As a utility vehicle with an abundance of attitude, the Seltos arrives in North America with modern styling and a penchant for adventure, whether that means everyday driving in the city or in the wilderness on weekends. Complementing Kias robust SUV lineup, and following on the heels of the Telluride, the Seltos slots between the popular Soul and Sportage models, providing a premium and tech-savvy cabin, a choice of two well-tested engines and an available all-wheel drive system.
