Kia America has recently announced the pricing for the updated 2024 Seltos, which promises drivers with an array of new and improved features. The entry-level SUV is available for both on and off-road adventures and starts at an MSRP of $24,390, excluding the $1,325 destination fee.
Exterior Refinements
Kia has redesigned the 2024 Seltos, offering drivers a more comfortable and engaging driving experience. The exterior design has been refined, giving the car a more commanding presence on the road. The tiger nose grille has been enlarged, and the lighting has been updated with available projection LED headlamps and a unique rear lighting design.
Interior Upgrades
Inside the cabin, the centerpiece is an available panoramic display that seamlessly integrates the 10.25-inch instrument cluster and 10.25-inch center display. The available Digital Key 2 Touch allows users to use their compatible smart devices as a virtual key to lock, unlock, and drive, which is available on the SX Sunroof Package.
Powerful Engine
One of the most significant updates in the 2024 Seltos is the increased turbocharged power on certain trims. The car now comes with a more powerful 1.6-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that produces an extra 20 horsepower, bringing the total to 195 horsepower. Complementing the available turbocharged engine is an 8-speed automatic transmission, which replaces the outgoing 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Base models will continue to use the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with the Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT).

The 2024 Seltos comes with a range of advanced driver assistance features, including a rear camera display, rear occupant alert, forward collision avoidance assist with car, pedestrian, and cyclist detection, driver attention warning, lane keeping assist system, lane departure warning system, lane following assist, and high beam assist.
