Most Helpful Review

Nice car

The car feels very good to drive , it has mind-blowing features, the design is very futuristic, but the mileage anc second row space needs a bit of improvement , but overall it is a good car.

Absolutely worth it

I recently bought a new Kia Seltos and I’m happy with it so far. It looks modern, drives comfortably in the city and on the highway, and the tech is easy to use. Fuel economy has been solid and the interior is practical for daily use. It’s not the most powerful or premium feeling, but for the price it offers good value. I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Does the new Seltos do enough to justify the generational upgrade? More importantly, has Kia finally addressed the ride quality concerns? We spent some time with it to find out.
