Maaaaaaaan Kia is not taking a day off...just like Joe and Lori!!! Look at this thing!!! Absolutely gorgeous and that color is really good!!! Awesome review and coverage from the auto show!!! I feel like you stopped at every single automakers booth!!! 1M subscribers here we come!!!
What I've noticed with Kia, is they don't go CRAZY bold with exterior design/body shape(s). But they do give you so much to look at in terms of all those extra little details that really form the full picture.
IMO, that's another home run by Kia, with some fantastic improvements over the original version. The infotainment and A/C controls look great. I hope Kia will offer one in a hybrid or PHEV option (or maybe replace the Soul EV with a Seltos EV). In any case, it's at the top of the sub compact SUV market.
Has rear air vents!! Also love that you can opt this with ventilated seats. Cant even get that option in a CRV, Rogue let alone in a HRV. This model your reviewing is missing some options. Heated wheel, sunroof, power lift gate, etc.
Thanks for continuing to bring us some excitement with the videos you're on fire man. First off the color strikes beautifully, the overall design is neat would rather see it as one color but not a bad look. Thank you Lori for the camera angles you are awesome!
I love the housing for the headlights and how it’s tied in with the grill. The rims alright but probably need changed in the future for my style only, the taillights is other big thing for me as well. I don’t have any zonks for the inside so that’s good for me.
Hey Joe, hope you made your way to In and Out and had a double double animal style! Good review of the updated Seltos. Kia continues to make improvements where it’s needed. The 8-speed automatic should be a huge improvement in drivability. The dual screen infotainment and information setup is top line for the cost of the vehicle. In my view, the change to the front and back make the Seltos look more upscale. They really did a good job on the Seltos. Wonder how much the price will increase? Can’t wait for your test drive. Well done.
Very nice vehicle! And excellently displayed! Thank you both! Gosh, competition in this segment sure IS fierce, just like you said! So many interesting vehicles! This is certainly one to consider as well! Love it!
Hyundai and Kia are killing it in vehicle designs and product announcements. I like this updated Seltos. It is amazing how much content Kia/Hyundai are able to install in what is considered a budget suv. I believe there is a hybrid version of this but I don't know if we will get it in NA.
@@JT-fq2bl Not according to Korean Car Blog: According to Korean Car Blog, the Seltos will be the next to receive a hybrid-electric powertrain. Its evidence for this is internal documentation indicating that when the model, which first launched in summer 2019, gets a mid-cycle revision for 2024, it will include a new powertrain choice that includes an electric motor. It will inherit the same powertrain currently used for the Niro’s hybrid variant.
Yes, I think it is the best value regarding price and options in the category. Plus, a significant improvement over the 2023 model, which sucks because now I need to wait for a 2024!
Awesome first look Joe and Lori god bless you guys, you’re the best. Right now I’m eating dinner while watching Raiti’s rides. I just gave myself five extra horsepower. 😊😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😅😅❤❤❤❤❤
I know it may be hard to get various vehicles together at once, but would love you to do a "class line-up" comparison with 4 or so vehicles of the same class in 1 video.
I think this is the BEST vehicle to buy/lease in this category; nothing else comes close! By the way, the reason there is no sunroof on that floor model is because with a black roof the sunroof is not available. Therefore, in order to get a sunroof, the entire vehicle has to be the same color. Also, the a/c is single-zone across all trims, even the top one. I am hoping to get the turbo trim when my current lease expires in August 2024. I'm excited!!! 😄😄😄
I have a 2021 seltos I started researching these cars a year and a half before they came to the states. They were in India and Australia. I called the service department in both countries to inquire about the seltos. All the people I talk to said it was the best subcompact they’ve ever worked on, I bought mine in 2020 so I’ve had it almost 3 years and I’m thinking about getting the newer one now.
