    The 2021 Kia Seltos is finally here and it seems like the company has injected quite if a bit of Telluride swag into a smaller package. We love it’s turbo engine, DCT, standout design, and interior packaging. Even it’s $29,500 fully loaded price is a little less expensive than top versions of the Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, and Jeep Renegade. Are you guys impressed? Because we certainly were.

      Hey, nice review. I do wish you spent a bit more time comparing contrasting against the Kona though. Since IMO that's going to be cross-shopped a lot more than the ugliest car on the market (soul).

      We just traded in my wife’s Sportage SX Turbo for our Telluride. But outside the looks-and especially the interior-the Sportage blows this away. But, this will attract a lot of new people to the brand that would or would not consider the Kia Soul. This is basically for the Soul shopper who has grown up.

      So, let me understand this:
      You had a used Sorento for sale , about 4 years old with a sticker price , say $15K.
      A buyer walks in and agrees to pay you more than the asking price ?
      And you claim you pulled this stunt more than once ?
      Impressive but not believable

    • @dalex7777
      @dalex7777 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      jack p Not over asking but thousands over KBB both times. One was a dealer trade-in-not for a dealer branded car, in fact I bought the second Sorento for below sticker. Then a year and a half later sold that one at $4k over loan value in a direct sale.
      Certified Tellurides are selling for above sticker with 5-10k miles. Check Edmunds.com. You need to increase your sample size.

Honestly if they just made the Sportage a sized-up Seltos with a 250 hp engine option I'd be happy.

    In the Canadian version, the SX includes the cooled front seats, heated wheel drive and the heads up display, so, you were right about those features in other markets :) Very Nice car! Now, I’m just waiting for my local Kia to call me for a test drive- depending on that test drive, l’ll probably be a futur owner of a Seltos soon :)

    KIA is doing a great job at cost cutting in areas where most buyers won’t notice. Sharp exterior design, powerful engines for the segment, good tech, and not forcing CVT down our throats. Take notice Honda Toyota Nissan Subaru

    Killer video, Redline! Really liking the direction that Kia is going lately. This new Seltos seems like a pretty solid addition to the Kia lineup, and it should definitely hold it's own particularly well against its competitors...
    The styling is there, the power seems to be there, and the practicality also seems to be there. All in all, it appears to be a well-rounded crossover at a very competitive price. It should be a hit for Kia!
    It'll be interesting to see how this performs alongside the Soul and Niro. Keep it up, and absolutely loving these Alex collabs. Haha!

    The Seltos is gonna' be a hit. I always thought the Soul was missing an AWD option and this certainly fills that void.
    I am still hoping KIA brings the Mohave back to the USA. There *is* a market for a 4WD-ladder frame suv and it won't canibalize on the Telluride as the target market is different. Fingers crossed!

      I sell KIA. There is a category created. It is called a CUV or "Cross-Over Utility Vehicle". A CUV is a smaller version of an SUV. In a nutshell Kia Soul + Kia Sportage= Kia Seltos. The CUV market is the smallest market right now, but it is the FASTEST growing market. The reason the Seltos exists is because Kia did not have an AWD variant of the Soul, which everyone who loves the soul wants. That, plus Kia wanted another shot at the CUV market (The Soul is a CUV not SUV) kinda like what they did with the Telluride for the Mid-Size SUV market. (The Sorento was the only other Midsize Kia has, atleast in the US. The Sorento did great in terms of making money for the brand. But Sorento sales weren't as great as competitors. So the Telluride was created to show how serious Kia is in terms of dominating a market segment. They are attempting the same with the Seltos.)

    • @pbentsonable

      Mr. C.G.O I could see them stealing sales from Mazda and Buick, but not from Honda and Toyota. People that buy from Honda and Toyota know their reliability, resale value, and engineering are a step above what Kia is doing. New Kia products look great when they are new, but I’m curious to see how they are holding up after a few years with 80-100k on them.

      You could honestly add the current gen Kia Soul in terms of a small CUV with no AWD. Go back and look at the Soul from the first gen in 2010 until now. It morphed from a hatchback to a sub-compact CUV.
