New stuff; same value! This is the updated 2024 Kia Seltos X-Line, which has a host of changes to the exterior, interior, trim level (X-Line), and more power from the 1.6L turbocharged engine! The 2024 Seltos SX Turbo model is still less than $30,000, so is this the value king of the sub-compact crossover class?? Or should you pick the 2024 Toyota Corolla Cross, Hyundai Kona or Mazda CX-30 instead??

Too small for a family
Greetings from southern Ontario Canada I really enjoyed the video looking forward to seeing this crossover here especially when the 1.6 litre turbo engine is all I'm after thanks
the other guy never gets a chance to drive. Its very wired.
It looks alright! It’s a good price
Halogen…hmmm……..
They need to make LED headlights standard, the entire industry is moving in that direction!
Wonder if the 2024 Sorento is getting a face lift?
you guys forgot about the dealer markups…we in the real world will get those for sure
All i see is a lot of gloss black that easily attract fingerprints and gets dirty real quick.
Very disappointed about LED lights not being standard. Cmon Kia. This is a 2024 car, not 2014. I’d probably just take the more equipped Corolla Cross.
I don't like seltos….but i really like Sorento 😊😊 and Sportage and telluride 😊😊
It's a shame that it don't have LEDs this is why I'm choosing the Sportage
The halogen lights😂😂😂😂
They just redesigned the selfish why another design
Very nice job with my dream vehicle guys.
another case of kia being cheap with the halogen headlights
Any thoughts on how you think this will compare to the new 2024 Kona?
Fantastic review!
Why so many cars without wireless phone connectivity?
Why the big red brackets on the interior walls behind the rear seats? The rear seats don't recline so what is their purpose except to get in the way and be an eyesore?
What’s the best overall deal the seltos, Crosstrek, or CX30?
I’ve been waiting for this to drop! Ahh
I like this new Seltos. Think it's a better choice and a better bargain then the VW Taos. Just wish kia would offer a hybrid version.
Guessing Hyundai/Kia finally got tired of replacing 7spd dry dcts. 😂
The Seltos and new Chevy Trax are the value leaders in this segment. I would choose the Seltos 1.6 w/ the 8 spd auto. Trax has better reliability, but I don't trust a 3 banger engine,
Very nice handsome looking little SUV. It looks more mature now. Good video guys.
Is Kia slacking off? Where's the 2025 model?
Very interesting trim line up! Def should do standard LEDs.
When are Kias this size going to break the 200HP mark? My mums 2018 Kia Sorento 2.2litre diesel only makes 190 HP (its still awesome tho)
All you gotta do is swap in some LED bulbs into those projector housings and you have bright, excellent lighting w/ a great cutoff line. LED swap and tinted windows would be my first mods. If I were to need a vehicle right now I’d consider this for sure.
26mpg combined? Rogue is like 32 or 33 lol woth more power and is bigger. Even the rogue sport sucks compared…
Is rear seat heating available on the SX trim level?
Great review as always! It’s kind of weird that it does not have privacy cover in the rear cargo area
Doesn't the Seltos have a fold flat front passenger seat?
LED bulbs can't be that expensive, what is Kia thinking
good review, already ordered an EX in ocean blue.
I like the way the Kia and Hyundai look, and I use to be a big time defender of them. However, my fathers Santa Fe just bricked itself at only 120,000 miles. It’s hard for me to tell anyone they these are good cars now. Stick to Honda or Toyota
My girlfriend owns a 2021 S turbo I'm so glad they changed the transmission the DCT is my least favorite part
Great review. I do wish you used the tape measure to measure the width of the trunks, like shortest space between the wheels and the widest space. That would be great to help in some comparisons. I just test drove a 2024 Seltos today and was very surprised at the lack of cargo width, compared to my 2011 Sonata. I barely could fit my golf clubs in the Seltos and only if place in there in specific ways, without lowering the back seats.
Is this the same size as a Rogue or Escape?
Why do people like LED lighting so much? Living in Canada, we have snow. Typical halogen lights produce enough heat to keep the snow from building up on headlights. So unless they make heated LED lamps like they do side mirrors, I’ll take halogens.
Not fully LED all around. No privacy cover in the rear….Kia design choices are annoying sometimes. Others in the class do stuff Kia doesn't
