Compare Kia Seltos vs the Competition

 

How the New Kia Seltos in Thornton Outshines Other SUVs on the Market

As you've probably noticed, SUVs are becoming more popular among drivers, causing automakers to put more attention on their SUV lineups. While there are many appealing subcompact SUVs to choose from, the new Kia Seltos stands out as a top choice for drivers all around Denver. From its fun driving dynamics to its spacious and tech-filled interior, there's a lot to like about this new Kia SUV.

Here at Grand Kia, we recognize that you may want to consider your options before making your final decision on your next SUV. So, to help you narrow down your choices and highlight why you should choose this new Kia SUV, we have compiled this comparison between the new Kia Seltos and two other rival models, the Hyundai Kona and Mazda CX-30.


Kia Seltos vs. Hyundai Kona

  • Both models offer two energetic powertrain options, but the new Kia Seltos is more efficient. This Kia SUV gets an EPA-estimated 29 mpg in town and 34 mpg on the highway. The Hyundai Kona is less efficient, getting an EPA-estimated 27 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway.

  • Another perk of choosing the new Kia Seltos is that its base model, the Seltos LX, comes standard with all-wheel drive, giving you more traction on wet, slippery roads near Arvada. The Kona does not come standard with this drivetrain; instead, it's a costly upgrade.

  • The new Kia Seltos provides you with an impressive amount of cargo room, with a max cargo area of 62.89 cubic feet. The new Hyundai Kona falls short by providing just 45.8 cubic feet of total storage area.

  • Inside the new Kia Seltos, you'll find an intuitive 8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with top features like Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Hyundai Kona comes with similar features but has a smaller, 7-inch touchscreen instead.

Kia Seltos vs. Mazda CX-30

  • While the new Mazda CX-30 has a slightly more powerful base engine, it does not come standard with all-wheel drive like the new Kia Seltos. To get this drivetrain on the Mazda CX-30, you'll have to pay an additional charge for the upgrade.

  • Another area the new Kia Seltos wins is fuel economy. With an EPA-estimated 25 mpg in the city and 33 mpg on the highway, the Mazda CX-30 cannot keep up with the Kia Seltos and its outstanding EPA-estimated 29 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway.

  • Not only does the new Kia Seltos provide more interior passenger space than the Mazda CX-30, but it also comes standard with reclining back seats, something not found in the Mazda SUV. This standard feature will ensure your passengers stay comfortable while traveling around Westminster.

  • If you have the new Kia Seltos loaded with all your friends and family, you'll still have ample cargo space to haul any gear you want, as this Kia SUV provides 26.6 cubic feet of storage area behind the rear seats. The new Mazda CX-30 only offers 20.2 cubic feet behind its rear seats.
