2021 Kia Seltos
The Seltos is new, but you can lease one as a discount.
The Kia Seltos compact crossover is still new on the market, but the company is already giving it a discount. Customers looking to lease can get up nearly $3,000 off the model, according to Cars Direct.
The front-wheel-drive version of the Seltos S trim has a $2,900 incentive for folks looking to lease for 24 months. The all-wheel-drive S drops that figure to $2,100, and the all-wheel-drive-only LX is available with $1,900 off when leasing. Cars Direct notes that this is a good deal and means that the monthly payment on the Seltos might be just $15 more than a comparable Honda HR-V, despite it being an older vehicle.
If you want to buy the Seltos, there's bad news because there are no available incentives, according to Cars Direct.
The Seltos slots just below the Niro in Kia's crossover lineup, but the new model is arguably a more interesting looking vehicle. Buyers can select from a 2.0-liter four-cylinder with 146 horsepower or a 1.6-liter turbo in 175 horsepower. Both models use a seven-speed automatic gearbox. Buyers can get the model with either front- or all-wheel drive, depending on the trim level.
nside, customers can get luxuries like a 10.25-inch infotainment display with navigation, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. There are also available features like an eight-speaker Bose stereo. The driver-assist technology includes lane departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and forward-collision assist.
Pricing for the Seltos starts at $21,990 (in addition to an $1,120 destination charge). The range-topping SX Turbo takes that figure to $27,890 before destination.
Ever since we learned that the Kia Seltos crossover will be coming to America after its initial success in India and Australia, good news about the 2021 Kia Seltos has been pouring in, like the 5-star safety rating the Kia Seltos received from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) (testing the Australian-spec model, of course). Kia Motors has been highlighting the Seltos, making use of its Super Bowl spot to bring attention to youth homelessness, and just before released an advertisement highlighting their “Yards Against Homelessness” Initiative. Now that we know more about the U.S. specs and what the 2021 Kia Seltos will have to offer, let’s talk about options for the best this crossover can deliver.
Starting off, what we know about the U.S. Kia Seltos is that this model will come in five trim levels with two engine options and the choice of a front- or all-wheel drivetrain. Not bad for its first introduction to American shores, and with a starting MSRP of $21,990 (plus destination fee), consumers get a more than mild set up. The base model comes with the initial 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine as the standard setup, able to generate 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque, equipped with an 8.0-inch touchscreen with some form of UVO that powers Apple CarPlay and Google Android Auto compatibility, front-wheel drive, and outfitted with 18-inch wheels.
