    Our kia Seltos' 1.6-liter turbo charged I-4 is one of the most sorted powertrains of the subcompact SUV market. Kia has done a quality job turning this 175-hp engine into a smooth operator that will please most drivers. Despite being small, the engine is responsive and torquey, exhibiting minimal lag.

    Kia Seltos was one of the cars I wanted to purchase, because it delivers premium features for a mid-range price. I bought this car two years ago and the only complaint I have about this is it has a bit high maintenance costs. The car otherwise is good both for City errands and a roadtrip. You can have all the comfort you want, while driving with the power of a real SUV.

    It is the best SUV that I have driven in a long time. Good ground clearance. Slight low on power delivery in first two gears but later on it just flies. Amazing leg space and value for money.
