The 2021 Kia Seltos LX: before you buy

No 2021 Kia Seltos LX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Seltos LX for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. NHTSA has 378 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and electrical system. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Engine and fuel

The 2.0L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

Combined fuel use is 7.5 L/100 km: about 23 litres for 300 km. The fuel for 100 km comes to about $11.63 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Living with the Seltos

An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

Try before you buy

Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car.

The cost of driving it

The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel.

Year and trim

Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
