Is the Kia Seltos an SUV?

I’m going through Kia’s lineup to find an SUV that fits my needs, but I’m confused about where the Seltos fits in. It could be a crossover, but it looks more like a full SUV to me. Is the Kia Seltos considered an SUV?

Your uncertainty is warranted! The Kia Seltos is an SUV, but it’s a subcompact vehicle which can make it seem like a crossover. That being said, the Seltos is on the larger side of the subcompact segment, making it a great choice if you want something with a little more room on the inside!
Here’s an overview of the 2023 Kia Seltos and some of the features you can expect from this subcompact SUV:
  • Starting at $24,135
  • Standard all-wheel drive
  • 146-hp 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine or optional turbocharged 175-hp 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine
  • Touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
  • Standard automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection
  • Seating for five
