The Seltos is a little bit smaller than the Sportage, but spacious inside. It also has clever styling.

Inside the GT-Line you get everything you want. It comes with little luxuries like heated and cooled front seats, heated steering wheel, ambient lighting, and wireless charging tray for smartphones.

The front seats are particularly comfortable. Rear seat can be a little tight for taller passengers, but boot room is spacious.

For the driver there is a large driver instrument panel and integrated central touch screen. It’s all rather splendid.

The GT-Line comes with a 1.6L turbo petrol engine that combines good fuel economy with enough performance. It also comes with an eight-speed automatic transmission and all wheel drive capability.

Being the top model, the Seltos GT-Line comes with the full package of safety features from Kia.

Overall, the Kia Seltos GT-Line is quite impressive and manages to get the balance right between size, performance, and practicality for an urban runabout.

Priced from around $45,000 plus the usual costs its also good value.

Kia Seltos GT-Line final thoughts

When the Seltos first was released, it set the pace in the segment. It is now a few years older and in some ways it shows.

However, the GT-Line is still a practical, fun, and safe urban style SUV.

Its size sits somewhere between segments. Spacious inside and compact outside its not wonder it’s so popular.

I really liked the Kia Seltos GT-Line.
