Sure, it's name sounds like a drug advertised during Jeopardy!, but it's a small SUV that's equal parts sensible and stylish

We have yet to test the Seltos with the base powertrain. We found it to be underpowered in the lighter sedan – which probably isn't a good sign – and the"IVT" transmission to be unusual. It simulates gear ratios during most driving conditions, making it feel normal enough , but when accelerating hard, it'll hang onto revs as a CVT would before eventually"upshifting" a ratio. It's weird, but again, we haven't tested it in the Seltos.

The rest of the Seltos driving experience is typical for a Kia: capable, composed but not especially memorable. The ride sops up bigger bumps surprisingly well for an inexpensive crossover, perhaps in part due to 18-inch wheels being the biggest size available. At the same time, its chassis shows poise around corners and we could pleasantly hustle it along a mountain road without it feeling like a hopeless fish out of water.
