has all the bells and whistles.
