    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.

    My current Kia Seltos GTX+ 1.4 turbo manual. The reason is the car being feature rich and sufficient powerful with good space. Always hits the mark of cool design of the Seltos, offering exceptional comfort and user-friendliness

    Kia Seltos for our car purchase this year. I loved the interiors so much, that it is hands down the most luxurious car for me. We took it for a test drive , it was the smoothest travel , barely felt any bumps on a rough road. Though we couldn't get it due to space and financial constraints, it is my dream car and would be next upgrade when we are ready for it.