I just got the new 2023 facelift Seltos here in Korea. Interesting how some of the best new features didn't make it to the 2024 North American version and the bottom design of the bumper is also slightly different. The Korean version is boxier and doesn't have the orange lights on the side of the bumper. My Seltos has a shift-by-wire gear selector, a monitoring pack with blind spot cameras and a 360-degree view, a head-up display, paddle shifters, and a powered trunk. Shame those features didn't make it!!
Awesome detailed review Joe & Lori, ALWAYS a fantastic job on the camera! I love the one piece digital tach & info displays. It also looks very sporty and sharp. I appreciate the plastic just above the wheels, bc the salt seriously does a number on the vehicles where I live. Haha, I like how you started the car too, you're such a rebel, love it! Thanks again, cheers! 😘
I’ve been a big supporter of Kia since 2009. They’ve come alone way. And that new badging is on point. What I’m hoping for in the future is a mid size pickup truck. Hope that comes in the works one day. I’m sure it would be a lit little worker
Hi Joe, the 2024 Kia Seltos is now showing up at dealerships. I keep waiting for you to do a drive review. Please do a drive review of the Kia Seltos SX 🙂. Thank You
@@sahil9289 We have the s model with awd so it has the historically reliable 2.0 liter engine. It only has 5000 miles on it so far. But no problems yet. MPG for combined driving is about 28 mpg according to the vehicle computer.
Love this model and color!!! I drove one just like it and fell in love. Would have driven off with it if they didn’t lowball my low mileage Hyundai kona lol.
I purchased a 2023 Sportage SX-Prestige Hybrid but if this thing was around at the time (and if it had a hybrid version) I would have purchased it. I really like the way it looks.
I think the logic with no pocket behind the driver seat, but yes on the passenger seat, is because when you are driving, you could actually reach the behind the seat pocket on the passenger seat. You can't reach the back of the driver seat when you are driving unless you are plastic man or double/triple jointed.
Beautiful vehicle. Was looking at the SUBARU then came here. Wow like going from grandpa’s car to something my son would want. Love that color. Always enjoy your reviews, make me laugh.
0-60 in 5.9? Really? I read somewhere else it was slower due to the transmission not being a dct anymore!? Please clarify if this info is correct and thanks for all the reviews! you guys are great!
Just looked up the 2023. That one is able to do 6.6 secs. The 2024 will have a little more HP so maybe can get close to the 5.9 as stated. If so that would be very impressive for the price point
You guys were the best just eagerly waiting for accord hands on properly specifically the touring one. But disappointed with the hybrid only you cant get normal 😕
However i’m going to have to zonk the no sunroof. In that trim and price they should have added a standard sunroof or a panoramic sunroof. The other X-line KIA SUV’s have panoramic sunroofs.
I'm confused. How is this an X Line trim when on KIA's website it says X-Lines only have halogen fog lights NOT LED's and also NO wireless charging??? AND also this color doesn't come in the X-Line
Yes this model is missing some of the options but still pretty snazzy. Looking to get the wife a loaded up one whenever its available! I"ve never even considered KIA until i saw the seltos. As long as its less expensive to fix than a cayenne we're sold.
Some other reviewers have pointed out that the moment the speed limit is exceeded even slightly, audible alerts are heard in the cabin until the driver slows down. That would drive me NUTS and seems like such a self sabotaging own goal for Kia 🤦♂. One reviewer said it’s enough to stop him from buying the car and I tend to agree. PLEASE FIX THIS KIA!?!
Raiti. Isn't the passenger side pocket for the driver? I mean that's how I have always used them. My sorento has both the lancer has the passenger side. But the oddball in the family the aerio has one on drivers side and I hate it. 😅
This is a really good looking vehicle. Like the interior as well. Kia makes you feel like you are getting something for your money, when you sit in it. Unlike the Ford Escape……..coming up…..that looks like so cheap and basic. Thanks Joe and Lori ! 👍
I had the 2021 Kia Seltos. Sold it before going upside down because my credit was ass when I got it. But dam I may have to return to the Seltos. I host on turo so needing a car my others stay rented
Will take it over Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus any day any time. Well done Kia!!!

