I want to buy a new car and I think a compact SUV will work for my wife and I. I’ve driven a Kia Stinger for the last few years and I’d love to stick with the Kia brand. Is the Kia Seltos a compact SUV?
The Seltos first became available in mid-2019 in South Korea, and in 2021 in North America and is positioned between the Kia Soul and the Kia Sportage.
While these three Kia models get fairly similar fuel economy, the Seltos is more reliable than the Soul and also offers daytime running lights. However, the Sportage is sportier—it accelerates much faster than the Seltos and the Soul.
The Sportage also rates higher for reliability than both the Seltos and the Soul.
