2025 Kia Seltos S 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.

New badges and price point make it better value than it already was – but some elements of this coupe SUV still frustrate the keener driver.
