Yes, Kia has two models that fit into the subcompact segment. The Kia Seltos, stylish and practical, is the larger of the two – think of it as a subcompact+ - and it offers a lot of value for the money. It was refreshed for the 2024 model-year with a new design and an updated interior, so comes back this year with only minor tweaks. 

The 2025 Seltos continues to offer a choice of two engines, including a potent turbocharged option, and available all-wheel drive. The Seltos get points for its spacious interior and cargo area, making it one of the most practical choices in its class.
