Still though, those who stand still get left behind, especially in the popular subcompact-SUV segment. Kia knew it couldn’t just sit on its laurels. And so the 2024 Seltos that debuted yesterday for North America at the Los Angeles Auto Show is new and improved.The visual changes are mild, generally, and include a bigger front grille that, on the upper SX trims, features light strips, as well as a new bumper design. While the profile itself is the same as before, the wheel design is new as well.
Also back is the available turbo engine, but with more horses squeezed out of it – 195 instead of 175 previously. Which isn’t nothing. Also not nothing is the new 8-speed auto transmission that replaces the old dual-clutch unit; Kia promises a smoother passenger experience as a result of the switch.
