The 2021 Kia Seltos was introduced to the market back in 2019 and quickly became a favorite of Quebec buyers with its bold design, impressive features, great value, remarkable performance, and value.
The 2021 Kia Seltos starts at just over $25,000 and for that price gives you impressive features right out of the gate. Seltos buyers will enjoy standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and heated front seats. You can also get all-wheel drive and 17-inch wheels for just $2,000 more. That’s a lot of features starting from the base model, and it only goes up from there.
The Seltos will also give you a sunroof, lane-keeping assist, forward collision warning, push-button start, and leather seats for less than $30,000. You can try, you won’t find another SUV with these many features in this segment for this price.
Powering the 2021 Kia Seltos is a base 2 L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 146 horsepower along with 132-pound feet of torque. This engine also has a fuel economy rating of 8.2 L per 100km in the city and 7.1 L per 100km on the highway. The fuel economy average will be less than 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres on the highway even with all-wheel drive. That means that regardless of the model you ultimately buy, you will get exceptional performance that doesn’t come at the expense of fuel economy.
If you want more power, you can opt for the available 1.6 L turbocharged 4-cylinder that delivers 175 horsepower along with 195 lb-ft of torque. This is one of the few engines in the segment that is turbocharged, and it really delivers when it comes to accelerations, performance, and fun.
Last but not least, the Kia Seltos offers 752 L of total cargo space with the rear seats in place. This makes the 2021 Kia Seltos the most spacious SUV in its segment, by far.
