There's a lot of competition in the small-SUV space, but we reckon Kia's Seltos is a strong offering. What do you think? FULL STORY: www.whichcar.com.au/reviews/2023-kia-seltos-review-first-australian-drive
I thought this was an excellent review. The guy doing the review seemed to have a nice balanced approach and seem to evaluate the car in a sensible manner.
Thought I was watching Chasing cars 😆

Yeah what's going on there
One of the best reviews. The comparison to the competition should be more often part of this type of reviews.
I like the data on screen brand comparison on pricing this is unique no other review ive seen offers this really helpful essentiall info great job.
nice looking car! great review
Thank you for this review! Waiting for some Canadian dealerships/KZreadrs to get their reviews out. This is great in the meantime. This is at the top of my list for my next vehicle, for sure!
The Boot comparison specs are a revelation. Please keep doing this!

Great review very informative and interesting ☺️
Nice review John .This car looks improved and much better .Full size spare ,better transmission,more power ,cooled and heated seats ,traditional gear stick ,physical buttons for aircon and radio .I don’t mind plastic on the dash because it wears better over the years with the heat and is more durable than leather .This surely must be a winner amongst small suvs.

@@cityplanner3063 that seems to be changing these days - we have had toyotas, but our latest cars have been two Kias - both have had no issues whatsover - and with 40km free servicing, which toyota don't offer.
Quite nice, but where is the 360 camera it comes with in some markets? The Mazda CX-30 has it on some models and it is a feature I want on my next car.
1st one to comment John. Great review.
Very informative ,thanks mate can you review Yaris hybrid urban 4WD 2023 please ,I just subscribed and liked
I thought the traditional Auto Gear change was changing to a Rotary one on all new Seltos.?
What will kia do about the speed beeping you cant turn off and crap no 360 camera ?? How do they stuff these up and wreck an overall greatly improved package?
No mention of the leg room at the back seat?
Perhaps someone will work out a way to disable the speed limiter buzzer, or do a ‘work around’
What do you get in the get line over the sport+ that warrants the extra 5k?
Do you get these safety features on base line Kia seltos 2023?
What happened with the drive by wire dial up shifter? why do you have the regular shift knob? does it mean few of the features aren't really available as per advertised?

@@BigG2G i mean my 2020 cerato looks far more quality looking than a corolla 2020 so im okay with that. haha. but seeing this is advertised before as dial up shifter and you ordered it for that. It would be weird when you get it only to get the normal shifter.
John!! I was wondering wtf was going on with your absence.
The fitting of a conventional auto transmissions is the best thing on the Seltos. I wouldn't touch one with DCT of CVT.

Cutest car reviewer in Australia 😛
Great review! We have ordered a 23 GTLine Turbo AWD, hopefully the wait isn’t as long as Toyotas vehicles

Available except on 2-tone paint models.
Is it a CVT auto transmission or just automatic transmission?
Too bad the standard versions are lumbered with Hyundai's crappy CVT. It also is subject to many complaints about reliability and early failures. If it had the 6 speed torque converter auto I would have been interested.
Why do all car reviews keep doing jazz-hands as they talk?

Free form dancing?
the engine needs more power, as an auto degrades more of the power that a DCT or a manual does...hence there would be very little difference in performance
What the!? John what happened to your Chasing Cars gig?? Man, reviewers are becoming like footy players... No team loyalty. 🤣

Hi not sure if this will help with the Speed limiter issues kzread.info/dash/bejne/mnuOzrRuadi8edo.html
LOL The reason it is turbo charged is because as a 1.6 it can't do the job it needs a turbo to boost the power to do the job. All the other BS re technology etc is just glitz. I just bought an ASX Mitsubishi not the even the most IT Technology latest but a proven engine a proven CVT box. LOL the seats haven't changed over 13 years, the interior is 13 years of proven reliability. I will take my proven 2 litre four without any turbo but proven reliability over all the latest competitors.
