Kia Seltos generations

The Kia Seltos is one of the most innovative models from the Korean automaker, combining design, reliability, and top-notch quality. So if you're considering purchasing a car, make sure to take a look at this crossover, which is among the top ten leaders in the Israeli car market.

The Kia Seltos is often chosen as a first car for beginner drivers or a second one for young families, but not exclusively. This convenient urban crossover fits perfectly with Israeli standards: it has a vivid appearance, a dynamic nature, compact dimensions that allow for parking in tight spaces, an extensive list of standard equipment, and a small engine that is fuel-efficient. Another significant point is its affordability.

The Kia Seltos has been in production since 2019, undergoing a facelift in 2022. Before the update, the crossover was available in one version - with a 2-liter engine, CVT, and front-wheel drive.

According to reviews from Israeli car owners, the Kia Seltos offers a pleasing drive: there's no unnecessary shaking on light off-roads, no helpless tilting during swift, smooth turns - just the sheer joy of driving. The car ensures lane keeping, is equipped with a collision prevention system, and offers a choice of three driving modes: eco, normal, and sport. There are 6 airbags, cruise control, ABS, ESP, ARS systems, and hill start and descent assistants.

In June 2023, sales of the updated Kia Seltos began in Israel. After the facelift, the crossover has become more aesthetically appealing, receiving a fresh design and a fashionable combined display composed of two 10.25-inch screens. The body length increased by 15 mm to 4390 mm. The width remains the same at 1800 mm, as does the height at 1615 mm. The wheelbase stands at 2630 mm.

The refreshed 2023 Kia Seltos continues to be available with a 2-liter petrol engine and a CVT. However, there are now two trims (previously there were three). The base EX includes: 17-inch alloy wheels, climate control, front seat heating, an electric parking brake, a smart key, remote engine start, cruise control, a rearview camera, and sensors for light, rain, and parking. The top-tier Premium adds a combination of fabric and leather upholstery, ambient interior lighting, and LED taillights.

The facelift brought numerous safety enhancements to the updated Kia Seltos: autonomous braking, active lane keeping monitoring, active blind-spot monitoring, automatic high beams, rear cross-traffic alert, driver state monitoring, and a reminder to check the back seat – and that's not even the full list.

Purchasing a Kia Seltos in Israel offers numerous advantages. You get a car with high build quality and a superb comfort level, a spacious and practical interior, decent dynamics, and a wealth of features. Modern safety systems make the crossover an ideal choice for driving on both urban and rural roads in Israel.
