We are honored to carry the Kia marque because it means introducing our neighbors and drivers throughout the region to an extraordinary lineup renowned for its ingenuity, performance, and value. The Seltos embodies those characteristics—so where does that leave us and our promise to exceed your expectations?
Shopping for a subcompact SUV like the Seltos should be rewarding and exciting. However, those words rarely describe the traditional car-buying experience. Instead, drivers often face high-pressure tactics and gimmicks that put them on the defensive. Even then, sticker shock and buyer's remorse threaten any shred of excitement.
We take great pride in offering our customers something unique and extraordinary. We've rewritten the traditional dealership experience, cultivating a laid-back environment defined by open communication, shared excitement, and mutual respect. By personalizing our approach and listening attentively, we immediately put you at ease and set the stage for a transparent and worthwhile experience that ends with you in the driver's seat of the perfect Seltos.
Kia set out to appeal to younger drivers by building a sporty crossover with a spirited, engaging driving demeanor. The Korean automaker introduced the Seltos as a concept car at the 2018 Auto Expo in New Delhi, where positive feedback earned the model a place in the Kia lineup. By 2019, Kia introduced the subcompact crossover as the Seltos, a name taken from Celtos, Hercules's brave and assertive son in Greek mythology.
The Seltos finally made its way to Kia's American lineup in 2021, instantly garnering acclaim for its diverse trim lineup, value-rich packaging, and engaging performance. Those characteristics are at the heart of every Seltos, with each trim offering a distinct persona and appeal via trim-specific design details, technologies, and conveniences. This diverse trim family puts the perfect Seltos within reach, whether a budget-friendly base trim like the LX or a sportier road warrior like the X-Line.
Kia adds to the Seltos' appeal by ensuring its heartbeat expertly balances its output with efficiency. The combination is prominent across the Seltos' powertrain lineup, with the 2021 Seltos debuting with a 2.0L inline-four or a 1.6L turbocharged inline-four under its hood. Kia typically pairs the base engine with a continuously variable transmission that delivers smooth gear shifts as the engine makes north of 140 horsepower and 130 lb-ft of torque.
The Seltos' turbocharged heartbeat offers more excitement in the driver's seat, with Kia making several adjustments to the powertrain since 2021. Older year models are paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, producing over 170 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. Newer models add an eight-speed transmission and push the output to nearly 200 horsepower, making the powertrain a crucial detail when shopping for a new or used model.

What's the most stressful part of buying a car? Most customers agree that navigating financing is far from enjoyable. The process often involves negotiating a fair price on your trade and deciphering a long list of hidden fees. It's confusing and overwhelming—but it doesn't have to be.
We want to help you celebrate and have confidence in your purchase from the moment you say "yes" on our lot to the minute you finalize the sale and we toss you the keys. To do that, we personalize our approach by listening attentively and walking you through your loan and lease options. We value your uniqueness, knowing a one-size-fits-all approach to financing isn't ideal for anyone.
This bespoke experience starts by learning more about your budget and how your Seltos fits your financial situation. From there, we'll review your lease and loan options, explaining lease terms to accommodate your mileage needs or working with various lenders to secure a competitive interest rate on your loan. We take great care in outlining every detail, from how we value your trade and its impact on your purchase to the terms of your lease and the estimated monthly payments on your loan.
Our transparency ensures there's never a doubt about what you're paying or getting. Instead, you can bid farewell to buyer's remorse and sticker shock. The result is a streamlined experience where you can genuinely get excited about your future in the driver's seat.
Most dealerships have short-term goals, focusing primarily on sales and motivating their team with commissions and quotas. While this strategy works, it ignores the bigger picture and your responsibilities behind the wheel. We take a long-term approach by offering our customers a lifetime partnership.
