Your Guide to the 2023 Kia Seltos

The Seltos may be a subcompact SUV, but it leaves a big impression with an expansive interior, lots of cargo space, and a long list of standard features. Get to know the 2023 Kia Seltos in our comprehensive guide, then stop by for your test drive.

Performance and Fuel Economy

The Seltos LX, S, and EX are powered by a four-cylinder engine that gets 146 horsepower, along with a continuously variable automatic transmission. If you go for the Nightfall Edition or the SX trim, you’ll enjoy the acceleration of the 175-hp turbo-four, which comes with a seven-speed automatic. Both configurations offer impressive power and sharp, smooth handling, so it’s fun to drive on urban streets and stretches of highway alike.

All trims have standard all-wheel drive, but you can get the S with front-wheel drive if you prefer. That combination gets an EPA-estimated 29 city and 35 highway miles per gallon, among the best numbers in the class. The all-wheel drive Seltos with the base engine gets 27 city and 31 highway mpg, compared to 25 city and 30 highway mpg with the upgraded engine.

Technology and Convenience Features

You’ll find the latest and greatest tech features in the 2023 Seltos, from the standard 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity to available wireless device charging. Remote keyless entry also comes in every Seltos trim.

Available upgrades include remote start, push-button start, proximity keyless entry, and automatic climate control. You can also upgrade to a larger 10.3-inch touchscreen, which comes with integrated navigation.

Interior Space

The Seltos ranks near the top of the subcompact class in the cargo room. You can access almost 63 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat and 26.6 cubic feet with the second row in the upright position. Passengers also have plenty of space, especially compared to the headroom and legroom you’ll find in competing crossovers.

You have several attractive options available to upgrade this Kia’s cabin appearance. Available features in this category include a sunroof, synthetic leather upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, and heated front driver and passenger seats.

Safety and Driver Assistance

The Seltos received the highest rating available from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in all six of the agency’s crash tests. This subcompact comes with a generous list of driver assistance features like rear-seat alert, automatic high beams, lane departure warning, forward automatic emergency braking, a driver drowsiness monitor, and a rearview camera. You can even add highway driving assist, adaptive cruise control, and cyclist detection.

This small crossover provides an exceptional value. Get behind the wheel of the 2023 Seltos today when you visit Coughlin Kia of Lancaster for your test drive.
