2021 Kia Seltos consumer reviews

Attractive and fun to drive, but there have been issues - and it’s too new for that. Stalling problems around 2nd year. Now strange pauses in acceleration feeling like a stall is imminent. Car is rather light also. Good for gas mileage, not so much for wind. Great size, pretty comfortable, but for this price you can find better reliability. Never had any issues like this with Hondas.

I got mine new in 2021. I've had a few small thing that had to be repaired but nothing major. My Seltos runs well and get good mileage

I just purchased one yesterday!! I must say I’m quite impressed with this I can’t believe I’m going to say this but I’ve always driven a Jeep wrangler well it’s time for something new and this has been so perfect for me I absolutely love it 😍

We leased the car in November, 2020. My wife drove to Massachusetts several times during the next 5 months. Got great gas mileage and handled excellent. We're so happy with the car, we're buying out the lease. I'm 6'5" and have minimal problems getting in and out. I also use a rollator, and have adequate room to transport it in the rear storage area. This is our 5th Kia and have never had any major problems with the brand. Great car for the price.

Save money on gas. 2 week on a tank of gas Get up and go. The kia dealership has a great team. Best warranty ever

handles extremely well. great on fuel. quiet and love the interior. Lots of room. Climbs hills with ease. All instruments are easy to reach. Just what I wanted.

I have mixed feelings about my 2021 Seltos. I loved the way it looked and drives great. I bought it April 2021 and a few months ago the check engine light was blinking while I was driving on the freeway. It was not overheating and no sounds or issues. I called the dealership and they said bring it in right away. They kept it for a couple weeks and they couldn't find anything wrong with it, cleared the light and gave it back to me. A couple weeks later it happened again, exactly the same. I was frustrated and had a lot going on so I had the light cleared and kept driving it. I told the dealership I had it cleared and would call them if it came back on and guess what...a few weeks later it came back on, exactly the same thing. It's been with the dealership now for about 4 weeks. First, after having it for 2 weeks they said it was the pistons and a specialist would fix it. Then a week later they said they will order another engine and it would take 3-5 weeks to get it back to me. All this time no loaner, thankfully my in-laws have an extra car they were kind enough to let me borrow. I called today to find out if they received the "new engine" and I found out it's not a totally new engine. It's an already existing block and they ordered all new parts. I have had enough and now I want to sell it. Let's see how much BS they give me. I have lost my faith in Kia. I previously owned a 2010 Kia Optima and had no issues. My daughter still drives it. Wish I could say the same about my Seltos. I miss my Seltos but definitely ready to sell and definitely won't buy another Kia, EVER!

I have a brand new 2021 Kia it’s Seltos S with 19,700 miles. I’ve had the oil changed four times the engine needs replaced because there is sludge Kia will not pay for it. They said the vehicle was not taken care of even though I have receipts.

This car is 2years old with 120000 miles. The car is undriveable and unsafe. The differential is defective. Makes loud noises.I was told by my dealership it would be a month (December 7th )before they could look at it. They told me call around maybe l would get lucky. .

Gas mileage, style very nice, seats are uncomfortable cause glute pain/leg pain, lower back fits uncomfortable driver seat heighten needs to be higher. For people who are vertically challenged. Great car for traveling/ vacation/fun to drive/passenger seat warning goes off when it feels like it
