Evidently, there are a lot of those customers, and evidently a lot of THOSE customers like the Seltos, which has in just four short years become a leader in the segment. A segment that unofficially counts 15 models; Kia’s success with its Seltos is a feat to be acknowledged.For 2024, the model has gotten a little love just to make sure it stays a leader. Notable updates include some exterior design adjustments front and back, as well as the addition of a power tailgate on upper trims.
Other than the new headlight design , the front end gets a modified radiator grille, tweaked bumper with new vertical fog lamps and a redesigned skid plate. At the back the bumper is also refreshed, the rear combination lights are different – as per industry trends, there’s now a continuous horizontal light spanning the vehicle’s width - and there’s a new tailgate garnish.
Different themes are available on the customizable digital instrument cluster. Top grades get driver memory seat, and there are now two USB chargers for rear seats. Note the debut of the digital key feature with this model. Previously seen with the Telluride and Sportage, this gives owners the option of accessing their vehicle using only their smartphone.As mentioned, our day in Prince Edward County did not provide the opportunity to test the new Seltos on the highway, so that will be for another time. But we had plenty of occasion to put the SX’s updated powertrain to the test in every other situation.

Which few Seltos drivers are likely to do.
