SP2 MY21 Sport+ Wagon 5dr CVT 1sp 2WD 2.0i Kia comes out swinging in the small SUV segment with its spacious, luggage-friendly and well kitted-out Seltos. The company's first small SUV, the Seltos is a smidgin larger than the bulk of its rivals including Mitsubishi's ASX, Honda's HR-V and Toyota's C-HR. Available in front-drive and AWD form (depending on variant) with either of two powerplants " a 130kW/265Nm 1.6-litre turbo and a 110kW/180Nm 2.0-litre " the five-star ANCAP Seltos comes with standard autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian avoidance and lane-keep assist. Only the base S model misses sat-nav, while Apple CarPlay/Android Auto is universal. Seven years of warranty, capped-price serving and roadside assist are big plusses.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
