Don't Buy a Kia Sportage Until You've Watched THIS!

Don't buy a Kia Sportage until you've watched THIS! In our NEW Kia Seltos review, we travel to South Korea to get behind the wheel of the £30k hybrid SUV you've probably never heard of.

Despite being Kia's second best-selling car wordline, the Seltos is only just arriving in the UK. Slotting in between the Niro and the Sportage, it boasts a massive 536-litre boot and EV-inspired tech – but is it actually better than a Sportage, Nissan Qashqai and Skoda Karoq?

In this review, we explore the brand-new second-generation 2026 Seltos, including the rugged new X-Line trim. We test the dual 12.3-inch screens and the ultra-comfortable "relaxation seats" inherited from Kia's premium EVs. We also put the rear passenger space to the test and explain why the Seltos's boot is much better than a Nissan Qashqai's.

Finally, we hit the road to test the 1.6-litre hybrid powertrain and reveal the expected £30,000 to £42,000 UK pricing!
