2025 Kia Seltos Review

The 2025 Seltos arrives with a refreshed look. Designers worked with engineers to maximize curb appeal. The new look is a head turner, especially with the available two-tone color schemes and unique lighting signature. Star Map lighting is unique to the Kia brand. 

Inside this ride is remarkably spacious. Designers utilized trim elements to maintain a clean, uncluttered feeling. Engineers enhanced the feeling of open space by utilizing large windows.  The available panoramic sunroof adds an airy feel to this Kia SUV, making it even more inviting.

Critics have described this small SUV as above-class in materials and style. In fact, they have noticed its resemblance to the gorgeous Kia Telluride. This feeling extends to the quiet ride quality, due to excellent padding and an acoustic windshield.

Unlike many subcompact SUVs, the 2025 Kia Seltos in Phoenix AZ seeks to lead the class in size. Passenger volume is an ample 99 cubic feet. 

Adding soft touches and an upscale feeling, top quality materials cover the dash, seats and doors. An ergonomic cockpit has a large touchscreen partnered with a smaller driver’s screen. 

Dual-zone automatic climate controls work to keep you cool. You can use a remote starter to cool the cabin before departure. A heat-deflecting windshield on the Seltos EX adds another line of defense against our Phoenix AZ summers. Available ventilated seats are always an Arizona driver’s favorite feature. 

The second row has 38.4 inches of headroom and 38 inches of legroom. They also benefit from reclining seats and a folding center armrest.

For 2025, a Smart Power Liftgate is standard on more trim levels. The Seltos cargo hold fits 8 carry-on suitcases in 26.6 cubic feet of space. An adjustable floor can be raised when the seats are folded. This creates a flat surface. It’s possible to create 62.8 cubic feet of space for gear and luggage.

The 2025 Seltos is equipped with advanced technology features to keep you connected. Standard on the Seltos LX, an 8-inch touchscreen display provides crisp graphics and an intuitive interface. A smart menu, voice recognition, and steering wheel duplicate controls help you find what you need, when you need it.

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standards to assist you with advanced smartphone integration. You can get subscriptions to satellite radio and a WiFi hotspot. There’s a Kia Digital Key, a remote starter, and automatic climate controls.

Stepping up, Kia offers a 10.25-inch touchscreen with an even more advanced interface. This means faster responses and more capability, including built-in navigation on some models.   

The 2025 Seltos offers a range of standard and available driver-assist technologies to enhance your safety and make driving easier. For 2025, EX and SX trims have added a parking distance warning-reverse function. 

• Forward Collision Warning with Automatic Emergency Braking

• Lane Keeping Assist

• Blind-Spot Monitoring with Assist

• Traffic Sign Recognition

• Rear Cross Traffic Alert with Assist

• Adaptive Cruise Control 

• Highway Driving Assist (Semi-autonomous)

Parents will appreciate the extra safety of the vehicle exit warning to reduce the chances that kids might step into traffic. A rear seat reminder helps parents and caregivers who have little ones on the second or third rows.  

The 2025 Kia Seltos is a perfect fit for city driving, weekend getaways, and everything in between. With money-saving fuel economy, it offers a choice of engines and drivetrains to suit your driving style. 

Adventure lovers appreciate that Kia has equipped the affordable LX with standard all-weather all-wheel drive. In fact, these Seltos AWD models have front and rear skid plates for extra protection. X-Line and SX trim levels also have this all-terrain advantage. Meanwhile, Seltos S and EX trim levels have front-wheel drive, ensuring the best gas mileage.

The entry level 146-horsepower four-cylinder engine is a hard worker. Even more fun, the Seltos turbo generates 195 horsepower and 195 lb-ft of torque. This turbocharged engine has been called sharp, entertaining and composed.

These subcompact SUVs have four-wheel independent suspensions for better handling and flexibility. They also have front and rear stabilizer bars. Ground clearance is rated at 7.3 inches.

The 2025 Seltos LX AWD price is the entry level MSRP at $24,590. However, the Seltos S FWD isn’t much more at an MSRP of $25,090. To learn more about prices, check our inventory or give us a call.
