Kia Seltos

Like the Ioniq 5, the Seltos has also been a fairly immediate hit since being introduced on the market. Unlike the Ioniq 5, it’s not electric, but it’s maybe the perfect size for smaller families who want a fuel economical ride that doesn’t foist range anxiety on them.

What KBB liked:

  • Priced to offer value
  • Lots of tech for the money
  • AWD on most trims
  • Surprisingly spacious inside, including in the second row
  • Fuel economy
  • Available two-tone roof for those who want it
  • Decent power from the turbo engine found in some trims
