  • Small but Practical

    I’ve been driving a Kia Seltos for daily commute between Sharjah and Dubai. It’s compact but doesn’t feel cramped inside. The design is neat and modern, and I like the LED lights at night. The engine is not very powerful, but for city driving and highway cruising at 120–140, it’s more than enough. AC works perfectly even in peak summer, which is important here. Fuel economy is one of the best parts, I save a lot compared to bigger SUVs. The touchscreen is simple, and sound quality is decent. It’s not a flashy car, but very practical.

  • Perfect for Daily Runs and Small Streets

    My KIA Seltos is really easy-going, especially for city traffic. The 1.4L turbo engine is lively for its size, and the car isn’t too big, so squeezing into mall parking is never a headache. The seats are comfy, and on a rainy day, the stability control really helped me handle slick roads. My favorite is the automatic air conditioning. Everyone stays happy, even in the summer because of strong air conditioning . The Seltos is great for everyday errands and hasn’t let me down once even on the highways when it's at the speed it maintains its stability. My family is safe with this safe vehicle and that gives me comfort.

  • Best cabin and top features in the segment

    I booked the Seltos three days ago, and this is my second car, and first SUV. So, what did I like the most? Among the among things, the interior of this sleek SUV, including a 10.25-inch cluster seamlessly paired with a 10.25-inch AVN screen, a 20.5-inch horizontal visual experience, spacious seating, storage areas, cup holders, and seat adjustment controllers for enhanced comfort. Advanced ADAS technologies, like parking assist and rear view monitoring, enhance safety and convenience. The panoramic sunroof floods for fresh lighting and a very premium feel, definitely something I didn’t find in its competition.

  • Best SUV I ever bought

    The top-variants, automatic Seltos 2024 is my daily driver here in Sharjah, and already covered over 10,000 km. I would easily says the Seltos is my best car in ownership experience of 3 cars in 12 years. This is of course first KIA branded car, and also an SUV for me, and the use for personal mostly and then occasional family. Seltos has been awesome, the look, cabin, comfort, features-nothing beats in the segment, then the peppy engine, driving dynamics and spacious boot, all of this at a very reasonable price. Although, within 2 months of my purchase I faced suspension issues, and quite disappointed but it was resolved quality with no choice and since then it has been great.

  • Mid-range variant most sensible.

    I know the Seltos is available in several variants with engine options and transmission, I chose the 1.4 turbo, and the Abu Dhabi dealer of KIA offered a good deal, and we bought it at a most attractive price with a couple of accessories free. Apart from that I think the Seltos is a decent car in the price with good power, performance along with the good and spacious cabin along with sizable boots. It handles well, nice to drive both city and highway, and I think the cabin is well insured from noise and offers best comforts in the segment.

  • A great little car with great power

    This is my second Seltos and third KIA lease, and it’s been an amazing experience. The Seltos effortlessly handled winter weather last year, giving me the confidence to drive it in challenging conditions. It offers excellent gas mileage, making it a budget-friendly choice for both longer trips and daily commutes. The driving experience is enjoyable and smooth, with tons of modern features enhancing safety and convenience. The interior is spacious and comfortable, perfect for both family outings and solo drives. For anyone looking for performance and value, the Seltos is the perfect choice.

  • Kia model that offers outstanding exterior as well as interior looks

    I did vivid research before zeroing down my search to Kia Seltos. I found this to be way splendid in this domain of cars. Compared to quite a few of its rivals this showcases an amazingly appointed interior cabin. I got smitten at the ravishing exterior beauty of the model equally. Kudos to its designers for coming up with something that offers a sleek infotainment that is exhibiting a massive sized display screen. The presence of lights on both its sides results to a commendable ambience. I would highly recommend this spacious SUV as a family car.

  • Offers composed and entertaining drive

    I just transitioned to a Kia Seltos, and it has won my heart with its capabilities. Its taller ride height simplifies the driving experience. It is far more composed and entertaining than most of its rivals. Inside, it offers more space for cargo and passengers compared to its competitors, with decent quality materials elevating its overall appeal. The firm suspension and responsive steering of this vehicle enhance its handling, but when you drive it enthusiastically, it seems to be overly nose-heavy and not a suitable choice for that driving style.

  • Sporty handling, large interior

    As I started searching for my next SUV, the only vehicle that catered to my preference was the Kia Seltos. I'm not someone who only gives preference to looks but practicality and comfort are also equally important for me and the Seltos impresses me in all these departments. Despite its large size, I was pleasantly impressed by its agile handling and fine body control, which boosted my confidence throughout test drives. The steering felt snappy and well-weighted, which enhanced the entire driving experience. Inside, the cabin was spacious enough for my family and stuff, and the luxury materials enhanced the vehicle’s appeal.

  • Fun to drive small SUV

    Considering the awesome sales figure of the Kia Seltos I made up my mind to buy it. When I visited my nearest Kia showroom to try out this vehicle the futuristic design of the Seltos left me completely awe-struck. As I stepped inside the vehicle I was amazed by the interior quality and sporty layout of the dashboard. The body roll is controlled well and the chassis is rigid. The steering is also precise and quick, though way too numb and light to offer much feedback. Through the twists and turns it feels well planted. The ride quality exhibits a livable mix of balanced handling and precision.
