This Kia Seltos is a fair bit larger than what the photos might have you believe. If you're looking for something sizable but don't want to spill to much dough for anything else besides space, this could be it.

If you're looking for a reasonably priced crossover that can give you that strong SUV look, this is it.
It's boxy all-around, with strong flanks and a high shoulder line. And inside you get a 10.25-inch infotainment system which both looks and feels solid.

For the $, great.
More than average rating if handbrake is replaced by electronics type
Perfect if can add-on digital cluster

This is my first time purchasing a car. It wasn't easy for a beginner like me who knows nuts about cars. Luckily I met a Sales Executive named Zeo Chia. He is very patience in answering our queries and able to identify our needs for our car. He recommended the Kia Seltos because we need a bigger car and value for money. We were amazed by his top notch service and explanation and we placed our deposit on the same day despite after visiting a few showrooms.
From time to time whilst waiting for our car delivery date. He took initiative to update whenever he have any news. That is very nice of him because we are very excited for our first car.
During the day of collection, he took his time to explain all the features of the car and advise me what to do for next servicing. And that, his after sales service is always there too.
Highly recommended Zeo for next car purchase. ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'ðŸ»ðŸ'🻠âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸âï¸

KIA Seltos rear Aircon vent is blowing warm air when temperature setting is at 23,24,25 degree celsius and outside environment is hot sunny day here in Singapore.
On 25 April 21, I sent my KIA Seltos to KIA authorized workshop at Ubi, they claimed that it is normal after checking.

Choose the EX as I am not a fan for sunroof and got to accept the lack of features. Test drive XXXtimes for Seltos before signing. Was amazed by the POWERFUL and less noise turbo engine by KIA/Hyundai can developed. Made in India??? But had change my persception. Well done KIA!!

Decently priced SUV with nice features such as automatic climate control, ventilated front seats, sunroof etc. Gives good acceleration, smooth drive.

Decently priced. Nice features and spacious. Love the design, large boot capacity and ventilated seats.

Sad that Singapore gets the Indian made version instead of the Korean made ones. While I was at the 2020 Motorshow, I had a peek and poke around the interior the Indian made variant and it does not feel like it is worth the $117k asking price at all. Plastics were cheap & rough and panel gaps, seat stitching were all sub-par that even the entry-level Kia Stonic which is made in Korea has a better quality interior.
The engine is also lacking in performance compared to its class rivals like the Skoda Karoq and SEAT Ateca which costs less but boasts similar 1.4T engines but does the century sprint below 9s.
In India, many have reported problems with the Seltos' DCT gearbox skipping gears etc.
For $117k, have many other higher quality options with better resale value.
