The next generation of the Kia Seltos is almost here—and it’s already making a bold statement. As one of Kia’s most popular models, the Seltos has always delivered a strong mix of style, capability, and value. Now, it’s taking things even further with a larger footprint, upgraded technology, and an exciting new hybrid option. A Bigger Presence on the Road Right away, you’ll notice the...
When Kerri Dowling first started researching the Kia Seltos, she was looking for a vehicle that felt practical and stylish while giving her more space than her previous car. But the moment she saw the Seltos in Pluton Blue, she knew she had found the one. The bold, cheerful colour completely sold her on the spot — so much so that she bought it without ever taking a test drive or seeing it in person. When she finally saw it up close on delivery day, it was love at first sight, and she still feels the same way every time she sees it parked in her driveway.
Perfect Size for Everyday Life
Kerri was ready for something bigger than her Kia Rio, especially for winter driving. The Seltos gave her more space, better stability, and extra cargo room — perfect for everyday errands, groceries, and even road trips. Olive, her Golden Retriever, now has plenty of space to stretch out on drives, which makes life easier for everyone.
Comfort for Long Drives
The interior of the Seltos has made a huge difference in Kerri’s daily driving and on longer trips. She loves the leather seats and how adjustable they are, which keeps everyone comfortable on road trips. Ventilated seats are one of her favorite features, and she says they’re a lifesaver on hot days.
Technology That Makes Driving Easier
Remote start has completely changed Kerri’s winter routine — no more running outside to start the car in the cold. She also uses Apple CarPlay every day to keep music, calls, and navigation right on the screen, making every drive smoother and more fun.
A Dog-Friendly Ride
Olive’s comfort is a priority for Kerri, and the Seltos makes that easy. Leather seats are simple to clean, and a backseat cover keeps everything tidy. Olive loves the space to move around and switching windows to stick her head out on both sides during drives.
Confidence Behind the Wheel
Driving the Seltos feels like a major upgrade from Kerri’s previous vehicle. She finds it smooth, stable, and easy to handle — even on winter roads. Features like adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist help her relax on highway trips and give her extra peace of mind.
Adventures Made Easy
The Seltos has become part of Kerri’s favourite memories, like taking Olive to the beach for the first time. The extra cargo room means she can easily pack Olive’s bed, toys, and snacks, and the smooth ride keeps Olive calm even on longer drives.
Practical and Fun
Even everyday errands feel easier thanks to the Seltos. The higher seating position makes loading groceries or gear simple, and Kerri loves how versatile the vehicle feels — perfect for quick trips around town or weekend getaways.
Why She Recommends It
Kerri says the Seltos is ideal for anyone upgrading from a smaller car. It offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and style, while still being easy to drive and fuel efficient. For pet owners, frequent travelers, or anyone who loves a vehicle with personality, she says the Seltos is worth a serious look.
