All Seltos models will have a touchscreen infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, but the optional 10.3-inch unit is the one to target. It offers multitasking capability to split the screen so you can view the map and directions at the same time you’re making changes to the radio station. Depending on which model you choose, the Seltos can also be equipped with a wireless smartphone-charging pad, up to three USB ports, a head-up display, and a 7.0-inch color display in the gauge cluster. An eight-speaker Bose audio system will also be optional and features fractal-textured speaker design, which sound fantastic.

The Seltos noticeably stands taller for being a subcompact. The front grill and led light accents are strikingly pleasant. The true highlight is the Seltos at night. Kia had designed the headlamp to cascade across the hood to give the LEDs a rope lighting look along the hood. While functionality wise, they may not be the most effective option, but I appreciate the aesthetics. The body has artful creases in combination with fender flares, satin chrome roof rails, C-pillars, and a front and rear skid plate to give it a more unique look. 

As the newest member of the Kia family, the Seltos enters the subcompact arena with an impressive debut. A small vehicle chalked full of features and terrific warranty is just what everyone is looking for. Kia has established an competitive lineup along all segments of SUV’s where a consumer best not overlook the Korean automaker.
