5 Reasons the 2021 Kia Seltos Should Be On Your Radar

The Kia Seltos is a new addition to the compact SUV market, but this versatile vehicle is already garnering positive reviews for its fresh styling, spacious interior, and agile handling. If the 2021 Kia Seltos isn’t already on your radar, discover why it should be.

1. Customizable Exterior

The 2021 Kia Seltos is available in five trim levels and up to 12 color combinations, so you can select the one that suits you best. Further customize your ride with two-tone paint options and exterior features such as a sunroof, roof rails, LED lighting, a rear spoiler, privacy glass, and 17- or 18-inch machine finish wheels. Overall, it’s a sporty yet rugged small SUV that stands out from the competition.

2. Fuel Efficiency

You can expect class-topping gas mileage from the Seltos. The 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine with front-wheel drive gets an estimated 34 mpg on the highway. The all-wheel drive option lowers that figure only slightly to 32 mpg. Fuel efficiency is still around 30 mpg highway on the two turbo trims, which come equipped with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder turbo engine that generates 175 horsepower.

3. Extremely Spacious

One of the Kia Seltos’ best qualities is the amount of passenger and cargo space it offers for an SUV of its size. Its boxy shape means both front and rear passengers get plenty of head and legroom. Four adults can travel very comfortably and with room to spare. Its 26.6 cubic feet of cargo space balloons to an impressive 62.8 cubic feet when you fold the rear seats down. You can also lower the cargo floor if you need more room to haul things.

Interior touches, such as ambient lighting, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and gearshift, and high-quality materials, give the Seltos a classy feel.

4. Exciting Tech Features

This compact SUV comes with must-have standard technology features such as an 8-inch touch screen infotainment display, Apply CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility, USB ports, remote keyless entry, and a six-speaker audio system. Upgrade to a higher trim to gain a stunning 10.25-inch center display, an eight-speaker premium Bose sound system, a head-up display, extra USB ports, and navigation. The top SX trim even comes with a sound-connected mood lamp that changes colors and pulses with the beat of the music while you drive.

5. Plenty of Driver Assistance

All but the base trim of the 2021 Seltos come standard with the auto manufacturer’s Kia Drive Wise suite of safety and driver assistance technologies. Every model includes six air bags, a rollover sensor, tire-pressure monitoring, and hill-start assist. Optional features include automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning with lane keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert, and forward-collision warning.

The 2021 Kia Seltos hits the road this year. If you’re in the market for a small SUV that handles like a car but has the carrying capacity of a much larger vehicle, put the Seltos on your list. Experience it for yourself when you stop by Crain Kia of Fort Smith.
