Went Subaru shopping with my mum today and she has gone home with a new Kia Seltos. Was love at first sight and a class above inside and out compared to the small-mid SUV range of both Subaru and Mazda
It's coming to North America as well. I work for a Kia dealership and we're very anxious to get them. The infotainment screen is the same one in the Telluride, made only for the American market. The Telluride was just awarded the SUV of the year twice.
@Cumulus Humilis Yup Hyundai has a share of 15.48 percent which is the second largest car maker in India followed by its sister company Kia 4th largest car maker here in india Hyundai have specific models for india that are localised and sold in india and exported
Sir, but the million dollar question is should I go for dct transmission considering its overheating problem during b to b traffic n uphill driving...😖
Still no led reverse and parking...interior look luxury wait till come to Australia.. And also all new model the gauge are analog end.. Hmm.. Gtline only electric sunroof not panoramic.. The audio will last forever? Or just after an update has issue or has separate sd card for maps like stinger?
Hard to say!. They have not officially announced in the crowded SUV market not withstanding their own Soul, Kona's Sportage. They do believe the muscular youthful looks would possibly succeed in the US SUV hungry market.
Looks interesting but a read of the full specs will reveal more of course. I'd personally avoid the CVT models but the Turbo and DCT, a better option, will add a lot to the price. No mention of fuel octane or consumption. Lots of 'bling' in the otherwise functional cabin. Hopefully none of the 7 colours on offer are overly conservative.
Sorry for a delayed response. The Hyundai counterpart is the Kona. We test drove them back-to-back and preferred the Kia in terms of drivability, appearance and warranty
Seems like a pretty great vehicle, I love the look of it, especially in the silver and the interior is nice and bright and cheery. not overly keen on the Seltos name though.
@@ledwinka oh no for real? Such a shame, i lile the exterior design of the xceed but on the inside it looks old and boring. The seltos is much prettier
Great choice. Once you've owned it for a while we'd love to know what you think. Why not drop us an owner review: www.drive.com.au/submit-owner-car-review/
Just test drove and a bit underwhelmed with the Australian GT Line- no panoramic sunroof or power tailgate at this price point. seems like a half hearted attempt to squeeze in something while still also selling the sportage
There is no car which has pano sunroof, power tail gate for small suv. Mazda CX3, Toyota CHR, Qashqai, etc.. Because car companies are not idiot, they know if they put every goodies into small suv, whos gona buy bigger bros? They are not here for your satisfaction, they are here for your money :3
@@dingleberry42069 yes, exactly. I personally think that they've overpriced it a bit. I love KIA and own one but wasn't thrilled by the SELTOS after the test drive and comparing features. maybe they should phase out the SPORTAGE and merge features into the SELTOS which is a more modern design ?
And the bright side of this brand is that it's economic compared to others, also if you know how to take care of it, it could last you decades mine looks like a bought it yesterday,and it has more than 165000 kilometers and it's still going, so definitely if your looking for a good design, modern vibe and technology this brand is a good option, plus they created SELTOS with an incredible design so, within my point of view it's definitely WORTH IT.
Nice car, I’ve test driven the GT Line here in Australia. The only issue I see is the price. It’s 42k drive away which is not a lot less than the top model CX5, Tucson or new gen RAV4. No electric tailgate or high speed autonomous braking either. Price 👎🏽
KIA HAS COME A LONG WAY. THERE DESIGN TEAM IS DOING AN AMAZING JOB. THIS LOOKS VERY UPMARKET AND EUROPEAN AND FOR THE PRICE POINT IT'S ALOT OF CAR FOR THE PRICE. GOING TO DO WELL FOR SURE. I FEEL KOREA CARS ARE MUCH BETTER IN DESIGN THAN THE JAPANESE THESE DAYS. TOYOTAS , MITSUBISHI, SUBARU's ARE SO UGLY. THIS LOOKS LIKE A RANGE ROVER AND THEY INTERIOR LOOKS MUCH MORE POSH.
KIA Seltos rear Aircon vent blowing warm air when Aircon temperature is set at 25 degree celsius and outside environmental temperature is above 34 degree celsius, their service work shop claimed that is normal. During the visit on 26 Apr 2021, inspection was carried out on the vehicle’s Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning System; the values such as Ambient Temperature Sensor, Evaporator Temperature Sensor, photo sensor, In-car air temperature sensor and other related values that maintain the operation of the climatic air-conditioning system. We did not find any abnormalities in the values and all sensors and actuators are functioning normally and a diagnostic scan with the manufacturer’s diagnostic scanner did not report any diagnostic trouble codes. These data was also inspected and compared to 2 other similar vehicles and the performance was found to be similar and thus the vehicle’s air-conditioning system was judged to be operating normally. That's radiculous and sily.
Good night I have a friend an her Kia selfie 2020 push start giving her trouble she have to on jack her push start for it to start an then unjack it for the car to cut off
I don't like CVTs... When it's the only thing offered and or it's a sporty/meant to be sporty car. They aren't aiming it to be a sporty car, they offer DCT with 1.6T and Kia's CVT is known the be pretty good.
I currently own a Mitsubishi Lancer and previously had a Ford Fiesta. My problem with CVT is that when you need speed it only gives you RPM and noise... whereas DCT... all good at the beginning, and start having issues a year later. I know Hyundai's DCT has less issue than the others but durability is still a big problem for all DCT boxes. Why not just use the new 8 speed AT? Even a 6/7 speed is better than CVT and DCT I reckon...
dct's have long term reliability issues but they are best automatic transmission ! however torque converters have more reliability in lonng term but jerky shifts compared to dct's. cvt? 😂 cvt is a joke! no need to talk about it.
Wow I really like this car but unfortunately why did they go with CVT cannot stand CVT what a shame Kia what are you doing 6-speed automatic would have been better anyway
I had a smarty pants comment all lined up before I clicked and then you beat me to the punch inside the first 30 seconds. Next time caradvice, next time....
Jeez this has to be the best looking car in its class.
Idk looks ugly to me. Hyundai venue looks better
@@vosk6481 venue looks very cheap
Argel Cruz I agree
@@PrinceXavier016 yup
Finally kia got the style right. Looks heeps better than sportage
Beautiful exterior design ... looks like Range Rover
At first glance of the thumbnail, I was convinced it's the Range Rover Evoque until I read the caption.
That's exactly what I said.
Nav Mann I said the same
Went Subaru shopping with my mum today and she has gone home with a new Kia Seltos. Was love at first sight and a class above inside and out compared to the small-mid SUV range of both Subaru and Mazda
The front kinder reminds me of a Range Rover& the inside is a bmw
Back looks like a squished turd
Wow...this is beautifully designed from every angle...make this bigger and replace the funny face of sportage...great job Kia
erik lopez I might get one but I like all the colors haha
Kia launched in India with just one model that is Seltos and directly shot upto 5th in standing in last quarter. Ahead of VW Ford etc.
It's coming to North America as well. I work for a Kia dealership and we're very anxious to get them. The infotainment screen is the same one in the Telluride, made only for the American market. The Telluride was just awarded the SUV of the year twice.
Love Kia frm India 🇮🇳
Kia Seltos SUV will rule Indian roads 🚙
Buy only Indian. Mera Bharat mahaan 😍
Nah Cows will rule Indian roads 🙂
Aadhi Thanu chal nikal pseudo nationalist chutie. Buy what u get best in that money.

