Agreed but I have test driven the Yaris Cross and the Seltos in Baguio. The interior quality/materials and NVH of the Seltos is A LOT better than the Yaris Cross.
Any changes to the suspension? In the previous model, you would “intimately get to know every bump and hole on the road”. I wonder if Kia addressed this.
Emzoom is a better option for me. Better interior, more tech and a more powerful engine. Plus factor pa yung exterior as it looks more modern and masculine than this.
Been wondering when are you shooting your car reviews. I'd like to see them, because the venue is in our town.. perhaps one of your subscribers can hitch a ride during your video shoot... Haha😆
saw this in the color black....passed my eye and had to take a 2nd look cause i thought it was a mini Ford Explorer. Its bigger than the other crossover's out there. Looks better the its older version.
I think the type a usb is also for flashdrive maybe if your gonna play some music files i guess but who still uses that?. i know bt is the most common nowadays.
This is not a facelift (I guess in Philippines it is sold as one) but it actually is a different version of Seltos. Basically there are 3 different versions, SP2 which is the international version and is sold in South Korea, US, Australia etc, then there's SP2i which a smaller variant made for markets like India and other developing nations, then there's SP2c which is the Chinese variant and is the largest of them all with a bigger wheelbase and completely different interior design. Previously, from 2019 - 2023, Philippines used to get the international variant (SP2), now after 2023 they have introduced the Chinese variant (SP2c) in Philippines. That's why it feels bigger and visually different.
Hence the panoramic sunroof, smaller engine, DCT and Adaptive Cruise, but it probably has a 360 camera in China so they stripped that out to make it more affordable here. It should be cheaper here because of the reduction in taxes and duties on 1.5L and smaller engines coming from China to the Philippines.
@@tlevans62 Yes it should be cheaper but like I said, the Chinese version is bigger than the other two with a better interior, so it has more and expensive materials used in it, making it much more expensive.
However, other Chinese cars sold here with more features and just as big, have prices around 1.3 million PHP, not 1.7... That's the problem. Too much competition at lower prices here so it won't do well in the market, at least the top variant won't. Kia and Hyundai in the Philippines have struggled due to high prices and lack of features, this one has some nice features, but the price is too high for the market.
Ford Territory first Gen here, was 1.3 with three years free service. Chery Tiggo 8 Pro was just over 1.3 with the same features. That's an even larger vehicle.
I’m sorry what? As Sir Caco stated it is a “TURBO” but once he started describing the engine specs and details he now says “it is a 1.4 liter Naturally Aspirated engine” what? So what is it a turbo or a Naturally aspirated one?
Facelift or no facelift, theres just but less than a handful of these on the road. Very rare you see one. I drive everyday along edsa, and yes, not a single sighting of the seltos. I feel sorry for this model. This just doesnt cut it. Even kia's showroom in sheridan is devoid of any seltos.. sad.
turbo charged tapos NA Caco?! haha pero yea, too pricey for me. Chinese brands like GAC and Geely have a lot more to offer, and if comparing Kia/Hyundai to GAC alone, personally I'd go GAC. pero that's just me.
Kia Sonet Sx ang mas ahead dyan s Seltos, mas mtaas pa ground clearance, ska same lng nman sila 1.5 at interior, may sunroof dn s sonet, mas mhba nga lng ky Seltos at nka 17inch kc s Seltos s Sonet ayn16 lng,, pero s presyo nman 1 milyon.138k n sonet, di hmak n mas affordable kesa nman s kmkha dn ng sonet n Seltos n may 1.6 milyon..woww😂
Honestly it has features that I think are great but it ain't necessary. The Toyota cross has got better practical features in terms of hybrid and also got cameras. I totally love the kia design but for it's price, I am not satisfied.
Question ❓ Besides this olive green monotone color,.What are the other color variations? O and just like the old model,,.. Hopefully it also has a two tone color O and yeah,.Type-C ports have already entered our world and just like #Earl who's a type-C user I'm also planning to have my own too,. Since it's also much more convenient 👍😉👍 So? Thanks Earl for shouting that out 👍😉🌞
@@shinyumi761mag motor ka na lang wag mo pilitin mag car or suv kasi di mo talaga kaya yan. wag mo pahirapan sarili mo para lang makasabay ka sa mga kakilala mo at may maiflex sa social media.
saw this in real life this is so POGI and EYE REFRESHING crossover lalo yung white!! solid sunroofed kia
Looks like a solid 1.2-1.3M car
Finally, Adaptive Cruise!!! Best feature you can ask for, here in the Philippines.
At the price, i would’ve wanted a power tailgate, mild hybrid setup.
Might as well consider a stretch version with a 7 seater - perhaps a Seltos XL.
