It’s hard to beat the attractive price and good looks of the Kia Seltos. This subcompact SUV outperforms its rivals in cargo space, and offers a solid base of fundamentals that have become indispensable to modern drivers. Let’s explore some reasons why you should test drive the 2025 Kia Seltos.
7 Reasons to Test Drive the 2025 Kia Seltos
1. Multiple Engine Options
The Seltos offers two engine choices. The standard engine is a 2.0L four-cylinder that generates 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque. It pairs with a CVT. For a boost in speed and power, there’s an available 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 190 horsepower and 196 lb-ft of torque. It now pairs with an 8-speed automatic.
2. Available AWD with Lock Mode
If you live in an area where weather and road conditions vary considerably, you’ll appreciate the Seltos’ available all-wheel drive system. It actively monitors for wheel slippage and sends torque to the rear wheels when needed. It also has a Lock Mode, which allows you to manually engage a 50/50 power split between the front and rear wheels for maximum traction.
3. High Ground Clearance
With a ground clearance of 7.3 inches, the 2025 Seltos is one of the most capable subcompact SUVs. This extra clearance makes a big difference when navigating uneven surfaces or steep driveways. It also contributes to excellent forward visibility.
4. Generous Interior Space
The 2025 Seltos has a best-in-class cargo volume of 26.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats, and 62.8 cubic feet when the seats are folded. Passenger space is equally generous, with 38 inches of rear legroom. This makes the Seltos perfect for small families or those that need to carry a lot of gear.
5. Advanced Driver Assistance Features
The Seltos features Kia’s Drive Wise suite of advanced safety systems, many of which are standard across all trims. These include Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Lane Following Assist, Driver Attention Warning, and Rear Occupant Alert. Higher trims include additional features such as Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist.
6. Smart Convenience Features
The 2025 Seltos introduces more standard convenience features across the lineup. All trims have push-button start and remote keyless entry. They also have remote start capabilities through the Kia Access app. A power liftgate is standard on EX and higher.
7. Optional Bose Audio System
The standard audio system in the Seltos is a 6-speaker stereo. However, a premium 8-speaker Bose audio system is an available upgrade that adds a new level of richness and depth to your driving experience.
The Kia Seltos is the ideal everyday vehicle, offering efficient power, strong traction, a spacious interior, and advanced technology. Get started on your test drive today at Kia of Coatesville in Coatesville, PA.
