Kia Seltos MPG

When you’re looking for a compact SUV that’s not only sporty and well-designed but also efficient, there aren’t a lot of models out there that fit the bill. We have the Kia car that does. It’s the 2021 Kia Seltos––the latest model to roll off the production line and onto the lot at Jim Sipala’s Kia of West Chester near West Chester, Philadelphia, and Ardmore. Let’s take a closer look at this car by investigating the Kia Seltos MPG. That way, you’ll know exactly what to expect from this Kia SUV in the fuel economy department.

Fuel Efficiency of a Kia Seltos

To understand the Seltos MPG ratings, it’s best to take a look at what lies under the hood of this sporty and fun-to-drive Kia SUV. In the entry-level LX trim, a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine is the standard offering. With this engine, you won’t only get dynamic performance, you’ll have the benefit of the all-wheel drive capability Kia has to offer. At the end of the day, it adds up to an EPA-estimated 27 city/31 highway MPG.¹ Now that’s the kind of fuel-efficient performance you could get used to. The S trim gives you the same engine, plus the option of either front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). While the AWD MPG is the same as the number above, the FWD edition of the Seltos is even more fuel-efficient––to the tune of an EPA-estimated 29 city/34 highway MPG.¹ Now that’s how you avoid the gas station on your next family vacation. On the S Turbo and SX Turbo trims, you’ll have a 1.6L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine powering your drives. Turbocharged driving means a different Seltos MPG rating, which is an EPA-estimated 25 city/30 highway MPG.¹ Across the board, the Seltos finds the right balance between performance and fuel economy.

The Kia Seltos Driving Experience

When you sit behind the wheel of the 2021 Kia Seltos, you won’t have to visit the pump to fill up very often, as you’ve had the chance to see. What, exactly, do you have to look forward to when you press down on the accelerator, though? The base Seltos engine, as mentioned above, is a 2.0L 4-cylinder. It delivers 147 horsepower. Upgrade to one of the turbo Seltos trims, and the engine is the 1.6L turbocharged powerplant. With this engine, you’ll enjoy up to 175 horsepower––with that extra kick coming in handy during highway drives. Want to choose your driving style while you’re at it? No two drives are the same, and you’re completely in control of how you want to adjust engine performance. In Normal mode, you get a balance of fuel efficiency and performance. Put the Kia Seltos into Eco mode, and enjoy the best possible MPG numbers. Sport mode? That’s self-explanatory. Press down on the accelerator and feel the Seltos come to life!
