Interior

The interior is another strong point of the Seltos, with a premium and spacious cabin with great comfort and safety.

  • After the folding 60:40 split rear seats, the space expands significantly to nearly 498 litres, and you get to fit in all kinds of big items.
  • The boot space is designed nicely to utilize for everyday needs, be it groceries, small luggage, family road trips, and outdoor activities. It is easy to access, load and unload. 
  • Looking at the competition, Seltos' boot isn’t the largest, but they have given a lot of thought to designing to make it more practical, stylish and easy to serve.

Ride and Handling

Kia Seltos 2025 Front Right

  • For me, the Kia Seltos has always been a fun-to-drive SUV, way back since its first generation. The 2025, with both city and highway drives, seems to carry on the same flavour of enjoyable handling and smoother cruising. 
  • The steering feels perfectly nicely weighted and superbly responsive, and so cornering is easy and overall engagement inspires confidence. 
  • To make sure you have a comfortable and relaxed drive, especially on the bumpy roads in the city, the suspension strikes a good balance between comfort and firmness. Undoubtedly, Seltos scores brilliantly here.
  • Now in the handling department, it comes across as sharp and highly composed. And so, it feels delightful and entertaining to zip through the highway or open city roads, like a big, powerful SUV. 
  • All of this to say that both the turbocharged and naturally aspirated engines are perfectly tuned and refined with equally engaging gearboxes that make life a lot easier, and hardly any concerns to report. That means Kia engineers have done an outstanding job on the powertrain, which frankly is everything for this SUV.
  • The all-wheel-drive system you get is also quite a breeze with superior road grip and greater stability, which we tested on the most challenging road conditions, and indeed impressed the Seltos with the outcome. 
  • We are happy to note overwhelmingly that the ride quality has improved a lot with a much quieter and smoother ride compared to its predecessor, which you would love the experience, and certainly helps seal the deal for a lot of potential buyers.
  • While there are some minor issues here and there, like DCT’s occasional jerkiness at low speeds in city traffic, overall this mini SUV comes out with flying colours in almost everything, driving and handling elements during our test. And, Kia deserves a lot of appreciation for improving this SUV in its latest refreshment on the powertrain side.

Variant

You get to choose the Seltos from three variants that are on sale in Saudi Arabia. Each one comes with a different price and features.

  • LX: This base variant comes with the same robust powertrain that has the 1.5L naturally aspirated engine with a CVT. Then in features, it is reasonably well-equipped, like the 10.25-inch infotainment system, rear parking sensors, and standard DRIVEWiSE safety. If you’re on a tight budget but want an SUV that looks stylish and capable, then this could be your perfect choice.
  • EX: Apart from the base variant, there are additional features in this variant that make it more premium and luxurious. This includes the panoramic sunroof, wireless charging, and faux leather seats for a comfortable cabin. The powertrain is the same, comprising a 1.5L engine and CVT, and driving dynamics are quite similar, but with an extra price, you’re getting differentiated features that boost comfort and convenience in the EX.
  • SX (X-Line): This is the top-end variant with a significant price hike than the first two variants, but it looks justifying as there is a lot on offer, and targeted at performance-oriented buyers. Because it comes with a more powerful 1.5L turbocharged engine with a 7-speed DCT, bigger 18-inch alloy wheels. Then the plush dual-pane panoramic sunroof, advanced ADAS to make driving fun, along with other features to elevate your premium ownership experience.

Kia Seltos 2025 Front

Sayarabay Recommends: The Kia Seltos is a highly regarded and well-established mid-size SUV in KSA. A lot of buyers seem to like its no-nonsense drive, reliable performance and spacious cabin with a whole lot of tech. Now, choosing the right variants from the three on offer is quite straightforward, and once you know what your priorities are, the job is well done. If you’re a moderate driver but want reliability and hassle-free ownership of an SUV with average features, then the LX is for you. The EX is at a reasonable price tag, combines premium comfort and luxury, and you mostly get everything, and not losing key features with the same driving experience. At the top-end, the SX (X-Line) is quite pricey as compared to the two variants, but then that extra premium gives you a completely loaded, luxurious Seltos that looks way more stylish, elegant and has some exclusive features including ADAS. What makes the deals even more attractive across all variants is the extended 5-year/100,000-km warranty, where essentially, you’re assured of a trouble-free ownership experience.

Verdict

The Seltos is an attractive, stylish and practical mid-size SUV which offers a lot of value too, both for families and individuals. The 2025 Seltos now comes with a remarkably refreshing design and a bold and modern look. Kia has worked a lot around the cabin, which was always a big draw, but now even more appealing for its luxury, comfort and overall elegant feel. Segment best features like digital displays, leather upholstery, and advanced connectivity, including Apple CarPlay, enhancing comfort and convenience, something stands out. Importantly, the performance of the Seltos is also something that impresses, with great power at a reasonably good mileage, important for a lower running cost. Truthfully, the Seltos is a perfect SUV for buyers in KSA, both for city and highway drives; it has what it takes to make your ownership experience the best, both in performance and features. Overall, the Seltos is a compelling choice, there are hardly any visible drawbacks, and so anyone looking for a premium mid-size SUV that is reliable, spacious and also loaded with tech.
