As a compact urban SUV introduced back in 2019, the Kia Seltos didn't need many improvements but Kia still has made some adjustments and improvements on its 2023 Seltos. The Seltos is better in every way but it doesn't change what has made the Kia entry-level SUV successful since it launched.
The Seltos is perhaps the only small SUV that feels like a utility vehicle despite being one of the most spacious and versatile models in its class. There is a lot of space around you as you drive high above the ground. As opposed to some of its competitors, which are essentially hatchbacks with increased ground clearance, the Seltos is an affordable sport utility vehicle that is ideal both for a growing family as well as those who lead an active lifestyle.
There are two engines available for the 2023 Kia Seltos. First, there is a 2 litre Atkinson Cycle 4-cylinder engine rated at 146 horsepower and 132 pound-feet of torque. A continuously variable automatic transmission is standard with this engine, delivering a fuel efficiency rating of 8.8L per 100 kilometres in the city and 7.6L per 100 kilometres on the highway even when equipped with all-wheel drive. Front-wheel-drive models have even lower fuel consumption and are even more efficient.
If you are looking for greater performance, you can choose a 1.6 L turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces 175 horsepower and 196 pound-feet of torque. While delivering better performance than any other vehicle in this class, this engine is also highly fuel-efficient with an average consumption rating of less than 10 litres per 100 kilometres.
The 2023 Kia Seltos will leave you with plenty of room for your bags, shopping, or trips to the beach, regardless of which engine is powering the car. With all seats in place, the all-new Kia Seltos offers 752 litres of cargo space, making it more spacious than the Honda HR-V, the Mazda CX-30, the Hyundai Kona, or the Nissan Qashqai.
