Kia Seltos 2023–2025 car dimensions: 4385 mm long, 1800 mm wide and 1630 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,332 kg. Braked towing is 1,250 kg.
The cabin pairs an 8-inch or 10.25-inch touchscreen with standard Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for phone integration. Climate control is manual on base grades and automatic on higher ones, with rear vents common. Standard cruise control sits on the wheel, while smart cruise with stop-and-go appears on upper trims. Driver aids include standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, lane keep assist, and lane following assist. Blind-spot warning and rear cross-traffic alert come on mid and higher grades. A reversing camera with guidelines is standard, and parking sensors are rear or front-and-rear depending on the grade.
Boot space measures 752 litres with seats up and a lowered dual-level floor, expanding to 1778 litres with the 60/40 rear seats folded. A dual-level cargo floor and available power liftgate ease loading for daily shopping or weekend gear.
Braked towing reaches 1100 kg on front-drive models and 1250 kg on all-wheel-drive versions, with unbraked limited to 600 kg. This suits a small trailer or light boat for occasional use but falls short for heavier loads.
No heavy-duty cooling or reinforced suspension packages appear in the specs, so the Seltos stays oriented toward passenger and light cargo duties rather than regular work hauling.
The cabin feels roomy with supportive seating that includes heated front seats as standard on many grades and ventilated fronts plus multi-way power driver seats with lumbar on higher ones. An acoustic laminated windshield keeps wind noise down. Higher trims add a panoramic sunroof for more light and air, a heated steering wheel, and in some markets heated rear seats or a perfume diffuser with air purifier.

Fuel economy varies by market and powertrain. The 2.0-litre returns lower figures on AWD while the 1.6 turbo sits higher. Tank size is consistently 50 litres across regions. Regular unleaded is specified.
Servicing follows a normal schedule with oil and filter changes at 8,000-mile or 12-month intervals for the non-turbo engine. Turbo versions often need more frequent oil service. Cabin and engine air filters, brake fluid and other items fall at longer milestones. Severe conditions shorten the intervals.
Safety kit is strong. Six airbags, stability control, hill-start assist and a full ADAS suite with autonomous emergency braking, lane following and blind-spot systems come standard or on mid grades. ANCAP awarded five stars in 2019. NHTSA scores reach five stars overall on later tests with four for rollover.
Keeping the car is straightforward. Dual-level cargo floor and split-fold rear seats aid versatility. Warranty cover runs five years or 100,000 km in several markets with roadside assistance. Regular multi-point checks keep systems reliable.
