What’s New for the 2021 Kia Seltos?
America started displaying its increasing fondness with the affordable subcompacts, and the 2021 Kia Seltos looks to meet such needs. The car is available with a couple of peppy engines, making it an absolute delight to drive. Someone who wants to meet the travelling needs of a growing family should consider this subcompact SUV.
Trim Levels:
5 trim levels of the 2021 Kia Seltos are available. Their names are as follows:
- S
- LX
- EX
- S Turbo
- SX Turbo
The EX trim level provides excellent value for money, while the SX is heavily loaded with equipment. All Wheel Drive (AWD) is an option for all trims, though it may or may not be necessary for one’s requirements.
Exterior:
An LED light bar runs right across the headlights of the 2021 Kia Seltos, creating a classy look at the front. LED daytime running lights are available on all models except the base LX. Faux dual exhaust tips can be seen at the rear, and it may seem more visually appealing to many as opposed to the front.
While certain trims come with 17 inch trims, the turbo engine trims get 18 inch wheels. Heated outside rear view mirrors are available on this vehicle. Body cladding, used to showcase a rugged SUV look, is available around the tires and the sides, as well as at the rear. It certainly adds to the visual appeal of this vehicle. Roof rails can be added to all models except the base trim.
A rear spoiler can be seen on all the trims here. Buyers get a power sunroof as standard on the EX and optional on the SX Turbo.
Engine Specifications:
The 2021 Kia Seltos gets two engine options, both of which can provide excellent fuel economy figures. Here are the details of these two engines:
- 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder powertrain with 147 hp of power and 132 lbs.-ft of torque.
- 1.6 liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged engine with 175 hp of power and 195 lbs.-ft of torque
While the 2.0 liter is mated to a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), the 1.6 liter turbo-powered mill is fitted with a 7-speed automatic transmission. Expect the vehicle to deliver a smooth ride, with the handling being sharp for an SUV.
Interior:
Spacious interiors can be found in this subcompact SUV. Additionally, passengers can enjoy the comfortably reclining 2nd row seats. Features available on the inside are as follows:
- Automatic temperature control
- Heated front seats (AWD models)
- Wireless charging
Luggage can be loaded using the manual gate on this vehicle, which does not get Power gate as an option. The 2021 Kia Seltos really scores well in terms of luggage space, which is a phenomenal 26.6 cubic feet. What’s more, there is space to store things below the rear mat, next to the spare tire as well.
Ride height is pretty good for a subcompact SUV, making it easy to get in. The S and S Turbo trims come with synthetic blue stitching.

- Lane Keeping Assist
