About the Kia Seltos

The Kia Seltos is a mid-size crossover available in South Africa across LS, LX, EX, and EX+ specification levels with petrol and diesel engine options — covering 1.5-litre naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol and 1.5-litre turbodiesel powertrains — with manual and automatic transmission options across a wide price range. The diesel range adds fuel efficiency for high-mileage drivers, while the turbocharged 1.5T-GDI GT Line at the top of the lineup targets performance-oriented buyers who want a sportier specification. It competes with the Hyundai Tucson, Mazda CX-30, and Kia Sportage, and benefits from Kia's seven-year warranty and a well-developed dealer network that makes it a strong long-term ownership proposition in the mid-size crossover segment.

Who is the Seltos best for?

  • Mid-size crossover buyers who want Kia's seven-year warranty and a broad powertrain choice including diesel
  • High-mileage drivers who want the 1.5CRDi diesel for fuel efficiency in a well-equipped mid-size crossover
  • Buyers comparing the Seltos against the Hyundai Tucson and Mazda CX-30 on specification and total cost of ownership
