Best Subcompact SUV: 2022 Kia Seltos
For Kelley Blue Book, it’s simple: The Kia Seltos has been on the market two years, and it has taken this category for the past two years. It’s quite a feat for a brand-new model (ask Ford about new-model hiccups). Not only, that, but the Seltos had to overcome potential competition from within its own brand, Kia already having the Niro and the Rogue sitting on either side of the newbie in the lineup. No worries, there are so many car buyers turned SUV buyers out there that there are enough of them to go around for everyone. Everyone who delivers the goods, that is.
What KBB liked:
- Upscale, surprisingly big interior
- Likable exterior design
- Great warranty
- Pricing
- Spirited driving dynamics
- For 2022, Kia has improved on an already impressive model, adding safety features to the base model
- All-wheel drive
- Lots of technology
- Very practical day to day
