2025 Kia Seltos review
In base specification the Kia Seltos is practical and refreshingly uncomplicated, although it lacks the polish of newer rivals.

Seven colours are offered across the line-up, including a new Pluton Blue finish. The outgoing models’ Starlight Yellow has been dropped, while Clear White and Pluton Blue are available with a contrast Fusion Black roof exclusively on the Seltos GT-Line.
The other single colours include Neptune blue, Mars orange, Steel grey, Gravity grey, Cherry black and Snow White pearl.

The MX-30 Electric is a well-appointed and relatively refined EV with mostly conventional presentation, but the range and value don't really stack up.
