2024 Kia Seltos SUV Trims Comparison
Trim level differences
The 2024 Kia Seltos is available in five trim levels: LX, S, EX, X-Line and SX. You'll generally get progressively more features on each one, plus a more powerful engine for the X-Line and SX. Keep reading for our breakdown of the significant standard and optional features you get with each trim.
Which Seltos trim does Edmunds recommend?
The Seltos X-Line trim offers a pleasing balance of pricing and features. For 2024, Kia has made all-wheel drive optional on the EX trim to the tune of $2,200. As a result, it's worth stepping up to the X-Line for its rugged styling, more powerful engine, and comfort features like heated seats. Other niceties include black roof rails and accents, a 10.25-inch display, and scores of standard safety features.
