Differences in performance between versions of Kia Seltos 2024
Although it is only a mid-life upgrade, the 2024 Kia Seltos has quite a big change in the engine, removing the 1.4L and 1.6L naturally aspirated turbocharged option.
According to the manufacturer’s announcement, the Smartstream 1.5L engine block on 3 versions is usually combined with a CVT gearbox and front-wheel drive system, generating 113 horsepower and 144Nm.
The dealer said that with the old Kia Seltos, users often look to buy the 1.4L turbocharged version, the 1.6L naturally aspirated version does not receive much attention (Photo: THACO).
In the most advanced GT-Line version, the 1.5L turbocharged engine is still combined with a front-wheel drive system but comes with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
Differences in safety equipment between versions of Kia Seltos 2024
In the safety category, the versions of Seltos 2024 have clear differences.
Some advanced safety features on the 1.5L Premium version still serve the user’s urban travel needs well.
Which will be the most worth buying version of Kia Seltos 2024?
Looking at the equipment and price, it can be seen that most users will still choose the standard version of Seltos 2024. This variant has the lowest price in the segment, equipped with enough comfort and safety.
Slightly more advanced, the 1.5L Premium version will be a worthy choice for customers who care a lot about the enjoyment of comfortable equipment and have some additional safety features in the ADAS package.
The GT-Line version of Seltos 2024 has not yet had its price announced, so it is difficult to evaluate.