"bear with me and pony up" got me
Sana makarating din yung Kia Tasman dito sa Pinas. Ganda ng steering wheel ng Kia, gaan sobra.
priced right if theres a powerlift gate and 360 camera. thats only to make it at least competitive. hybrid to destroy the competition
Agree way to pricey with no powerlift gate and 360 camera. No thanks.
Agreed but I have test driven the Yaris Cross and the Seltos in Baguio. The interior quality/materials and NVH of the Seltos is A LOT better than the Yaris Cross.
@@rupertfdr350 fuel consumption is also a LOT worse in the Seltos smh
Hows the DCT in the city driving?
Same here. In that price point, 360 camera and power tailgate should have been a given.
This is more than a facelift IMO. A worthy competitor vs the Honda HRV.
Which do you think is better between the two?
Nag test drive ako neto. Masarap idrive in fairness. Pero nakulangan ako sa features. No power tailgate, no 360 Cam, not even a blind spot monitoring.
Tpos prize nya kc mhal n ng Suv at civic honda RS n may honda sensing😂
I think I would rather go for the Territory Titanium X than the Seltos considering the price. You will have the 360 camera and powerliftgate
But Ford Territory is actually a china crossover. Just not my cup of tea.
Territory fuel consumption issues
how does it compare w the facelifted Tucson GLS? thanks.
Next gen territory price and features outclass the seltos. The new Sonet however, best in class 🔥🔥
Any changes to the suspension? In the previous model, you would “intimately get to know every bump and hole on the road”. I wonder if Kia addressed this.
Confused kung alin sa dalawa ang pipiliin ko..seltos SX or corolla cross v hev. any suggestions please🙏
Actually same predicament
@@daywithdom6114 hands down its the CROSS HEV due to the HEV 😎
They are not in the same class
Emzoom is a better option for me. Better interior, more tech and a more powerful engine. Plus factor pa yung exterior as it looks more modern and masculine than this.
is the transmission still jerky like the previous seltos?
Can the rear seats recline backwards?
Byd sealion, Emzoom!😊
Been wondering when are you shooting your car reviews. I'd like to see them, because the venue is in our town.. perhaps one of your subscribers can hitch a ride during your video shoot... Haha😆
Where is the venue? It has a very nice view. I'd love to go there someday.
I miss Jack and his water bottle. Get well soon, Jack!!!
Can't you guys please use Jack always for showing head and leg room for each rows to really emphasize the spaces... ✌
Very scenic location of your shoot. Where is it?
Toyota cross fuel or Kia Seltos?
HEV is not ideal in hot climate in Kuwait to be specific.
I always look forward to your funny quirks.
Am correct to understand that all Philippine variant do not offer a 360º Camera?
Thanks guys!
saw this in the color black....passed my eye and had to take a 2nd look cause i thought it was a mini Ford Explorer.
Its bigger than the other crossover's out there. Looks better the its older version.
@1.7M, i have gotten the Xforce with the yamaha speakers
Does it have ambient lighting?
Lmao... Caco rolling with all the puns.. 🤗🤗🤗
May lack a 360 camera and a power tailgate but damn, still looks worth it for the price. Better if there are discounts!
I agree but at least it has ventilated seats which its competitors don’t offer.
@@jaredsy-jntstv1266the ventilated seats also works really well, kahit sa Carnival, EV6 saka Sorento. nice feature to have specially dito sa atin.
Darating ba dito ang sportage 2024 hybrid
I am waiting for this too. I love Kia Sportage.
Ano na ba ang mga fuel-efficient crossover ngayon?
Raize
Almost 1.7M, with lacking certain feature like 360 degree camera. Rather pricey. Corolla Cross might be even better at same price range model.
agreed. you can get a much bigger SUV for that price
NOT EVERYONE NEEDS A PICKUP BASEED SUV
great review
I think the type a usb is also for flashdrive maybe if your gonna play some music files i guess but who still uses that?. i know bt is the most common nowadays.

Ford Territory first Gen here, was 1.3 with three years free service. Chery Tiggo 8 Pro was just over 1.3 with the same features. That's an even larger vehicle.
Na try nyo na po ba mag apply ng SANGLA ORCR sa Global Dominion Financing, Inc.?
Yes
where did u shoot the intro? nice view
tagaytay
Review the Kia Sonet pls! :)
I wish they sacrificed moonroof for 360 cam.
Lots of these KIA model running in the US. Must be a good sign.
In my recent trip to Canada, a lot of Kia too. Lalo na Seltos and Sorrento
Since when did DCT have better fuel economy than CVT?
