Shoppers eyeing the Hyundai Kona and Honda HRV may want to wait a little longer before purchasing because you’ll want to check out the updated 2024 Kia Seltos near Rio Rancho, NM, which will be arriving sometime in the first half of this year. Lining up after the larger Kia Sportage and the smaller Kia Soul, the (slightly larger than) subcompact Seltos combines practicality with style, and its refreshed look keeps its appearance aligned with its siblings. It also brings a much bolder design than its rivals and more room.
Along with its updated design, the 2024 Seltos gets a new X-Line trim, a more potent turbocharged engine, and more technology, making it a better Seltos than ever!
Exterior Changes
The Seltos is a fairly new addition to the Kia lineup, having gone on sale in early 2020. It has become a popular model in the short time it’s been around. Still, to stay current in the highly competitive subcompact crossover SUV segment, it’s receiving a significant update for 2024.
Changes begin on the exterior, with revamped headlights and new LED daytime running lights, highlighted by redesigned vertical fog lights. The front skid plate has a new look, and so does the mesh grille, which appears more prominent than before, thanks to the placement of the silver trim piece at the bottom. It can also be equipped with a “Star Map,” which extends the front lighting configuration across the grille. A more rugged front bumper adorns the front, and new paint colors and wheel options are also available.
An updated rear end accompanies the new model, with sharp-looking r-shaped taillights connected by a horizontal light bar across the width of the liftgate, and the red reflectors have been moved into the plastic cladding of the bumper.
Inside the 2024 Kia Seltos near Rio Rancho, NM
Several thoughtful and innovative changes can be found inside, starting with the dash. Currently, the Seltos has analog instrumentation and a separate touchscreen, whereas the 2024 model comes with optional dual digital displays that flow seamlessly into one another. The 10.3-inch digital gauge cluster and 10.3-inch infotainment display make one panoramic panel. A rotary shift selector replaces the traditional shift lever, and the passenger side of the dashboard will feature ambient lighting. You’ll get four USB ports, two in each row, while an optional power liftgate and ventilated front seats round out the updates.
For a small crossover, the 2024 Kia Seltos near Rio Rancho, NM offers plenty of room for you and your passengers, with 26.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats and 62.8 when the second row is folded down.
In addition to the touchscreen improvements, the new Seltos also gets Digital Key 2 Touch, which allows owners to use their Samsung Galaxy, iPhone, or Apple Watch to unlock, lock, and drive the auto. You’ll get over-the-air updates to keep software and maps current, too. The Seltos has plenty of driver-assist tech, including blind-spot monitoring, auto emergency braking, lane-departure warning, and speed-limit sign recognition.
Under the Hood
The new model continues with the choice of two powertrains. The base engine is a 2-liter inline 4-cylinder with an output of 147 hp mated to a continuously variable transmission. The other available engine is a 1.6-liter turbocharged inline-four that delivers 195 horsepower. This one is matched to an 8-speed automatic transmission. You can also choose FWD or all-wheel drive for your new Seltos.
