Does the Kia Seltos X-Lines sporty style match up to its performance?

Absolutely! The X-Line has plenty of punch thanks to its turbo engine and the stiffer suspension makes it handle way better than you'd expect from a small SUV.

It's all show and no go. The X Line looks great, but it drives like any other Seltos. I was expecting a more hot hatch feel.

Considering what it is, a compact SUV, the X Line does pretty well. It's not a sports car, but it's quick enough to be fun in a daily driver.

The DCT does jerky feel in city driving but it has decent performance. For something that looks this sporty it’s not as smooth as I’d like.

I believe it’s a good compromise. While not as practical as most SUVs in its class, it is also far sportier. Also, the looks alone make me feel as if I'm driving something special.
Is paying a premium for the regular Seltos worth it when you can get the X Line exclusive features?
03 January 2025 12:27
Definitely worth it! But the X-Line looks a lot more premium, and those extra features like the 360 degree camera and Heads up display are super useful.
Is paying a premium for the regular Seltos worth it when you can get the X Line exclusive features?

Not really. Mostly cosmetic upgrades and you’re paying a lot extra for it. The regular Seltos is just as good and cheaper.

It depends on what you value. The X Line is for you if you want to stand out and you don’t mind paying for uniqueness. If you are more practical, go with the regular models.
Is paying a premium for the regular Seltos worth it when you can get the X Line exclusive features?

I would say that alone it is worth it for the top tier engine option. It’s just a bonus extra style.

The cool features of the X-Line are there, but I'd prefer that those be available as individual options versus as a whole package. I want to be able to pick and choose what I want.
Does the Seltos X-Line’s interior quality hold up to more premium brands?
03 January 2025 12:27
The interior of the X-Line impressed me. Materials feel high quality and design is modern. It’s not quite Audi level, but for the price you can’t really complain.
Does the Seltos X-Line’s interior quality hold up to more premium brands?
03 January 2025 12:27
For a Kia, it’s good, but it’s not up to par with a true luxury brand. Some areas feel cheap, in terms of plastics, and the overall fit and finish doesn't quite make it, either.
Does the Seltos X-Line’s interior quality hold up to more premium brands?
03 January 2025 12:27
I think it hits a sweet spot. It’s 90% of the premium feel at 70% of the cost of a luxury brand. That's more than enough for most people.

03 January 2025 12:27
In fact the tech in the X Line is better than some luxury cars I've been in. It’s really upscale feeling with all the big screens and features.

It's all smoke and mirrors. It’s fine at a glance, but you can see where they cut corners if you spend any time in it. You get what you pay for.

03 January 2025 12:27
It's honestly a little bit of a letdown. In traffic it's jerky, and sometimes it hesitates when you need power. I just wish they'd stayed with a regular auto.

It's a mixed bag. Great for the highway and spirited driving, but it can be a pain in the city. It requires you to drive a little different.
In real world driving, does the Seltos X-Line’s DCT transmission live up to the hype?
03 January 2025 12:27
I think it’s a bit overkill for a car like this. Most drivers don’t see much real world benefit for the complexity and potential reliability issues added by the DCT.

It was a bit of an adjustment, but I really like the DCT now. In sport mode, it’s more engaging to drive than a regular automatic.
