    Kia Seltos 2021

    Kia Seltos 2021

    FROM
    $23,760

    The 2021 Kia Seltos range of configurations is currently priced from $16,990.

    Our most recent review of the 2021 Kia Seltos resulted in a score of 8.3 out of 10 for that particular example.

    Carsguide Contributing journalist Peter Anderson had this to say at the time: While the price may have gone up, the Seltos Sport+ is still excellent value. With a very solid tech vibe, tons of space and an impressive after-sales package, it's a family car that's incredibly difficult to fault.

    This is what Peter Anderson liked most about this particular version of the Kia Seltos: Great looks, Nice to drive, Heaps of space

    The 2021 Kia Seltos carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1100 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.

    Kia Seltos 2021 Interior

    The Seltos's interior isn't particularly plush with plenty of hard plastics used through the cabin - even on the top grade GT-Line although it does have much nicer 'premium' seats. That said the cloth seats on the grades below are comfortable and tasteful in their design.

    There are no directional air vents or power outlets in the back.

    Kia Seltos 2021 FAQs

    My 2021 Kia Seltos two-litre pings when pushed. It does it in all drive modes...

    I would reject the assertion that all modern engines ping because they run lean. Pinging (or detonation or pre-ignition, call it what you will) is a symptom of a problem (usually with the ignition timing or fuel mixture) and it’s not something you should expect to hear. Over time, continued pinging will damage the engine’s internal components and then you’re faced with a huge bill instead.

    The knock sensor should detect the first signs of pinging (even before you’ve heard it) and adjust the engine’s ignition curve (generally) to stop it happening. So, either the knock sensor’s not working or the computer that is supposed to control the engine’s settings isn’t operating correctly. The fact that a tankful of 98RON fuel stops the problem suggests that the engine settings are off.

    Kia recommends normal 91 RON ULP for the Seltos and says that E10 fuel is also compatible with the vehicle. So there should be no need to buy the more costly 98 RON stuff just to prevent the engine pinging. Your vehicle is still well and truly under warranty, so make it Kia’s problem to fix it. And don’t be fobbed off by `they all do that, Sir’.
