2021 Kia Seltos: Low-cost Fashion and Function
Any new KIA SUV nowadays seems to get a lot of attention with good reason. First the Telluride, next the new Sorento gets revealed, then the official release of this 2021 Kia Seltos..and they're all very impressive and offer more than many people expected.
This new Kia Seltos is a great size without being too small or too big, but it offers a lot of interior passenger and cargo space. Hard plastics fill the cabin, but aside from that..it's a very nice vehicle for this class.
The Seltos is available with two engines, which are tied to trim level.
The LX, EX and S are powered by a 2.0-liter inline-four good for 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque – a modest amount consistent with subcompact crossovers. The S is the only trim that can be had with front- or all-wheel drive, while every other trim level is AWD only. The base engine is always paired with a continuously variable transmission (dubbed "IVT") that simulates gear ratios. Fuel economy is 27 mpg city, 31 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined with AWD and 29/34/31 with the FWD S trim.
The S Turbo and SX Turbo have a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four that pumps out 175 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque – an amount consistent with bigger, pricier crossovers. It comes only with all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated manual. Fuel economy takes a hit at 25/30/27, which is also comparable to those bigger, pricier crossovers.