Review Kia sonet please
Great review caco
Nice car but that's the same price as a Chery 8 pro which has more tech and bigger engine and better warranty. Maybe you should test drive to find out
I wanna know how the PH Seltos stacks up with our ASEAN neighbors?
I’m sorry what? As Sir Caco stated it is a “TURBO” but once he started describing the engine specs and details he now says “it is a 1.4 liter Naturally Aspirated engine” what? So what is it a turbo or a Naturally aspirated one?
9:22
It's 1.4L Turbo. The 2 lower end ones are 1.5L naturally aspirated.
better than X-Force
very nice shoot location
kia sonet review pls.
I would rather swap the sunroof for 360 camera, front and rear sensors and power tailgate. Way too expensive without those features
Where is jack? What happened to him? 😮
The Honda HRV looks better but this is more of Bang for the buck 👌🏼
Gaano ba kamahal yang power tailgate na yan at pinagdadamot nila? 😂😂😂
Cooled seats >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> power tailgate IMHO.
20k to 30k if installed outside
Nag test drive ako neto. Kahit blind spot monitoring nga wala eh. 😅
My nightmare experience with KIA's long term supply for their vehicles makes this brand a "no thank you" for me. Previous owner of a 2014 KIA Carnival
the funniest car reviewer and video camera guy duo 😂

I'm confused, Caco says it has a turbo but it's 1.4L naturally aspirated?
Only SX (1.688M) has Turbo. The rest, LX (1.198M) and EX (1.288M) doesn't have.
@darktemplar8140 thanks.
turbo charged tapos NA Caco?! haha pero yea, too pricey for me. Chinese brands like GAC and Geely have a lot more to offer, and if comparing Kia/Hyundai to GAC alone, personally I'd go GAC. pero that's just me.
Not Japan crossovers

Boycott Daihatsu
i just wnt tge Kia Sonet here…
Gac gs3 R style will eat that alive, 1.198m vs 1.7m.
china 🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
This facelifted Kia Seltos is manufactured in China, replacing the Korean made original model sold here before.
toyota alphard review po sir
The indian version has 360 and adas too but that gear lever on Filipino version 🥵
Philippine version is sourced from China..The Indian made Seltos is less safer
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer yes it is but I think they have made it better with 2024 version bcoz Creta based on same platform has got reinforced too
1.4 liter but has a turbo. Next, it has a 1.4 NA engine. Ano ba talaga koya?
Where's Jack?
Mahal sa 1.7M - but why should HARI care?
Question ❓
Besides this olive green monotone color,.What are the other color variations? O and just like the old model,,.. Hopefully it also has a two tone color
O and yeah,.Type-C ports have already entered our world and just like #Earl who's a type-C user
I'm also planning to have my own too,. Since it's also much more convenient 👍😉👍
So? Thanks Earl for shouting that out 👍😉🌞
This is actually the pluton blue. Theres also a white pearl with blck top and a gravity gray.
@@vonjorel Aooohhhh ok,.So it has only one! And that's the white pearl with a blackOut roofline
#Nice 👍😉👍
is that the same as kia sonet?
that's stonic, this competes with HR-Vs and the likes
mahal. the Next Gen Ford Territory X or Sport is a better buy and cheaper. Much stronger at 158HP. 5 year warranty.
Nice car 👌🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I rather go to GAC GS4 based on its engine specs. :D
seltos vs sonet 🤔
1.4liter NA? Seltos is a heavy car
1.4 Turbo
at 1.7 you can already buy a very good HEV for that LOL
this is way overpriced. i know a 1.1-3 m cars thats better than this 1.7 m
For the price i would be buying the Toyota Corolla cross G HEV for a much lesser price.
Eh di bumili ka 😂
Over prize
I tend to mute this guy and simply read the subtitles. His voice and affect give me a migraine.
Ford Territory anybody?
How about......no?
no to ford..
has a lot of reliability and maintenance issues even on its homeland in america

seltos. the kia that looked like a volkswagen until volkswagen did their update
lucky phillipines get a more beautiful seltos... nicer center console than the indian version
yeah that's expensive
Too much. 1.2M for top of the line yes.
9:08 1.4 NA tapos may turbo. 😂😂😂😂
Turbo? Naturally aspirated engine? Ano ba talaga?😅
...
1st
1.7m gets you a Hybrid Yaris.. more features, better fuel economy, and TOYOTA :)
Panget Ang amg a Japanese crossovers
You mean a daihatsu with toyota price? 😂
And btw this is not a yaris competitor, the yaris is too small, this is a corolla cross competitor which is a true toyota and priced the same
I'll go for Korean crossovers specially upcoming raize rival
@@topethermohenes7658yup id also go for a Corolla Cross especially the redesigned one.
