The extra ground clearance
As with most crossovers, the Kia Seltos has 170 mm of ground clearance which gives drivers the added confidence to tackle any urban obstacle ahead. All thanks to its raised-up body, forward visibility is also better when compared to your average sedan or hatchback. Aside from that, it could also help you cross through minor floods during the rainy season.
Its 8-inch infotainment system
In-car entertainment is provided by an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system that is standard across the range. It comes with various multimedia functions like Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which allows you to project Google Maps or Waze through the 8-inch head unit and play some music with its 6-speaker sound system.
Cargo space is generous
The Kia Seltos not only has a good amount of space for 5 passengers, but it also has a boot area that can accommodate your cargo loading needs. On paper, the subcompact crossover has 433-liters of space with the second-row seats up. Fold them down, and its figures go over 866-liters which is pretty good for its size.
It's got plenty of storage areas
Aside from its spacious interior that can comfortably accommodate your passengers and deliver in terms of your cargo loading needs, part of its strong practicality points is the abundance of storage areas. Front occupants have one under the air-conditioning controls that is plenty enough for your wallet, two smartphones, and spare coins, plus, it’s also got a glove box, center console, average-sized door pockets, and two cup holders for your refreshments. The rear seats also come with a rear seat pocket and bottle holders on each door.
Select trims get a cruise control
