The Seltos is Kia Canada's newest hit. Joining top models like the Forte and Sorento at the top of Kia's best sellers list, the Seltos landed in Kia showrooms in early spring and instantly became one of the most popular vehicles in its crossover segment.
Across Canada, more than 4,000 copies of the Seltos were sold between May and July, and the Seltos instantly became the most in-demand vehicle at Centennial Kia. So, how did the 2021 Kia Seltos so quickly become such a popular vehicle?

Here's what the critics are saying.
"With AWD standard on all but the base model, fine driving dynamics, and interior space that completely belies is outer dimensions, the Seltos will be kicking some posterior in the cute-ute playground." – Driving.ca
"While the Korean brand's latest box on wheels, the new 2021 Seltos, may be tough to classify—it sits right on the border between subcompact and compact—it's apparent after just a few minutes behind the wheel that it shares some of the Telluride's class-climbing excellence." – Car And Driver
"Overall, Kia has supplied the Seltos with the style, interior space, and technology to stand out in a segment that's seeing demand soar. And you're not only getting the looks; the Seltos delivers on the handling and fun factors." MotorTrend
"Inside, it’s evident that the Seltos is just bigger than a lot of other subcompacts. The front cabin is appropriately large and the seats are supportive. The backseat is spacious enough for an adult to fit, and is made more comfy by the addition of a reclining seatback. Cargo space is above average and increases when you fold down the 60/40-split backseat." Cars.com
"Add Kia’s industry-leading warranty program, the impressive quality of the controls and switchgear, and the depth and breadth of its technology, and new 2021 Seltos strikes me as a real bargain – like any Kia is." J.D. Power
"Overall, especially for couples or small families, this one’s a winner." AutoTrader.ca
"The Kia Seltos, meanwhile, offers a bit of everything. It's stylish without being unconventional and offers excellent value, thanks to all of its driver-assistance technology, creature comforts and interior space." CNET Roadshow
"It’s very nice inside the Seltos, with plenty of space for four passengers and high-quality materials everywhere you can touch. The rear seats recline for even more space, and if you’re willing to pay extra, they can be heated too. The front seats are available with both heating and cooling, along with a heated steering wheel." The Globe And Mail
"Cargo space is good. There's a generous 26.6 cubic feet back there, which allowed us to secure five suitcases with room to spare. That's better than other inbetweener crossovers and even some of the larger models as well. Its maximum cargo capacity of 62.8 cubic feet is generous as well and speaks to its boxier dimensions that should make hauling bulkier items easier." Autoblog
"The Seltos has a nimble, European feel to the way it handles a corner. The entire structure is rock solid, and there’s an enjoyable level of resistance in the steering wheel we quite liked. We feel like Kia engineers cared enough to make the Seltos fun to drive, a quality that’s becoming increasingly rare in this category of vehicles." Wheels.ca
