Kia Seltos Crystal River FL

Kia Seltos

The Kia Seltos received a refresh for the model year. It still delivers a great driving experience, and its price point is more enticing with more tech features included. With all the visual refinements and options for a turbocharged engine, this subcompact SUV is the definition of beauty and brawn.

With competent handling and well-weighted steering, you will find the Seltos easy to maneuver even in tight spaces. It is also great for highway driving with its improved noise levels and ride comfort.

The Seltos is available in five trim levels - all offering varying color options, interior color schemes, and features. You can choose from these trims: LX, S, EX, X-Line, and SX.

The outgoing aesthetic of the Kia Seltos makes it a head-turner, whether you're driving around Crystal River, FL, or any off-road course. And for that, there's no better time to visit Jenkins Kia of Crystal River to test drive one.

Interior Review of the Kia Seltos

When it comes to the interior, the Kia Seltos is among the nicely designed ones in its class. Despite its price point, this SUV is well-constructed and offers a modern and premium look. The dashboard features a 10.3-inch touchscreen display with an easy-to-navigate infotainment interface. The buttons are all where they're supposed to be - giving it a driver-friendly design.

For a subcompact SUV, the Kia Seltos offers above-average cargo space. The vehicle can fit up to eight carry-on suitcases, up to 20 if you fold the rear seats. Both the front and rear seats are comfortable for passengers, with plenty of legroom for the average adult.

All Kia Seltos trim levels are compatible with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto®. An onboard Wi-Fi hotspot and SiriusXM® satellite radio are optional additions.

Exterior Review of the Kia Seltos

The Kia Seltos features a refreshed look with its new wheel designs and updated grille, lighting elements, and bumpers. The Seltos has adapted Kia's "digital tiger" design and features a more prominent grille that gives it a sharper look. The X-Line trim shows off a more outdoor personality with a gunmetal gray grille and skid plates, as well as high-quality roof rails.

Various wheel options are available, depending on the trim you get. The LX and S trims come standard with dark gray 17-inch alloy wheels, while the EX trim has the machine finish version. The 18-inch gloss black and 18-inch machine finish alloy wheels are available for the X-Line and SX trim, respectively.

With the Kia Seltos, you have a variety of monotone and two-tone paint colors to choose from. Here are a few options:

• Fusion Black
• Snow White Pearl
• Mars Orange
• Neptune Blue
• Dark Ocean Blue
• Valais Green w/ Fusion Black Roof

Power and Performance of the Kia Seltos

Featuring a better handling dynamic and an all-wheel drive, the Kia Seltos is pleasant to drive even during poor weather conditions. The Seltos comes with two powertrain options. The LX, EX, and S models have a 146-horsepower engine and a continuously variable transmission. Meanwhile, the X-Line and SX models come with a 195-horsepower turbocharged engine and an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The Kia Seltos is designed with enough power to zip in and around town. But if you're frequently driving on freeways, the turbocharged engine is the way to go. The Seltos is also fuel-efficient and offers above-average gas mileage compared to other subcompact SUVs in its class. The base engine and front-wheel drive trim levels get an estimated 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. With the turbocharged engine and all-wheel drive, models get 25/27 mpg in the city and on the highway.
