Kia Seltos

EPA MPG: 28 mpg

CR's Take

A few years ago, the subcompact SUV market blossomed with a wide variety of tall hatchbacks sourced from around the globe. Models like the Chevrolet Trailblazer, Hyundai Kona, and Kia Seltos combined the frugal nature of small cars with the convenience of large doors, a tall roof, and a roomy cabin on a tiny, urban-friendly platform. Now, some of these baby SUVs are growing up, like the redesigned 2027 Kia Seltos.
