Kia Seltos 2023

Kia Seltos 2023

FROM
$27,390

The 2023 Kia Seltos range of configurations is currently priced from $27,897.

Carsguide Contributing Journalist Andrew Chesterton had this to say at the time: Still is a super-solid offering in the small SUV segment, the Kia Seltos delivers plenty of size and style for your investment. If it was me, I'd at least drive the front-wheel drive version — which isn't just cheaper but uses less fuel, too — before making my decision, but Kia's city-friendly SUV remains a good thing in a not-too-small package.

This is what Andrew Chesterton liked most about this particular version of the Kia Seltos: Stylish, inside and out, Turbocharged engine doesn't want for poke, Spacious cabin, capacious boot

The 2023 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 2023 Boot Space

Boot capacity depends on if you’ve requested a full-sized spare wheel or the space-saver spare. With the space-saver you’ll have more room at 469 litres while the full-sized wheel under the boot floor will leave you with 433 litres. That’s still decent for the class.

Kia Seltos 2023 FAQs

My 2023 Kia Seltos GT-Line's driver's seat might be faulty. What rights do I have under warranty?

Australian Consumer Law is pretty specific when it comes to this stuff. It’s the carmaker’s responsibility to return the vehicle to a drivable, safe state (which it isn’t if the seat moves on its own) at no cost to you if the problem is a genuine warranty claim (which it sounds like it might be). But you do have the responsibility to give a reasonable time frame and opportunity for this to happen.

If the car can’t be fixed, then you may have a case against the dealer that supplied the car and possibly the manufacturer as well. Either way, if a fix can’t be found, you may be entitled to a repair, replacement or refund if the car fails to meet the terms of the ACCC’s Consumer Guarantees legislation.
