Kia unveiled the refreshed 2024 Seltos at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show, and now the Korean brand has officially announced pricing for the SUV, with the model starting at $25,715 (all pricing includes the $1,325 destination fee).
The exterior styling of the Seltos was refreshed for the 2024 model year, with the front end getting a reworked “tiger nose” grille and new headlights; new LED projector headlamps are available. Meanwhile, the rear of the SUV gets a new light bar that connects the taillights, among other subtle tweaks.
Inside, the Seltos now offers an optional panoramic display that combines a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and 10.25-inch touchscreen into one unit; it comes bundled with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A 4.2-inch digital gauge cluster and a smaller 8-inch touchscreen are standard on the base model. The SUV also comes with Kia’s Digital Key 2 Touch app that allows owners to lock, unlock and start their Seltos with a paired smartphone or tablet.
Performance for the 2024 Seltos comes from two engines, with the LX, S and EX variants getting a 146-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission. Higher trims come with a 195-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder paired with an eight-speed automatic. Front-wheel drive is standard on the S and EX trims, and all-wheel drive is available; the rest of the Seltos family gets standard AWD. The 2024 Seltos gets an EPA-estimated 28/34/31 mpg city/highway/combined with FWD and the 2.0-liter four-cylinder, while adding AWD bumps these figures down to 27/31/29 mpg. Meanwhile, the AWD-only 1.6-liter four-cylinder achieves an EPA-estimated 25/27/26 mpg.
