Model Analysis
The 2021 Kia Seltos manages to do two opposites at the same time. On one hand, it conforms to expectations by taking on the normal shape and appearance of a smaller crossover. On the other hand, it provides new, innovative technology that most drivers aren’t going to expect to find. The Kia Seltos is a big surprise in a small package, but it’s certainly a welcome one.
Compared to other subcompact crossover SUVs, the Seltos has a better sense of style and is one of the few with two-tone paint jobs. It has plenty of interior space, more than some of the competition, making it great for big grocery trips or young families with a lot to take on long trips. The second row of seats even reclines for improved comfort most of the competitors cannot match.