Looks great but they lost me on the cvt transmission.
its actually a IVT transmission, uses a chain instead of a belt, huge difference sounds much quieter and more responsive I have tried one.
Just take the turbo version, it doesn't have it.
A lot of them have dual cloth automatics I heard
@@freddybell8328 I think you mean dual clutch transmissions
CVT doesn't faze me, I had one on my '15 Juke AWD, it was okay for me.
It's great. Looks like it will be best in class. Good job KIA. Sounds to good to be true 😍
When will the Seltos be available in United States?
Yes, Later part of 2020, They have the larger Teluride along with its cousin Palisade
@@krisputnam2143 I am looking hybrids, will it have a hybrid model coming?
@1:25 I could see a sort of BMW styling on the dashboard.. Anybody??
You're not alone. But it looks great.
It does not look like that. Fake video
The indian varient gets a Mercedes Benz style dashboard... Infotainment screen and instrument cluster on a single slab
@@roystonfernandes9445 it does lol
Love the looks of it, inside and out. Will be checking it out when it gets here
Seems to have issues, rushed to market too soon?
Will they make an hybrid version of the Seltos?
How about after maeket service...??? Have a good mechanic and technician tjat cater your unit?
Sir, but the million dollar question is should I go for dct transmission considering its overheating problem during b to b traffic n uphill driving...😖
Hi can you please tell me if i can buy this Suv Seltos,:in Scotland.If so do you know when.Thanks in advance.🏴
I want to test drive it now! WOW!
Hello,
Should i go for seltos gtx+ dct or creta sxo ivt? (given i only drive in city and want to keep my car for atleast 7-10 years)
Where's the panoramic sun roof
Still no led reverse and parking...interior look luxury wait till come to Australia.. And also all new model the gauge are analog end.. Hmm.. Gtline only electric sunroof not panoramic.. The audio will last forever? Or just after an update has issue or has separate sd card for maps like stinger?
Reliable ?
in india kia get 6000 booking first day
Booked mine in beginning of October... Expected delivery by November or early December lmao... Long waiting line