Non stop action from our Florida friends 😎
@@AbdullahHood he always provides good content for us and Lori of course

yes, the color is beautiful.
What I've noticed with Kia, is they don't go CRAZY bold with exterior design/body shape(s). But they do give you so much to look at in terms of all those extra little details that really form the full picture.
That’s why Hyundai Kia and genesis sell so well because they aren’t scared to do anything unlike the Japanese that always make boring look cars

They tweaked it pretty well.
@@RaitisRides They really did and it went well I’d say.

Obviously if you feel that way because you haven't been burned by their oil consumption problems in their new cars
@@asianstud7 sorry James, i haven’t. I did have an issue with an alternator once. That’s about it. Just followed the maintenance protocol 🤷🏻♂️
Nice review Joe As Always
That means so much!
Thanks for your informative reviews- I'm digging these!
You are so very welcome Tracy!
Every video, every review...always top quality.
Thank you for acknowledging that David!
I love it Joe and Lori and keep up the good work and I love the video real true 👍 💯💯💯
Thanks Dominic! We can not do it without!
My very first Korean SUV!! Nice video Joe.
I am glad that you are liking this one Jeremiah!
@@RaitisRidesI'll agree with you Joe.
Just in love with this color! Makes me wanna go trade my 2021 Kia Seltos in for it
I hope this car is affordable this is a gorgeous color. I wish it had a sunroof ❤
Omg I still want a Kia Seltos & that color 😻😻😻😻 I hope when it rolls out that they include a sunroof in that color 🥰🥰🥰
I am glad that you are digging this one.
They will but not with a black roof
Hi Joe, the 2024 Kia Seltos is now showing up at dealerships. I keep waiting for you to do a drive review. Please do a drive review of the Kia Seltos SX 🙂. Thank You
In Canada, we're getting ventilated seats for front row and heated seats for second row. Surprised these are not included in the US model.
And Memory drivers seat plus power passenger seat plus HUD! It also has 17" tires.
Really a killer in Asian market, this new version is just perfect!!
They are doing big things over at Kia!
The is definitely a "Baby Telluride ". The camera-woman did a great job showing the car. And keeping up with the host. I'm sold. Gotcha one.
Love this crossover 😍
It has a nice style to you!
Great job , great camera work, I had a 21now I’m ready for a 24 model!!
0-60 5.9 seconds?? That sounds a second or two quicker than what I would have imagined
I know right!
This couple is the best in the car review industry. ❤
I have a Kia 2022 Seltos and I love it!
Have a 2023 and we love it. Best value on the market.
Hello, How is the reliability and fuel economy so far ? I am planning tonplace an order for this one.
@@sahil9289 We have the s model with awd so it has the historically reliable 2.0 liter engine. It only has 5000 miles on it so far. But no problems yet. MPG for combined driving is about 28 mpg according to the vehicle computer.
@@donlarsenjr2332 Thanks for info. 👍
What colour is that? It's beautiful 😍
Yup already canceled my order that I had in for a ‘23. Can’t wait till orders open for the’24!
I love the color! But no panoramic sunroof is a deal breaker for me.
That is a tough one!
You can get a sunroof in that colour but not with a black roof
What a nice color. Don't love the grille on this, slightly too busy. Rear end is gorgeous though
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one Danner!
Love this model and color!!! I drove one just like it and fell in love. Would have driven off with it if they didn’t lowball my low mileage Hyundai kona lol.
Hey Joe, what's your thoughts on Kia reliability? I understand that they had engine failure issues not to long ago!
I purchased a 2023 Sportage SX-Prestige Hybrid but if this thing was around at the time (and if it had a hybrid version) I would have purchased it. I really like the way it looks.
@@jackstubbington387 I love it actually. The ride is softer than my last vehicle and so it took some getting used to but now I like it a lot.
Good review Joe like always working hard like always 👍
What color exterior is this? I haven’t seen it anywhere and I love it!!!
Still wish there was an option of all black front and sides vs. the chrome/silver look trim.
Kia is playing hard ball at that segment! Looks like a very good deal with that engine and transmission.
I think the logic with no pocket behind the driver seat, but yes on the passenger seat, is because when you are driving, you could actually reach the behind the seat pocket on the passenger seat. You can't reach the back of the driver seat when you are driving unless you are plastic man or double/triple jointed.
This is true but what about the other people in the vehicles?
Beautiful vehicle. Was looking at the SUBARU then came here. Wow like going from grandpa’s car to something my son would want. Love that color. Always enjoy your reviews, make me laugh.
Needs a panoramic sunroof hopefully it will be a option. I still wouldn't get rid of my santa cruz but my wife wants a new car
In Korea & India they get a Shift By Wire Gear Shifter, not the stick version here in the states. 🤔
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. 👍
The color looks very nice.
Looks great. I wonder if the forte gt will get the digital display and 8 speed auto.
0-60 in 5.9? Really? I read somewhere else it was slower due to the transmission not being a dct anymore!? Please clarify if this info is correct and thanks for all the reviews! you guys are great!

@@patricksk I completely agree that's why I want to double check. I don't believe the new model has the dct trans though
@@daysofthen That's a relief because the old dct trans was an absolute dog. The new 8speed is much smoother
Very nice 👌🏽...When will they be available❓️
Later this year!
Best videos on the unreleased car models!
ITS SOOO PRETTYYYY!! When is the release date??
Happy that they ditched the dual clutch. That was a common complaint from reviewers on previous years. The fuel numbers will be interesting to see.
You guys were the best just eagerly waiting for accord hands on properly specifically the touring one. But disappointed with the hybrid only you cant get normal 😕
You guys have a 1.8L engine in the description is that a type o?
i traded my 21 forte in for a 21 seltos but once i get the chance i want a Xline trim with a sunroof
Awesome review. Gorgeous car
Nice demo.❤❤❤
Will Kia offer a heated steering wheel in any trim?
It’s The One, that One!
My next vehicle!❤
Happy Black Friday Joe! Kia time!
Let's do this!
@@RaitisRides ;D
So does either trim have a moon roof.
YES, I was waiting for this one!!!!
Doesn’t this new Seltos offer a power tailgate? I thought it does which trim will offer this very important if you buy
The best thing they did to this new Selto’s no fake dual mufflers. Those were a big fat zonk on the previous ones.
However i’m going to have to zonk the no sunroof. In that trim and price they should have added a standard sunroof or a panoramic sunroof. The other X-line KIA SUV’s have panoramic sunroofs.
That color is stunning.!

Any idea of the release date?

It s all new!

That is definitely one way to look at it. As kids we put all of our things in there.
I just got mine 😍😍😍😍
Is there a PHEV/BEV version?
Not as of right now.
You’re sounding better. Take your vitamin C homie.
Thanks Ken! You better believe it!
PERFECT CAR IN MID SIZE LOOK BETTER AMAZING RIDE QUALITY AND AWSOME FEATURES AMONG OTHERS
This is a really good looking vehicle. Like the interior as well. Kia makes you feel like you are getting something for your money, when you sit in it. Unlike the Ford Escape……..coming up…..that looks like so cheap and basic. Thanks Joe and Lori ! 👍
Ford just recalled nearly 700k worldwide for fire risk. SMH

Toyota and Honda have better engines though. Kia and Hyundai like to throw the interiors at you with a shittier engine.
