The Seltos is the small SUV that has quietly become one of Kia's biggest sellers in Australia. The 2023 update brings the new grille and the 'Star-Map' signature lighting, plus a refreshed cabin and the upgraded Kia connected services package. The GT Line is the top trim, with the 1.6 L turbo petrol and AWD as standard.
What you are buying
A 1.6 L turbo petrol making 146 kW and 265 Nm, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, driving all four wheels through Kia's HTRAC AWD system. The GT Line adds the panoramic roof, the larger touchscreen, the leather sport seats, and the upgraded driver assistance pack.
Cartell Assessment
The Seltos GT Line is the small SUV for the buyer who wants the AWD and the turbo punch without stepping up into the Sportage range. It is quicker than most rivals, the cabin is properly resolved, and the Kia warranty is the longest in the segment.
AU Outlook
Seltos GT Line AWD pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$40k drive-away range. The non-turbo S, Sport and Sport+ trims are cheaper. Cross-shop is the Hyundai Kona N Line, the Mazda CX-30 and the Volkswagen T-Roc R-Line.