October 2019 or 2020?
What's its counterpart in Hyundai? I really like the styles and performances of this South Korean brands
Sorry for a delayed response. The Hyundai counterpart is the Kona. We test drove them back-to-back and preferred the Kia in terms of drivability, appearance and warranty
Seems like a pretty great vehicle, I love the look of it, especially in the silver and the interior is nice and bright and cheery. not overly keen on the Seltos name though.
But it has a unique meaning. Its name is derived from "Celtos", the son of Hercules in Greek mythology.
i would buy this but doin't fk up the enguine in australian market please
I own a Sportage this one has much better styling
Exterior is beautiful. Nicer than Range Rover
Hope this is coming to switzerland, looks like a very nice car :-) kia is nailing it
Unfortunately not. Kia Xceed is the EU version that takes its place
@@ledwinka oh no for real? Such a shame, i lile the exterior design of the xceed but on the inside it looks old and boring. The seltos is much prettier
Yes Kia seltos looks much better than Kia xceed .too bad tt will not see it on Europe😨😨😨😨dam KIA
Is there a price for it already or none yet? Thanks
Already for India..
Getting a 2020 GT-Line model next week, only 19,500klm's. Cant wait!
Great choice. Once you've owned it for a while we'd love to know what you think. Why not drop us an owner review: www.drive.com.au/submit-owner-car-review/
Do we have it already in RSA?
Yep
Looks good, any chance it’s coming to America? Also, can it tow?
Shawn B it is.
i don't get it they promote kia's warranty but ours here in brunei is giving 3 years warranty and or 150000km whichever comes first boo

If they add them then no one will buy the larger models

Kia has been killing it lately in terms of design, unlike Hyundai which has been killing my eyes.
Thanks for watching!
Indian version interior is slightly different,manual parking brake and dashboard top near to touchscreen not like india one.
For the price it’s the best out there
Kia XC40
i wonder what is the price of kia seltos in India?
Go to local dealership
Would have actually considered buying this thing if it didnt have a CVT.
I test driven this car no complain about the smoothness ride, the problem is ac aircon not cold #2, and dct trans which is not for me
It’s a winner!
Sorry lost me at “no manual transmission”. Not even a manual option on the base model is just a joke.
Can import from India a
We have petrol and diesel 6 speed transmission manual.
Kia Seltos vs Wuling Almaz...i think almaz is better...why? coz i just have almaz xixixixi
On le veut en France !!
Why we go to in car show instead in car dealer
I think it's time to trade my 2010 kia forte ex in 😊. I luv this suv!
I love it, looks good
It’s made for india and in india . Doing great numbers in sales already
I give up looking at SUVs for gutless engines, surely a 180 Kw 350 Nm engines can be standard practice in 2020 with technology at hand or ?
Anyone else feels the side profiles have been copied from the Volvo XC40?
nice design.
Excellent review, thanks.
Guess if it's not coming to America it won't be available in Canada? Looks great
These are being made in india. That too in my state called andhra Pradesh
Kia already applied for a copyright on that Name in the USA
It will be in the US and will be made in SK
It’s coming to Canada fall 2020.
@@supercooled Hi thanks so much for letting me know! That's great news!
wow, it is bad ass, and will be a big hit...with a true cuv beast needed for Rav 4 competition.
Hopefully in 2021 we can buy him in Germany. I love this car
Finally nice looking Kia suv
Not bad. Hoos competition with honda and hyundai
Korean cars are getting better now a days
Any kia user here who could review the brand's performance after a span of year or so?
Owned 3 Kia cars in a row.. Not a single issue to report other then changing a bulb once...
They are a pretty good brand i actually have one that I bought back in 2009 and it has never asked me for anything extra.Just the basic.
And the bright side of this brand is that it's economic compared to others, also if you know how to take care of it, it could last you decades mine looks like a bought it yesterday,and it has more than 165000 kilometers and it's still going, so definitely if your looking for a good design, modern vibe and technology this brand is a good option, plus they created SELTOS with an incredible design so, within my point of view it's definitely WORTH IT.

No electric tailgate or high speed autonomous braking either.

How do you compare to rav4?
And? If they had those then nobody would buy the bigger models
Bring this Kia in The Philippines please :)
Yeah it will come. It's already announced by Ayala Kia.
Meron na sir, na test drive q na, smooth ride, kya lng aircon prang wlang lamig, torsion beam

Красивый авто ,только подвеска,очень жёсткая,трясёт сильно,душу вытряхивает,не могут корейцы подвеску делать
Disappointed that pedometer is still analogue 😢
No it has a digital display. And with the top of the range GT line it has a window up screen display
Everything was awesome until you mentioned "CVT".....Dual clutch is not much better. The torque converter auto is much more reliable!

Looks good. Ac vents resemble from a bmw
-Kia: 'Skoda, can I copy your front end?'
-Skoda: 'Sure, just change it a bit so the teacher doesn't tell.'
-Kia: * Seltos *
Kia's been using this grille for ages..
Too bad it will not come to the US ..
It will
It will. Also Canada. Fall 2020.
Wxpwct to pay 45k for top of the line though.
I just visited my local Kia dealership today, it comes to the U.S. In February 2020..😁
Wow I really like this car but unfortunately why did they go with CVT cannot stand CVT what a shame Kia what are you doing 6-speed automatic would have been better anyway
Lukus Cannon its torque converter here in INDIA😁
DCT in Korea.
We are getting both
It will have dual clutch for the turbo model. Indian market get smaller engine so CVT makes sense.
Russell Crowes car...the cell toss

You should make some video in hindi if you are an Indian.
This is Australian channel bro
As you can hear him saying so
There are a lot of videos in Hindi already. This is the first Seltos video I'm watching that's in English. Just go look for them
Is the footage from China? The pollution in the background is mind boggling
