The 2021 Kia Seltos joins the rapidly growing SUV lineup from Kia. The Kia Seltos offers drivers in Ramsey, NJ the perfect balance - it is a tad longer than the Kia Soul but not as big as the Kia Sportage. The new Seltos features a stylish exterior design with a two-tone roof and a pleasant front end. With this design, the new Seltos stands out from the rest of the small SUVs. This beauty's driving force is a 146 hp base engine, but you still have an optional 175 hp engine. Both engines rapidly accelerate and have the AWD configuration that is very useful on bad roads or bad weather (only the base trim has the FWD).
The style and elegance of the Kia Seltos continue into the cabin. There is plenty of high-quality materials that are offered at an affordable price. These materials dress well-cushioned seats with enough rear legroom even for 6-foot tall adults. Moreover, the technology in the new Seltos is state-of-the-art with plenty of entertainment, convenience, and safety features. Moreover, if you have some cargo that needs hauling, the Seltos provides ample storage space, which can be increased by folding the rear seats. We at Liberty Kia recommend the Kia Seltos to drivers who want a powerful, comfortable, elegant, and premium small SUV at a very affordable price.
