Review by topic

Safety and driver assistance

6 airbags
  • Standard cruise control on both variants is a genuine advantage for long expressway drives on TPLEX and SCTEX, helping maintain consistent speed and reduce driver fatigue.
  • Standard cruise control on all variants and a generous 433L trunk make it practical for families, while the 190mm ground clearance and 6 airbags deliver confidence on Philippine roads.

Gearbox

IVT (CVT)
  • The 2.0L Smartstream engine produces 149 hp and 180 Nm of torque through Kia's IVT (Intelligent Variable Transmission), providing adequate performance for both city commuting and expressway cruising.

Fuel economy

16 km/L
  • At sustained highway speeds, the Seltos achieves 14-16 km/L, which is average for its class but the trade-off for its larger, more refined 2.0L engine over competitors' smaller 1.5L units.

Space and practicality

433 L cargo
  • The 190mm ground clearance handles uneven toll plaza transitions without concern, and the 433L trunk accommodates a family's weekend luggage comfortably.

Comfort and refinement

  • NVH insulation is above average, with the cabin remaining composed at 100 km/h, though tire noise on concrete expressway surfaces is more noticeable than on the Tucson.
  • The 2025 Kia Seltos is a feature-packed compact SUV that distinguishes itself in the Philippine market with its bold Tiger Nose design, premium cabin appointments, and a larger 2.0L Atkinson-cycle engine than most direct competitors.
  • The Seltos shares its platform with the Hyundai Creta but positions itself as the more feature-rich, premium-feeling option for buyers who prioritize cabin experience and lifestyle features over outright driving dynamics.

Engine and performance

149 hp
  • The 2.0L Smartstream engine provides adequate highway power at 149 hp and 180 Nm, maintaining 80-100 km/h cruise on NLEX and SLEX without strain, and the IVT keeps engine RPMs low and refined during sustained cruising.

What works

  • Standard cruise control on ALL variants, available from the ₱1,098,000 EX
  • 433L trunk capacity, spacious and among the largest in the compact SUV segment
  • 190mm ground clearance handles rough toll plaza approaches and expressway transitions
  • Bose 8-speaker premium sound system on SX variant transforms the highway driving experience
  • 6 airbags standard across both variants for comprehensive passive safety
  • 8-inch head-up display on SX keeps speed and navigation info in the driver's line of sight
  • 2.0L engine is larger and smoother than competitors' 1.5L units for more refined cruising

What to weigh

  • 2.0L naturally aspirated engine lacks the turbo punch of the Coolray (175 hp) and HR-V (175 hp)
  • Kia dealer network with approximately 25 locations, fewer service options than Toyota and Honda
  • IVT transmission feels rubber-bandy under hard acceleration during expressway overtaking maneuvers
  • Resale value trails Toyota and Honda by approximately 8-12% after 3 years
  • No diesel or hybrid option for those wanting better highway torque or improved fuel range
