    Thinking of buying the 2021 Kia Seltos LX?

    CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2021 Kia Seltos LX for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. Here is what to know about the 2021 Kia Seltos LX before buying one.

    Before you sign for the Seltos

    There are 2 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. Owners filed 378 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, power train and electrical system; have those parts checked. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered.

    Reading the spec sheet

    The powertrain to know here is the 2.0L 4-cylinder, 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.

    Its combined rating is 7.5 L/100 km, which means roughly 23 litres for 300 km. That works out to about $11.63 per 100 km at our price setting. 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.

    Who it is for

    It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town. It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next.

    Drive it on your own roads

    Rent first, buy later: a week with the Seltos answers the big questions. Rent the Seltos for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. A week with the Seltos answers more than any brochure.

    The cost of driving it

    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. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car.

    Narrowing it down

    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. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

    A note on Java

    If you need it in Java itself, send a request and we will tell you honestly whether we can help. We have no location in Java; CarmaCars rents from Toronto, about 1,639 km away.

    When you know your dates

    Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
