2024 Kia Seltos price and specs

The Kia Seltos enters 2024 unchanged apart from minor price increases.

All models see an increase of $280 in the list price, or $300 in the drive-away price, with Kia citing “economic reasons” as the reason for the adjustments.

This is a considerably smaller increase than the one applied last year when the Seltos received a mid-life update, when drive-away pricing climbed by up to $2900.
