Car financing: the 2021 Kia Seltos LX

We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2021 Kia Seltos LX for sale by us right now. 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.

What to check on the Seltos

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Ask the seller for the service records of this exact car. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

What the specs mean

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

Plan on about 23 litres per 300 km; the combined rating is 7.5 L/100 km. Driving 300 km costs roughly $34.89 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Room inside

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Who the Seltos suits

It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage.

Drive it on your own roads

A test week in the Seltos tells you more than any review. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. If the Seltos is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge.

What it costs to run

Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Which one to look for

Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

A note on Java

Java is about 1,639 km from Toronto, outside our delivery area. If you are starting from Toronto, rent the car here and drive it to Java.
