  The new Kia Seltos not only looks like a baby Telluride, but it also feels like one on the inside with a cabin that competitors (including these two) can't match. But it's also very slow – would that be a deal-breaker for you? Or would you trade it for a better interior? Let us know in the comments below!

  cheap is a relative term. lower priced is a factual term.

  i bought the seltos EX trim 2 days ago and it's really a very nice SUV...so quiet on the road and the tech in this car is insane for the price! power driver's seat and heated seats in front. power cargo door, remote start, blindspot monitoring, phone charger, backup montoring and more. the ride quality is what sold me...i wanted an suv with a softer ride and this has it. the turning of the wheel is light but it's not a turn off for me and mine has front wheel drive but i live in alabama where we do not have many snow days so if you live up north you might want an all-wheel drive. you do have 2 modes being normal and sport. using the sport mode makes the gears shift faster and steering a bit heavier. the engine is a multi-point 4 cycle engine and no GDI but you do have a IVT with it. i recommend a test drive ( in which i did!),by the way...it's does not feel cheap! it's feels like you are getting a small version of an suv costing 1000's more. this is a great car for seniors!

  I just had a 2026 Seltos as a rental this week and this new one is quite the upgrade!! The 2026 was perfectly decent for the price too though!

  I have an EV9 and you get used to the climate screen as most others do. Better than having a blank spot there. Just hit the plus or arrow to get the full climate screen. I mostly just use the physical controls or voice control.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bb705VZCbc&amp;t=855">14:15</a> &quot;You do get a 12-volt port, but that&apos;s not really worth much these days.&quot; &nbsp;Actually, the 12v outlet in the back is perfect for powering an electric cooler for those long treks. &nbsp;It is also good for powering a rear dashcam. &nbsp;Sort actually helpful.

  Cheap or more reasonably priced? Car reviewers tend to focus on the wrong things.

  The design is just such a step up, I love it and finally we are getting Seltos here in Europe with this gen, don&apos;t really see the need for Sportage now in KIAs lineup, especially if Seltos gets hybrid version in the future.<br>Great comparison and can&apos;t wait to see you getting your hands on the Hyundai Ioniq 6N against Mercedes AMG CLA 45 AMG ⚡⚡🤟🤟🤟

  I just love how as a reviewer, you think that paying over $30K for a car is &quot;cheap&quot; for most of us that&apos;s a TON of money for car.

  The kia is the better car for sure and the hybrid version will make it even more of 1st best option to go for
