Kia Seltos X-Line AWD: Wer braucht da noch einen Sportage? - Autophorie

Driving report with the new, second-generation Kia Seltos. The new compact SUV slots in between the XCeed and the Sportage. The new model comes dangerously close to the Sportage in terms of market share, perhaps even making it redundant. In this test, we also compare the driving dynamics and the differences between all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive. We also highlight the visual differences between the Spirit, GT-Line, and X-Line trim levels. And finally, we compare the new Kia Seltos with the established Kia Sportage. Enjoy the video.
