Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Seltos EX?

No 2021 Kia Seltos EX is for sale by CarmaCars at the moment; this page helps you judge the car before you buy one elsewhere. This page sets out the 2021 Kia Seltos EX for buyers, in plain words.

Recalls and complaints

Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay.

Reading the spec sheet

The engine is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive and an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

The combined figure, 7.5 L/100 km, means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.63. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

Is it right for your trip?

It suits people curious about the model who want to drive it before they buy. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.

A longer test drive

Rent the Seltos for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If the Seltos is in our fleet, its page shows the rates; if not, a similar car helps you judge. Drive the Seltos on your commute before you commit to it.

Money matters

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. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary.

Choosing the right one

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it.

Make a request

Send a request to rent the model first, or ask us what we can do.
