Kia Seltos
The Seltos was refreshed and improved last year, delighting shoppers after a practical, high-value pick in the subcompact SUV segment. This little Kia also owes its popularity to a spacious interior and trunk, not to mention plenty of content. The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine included as standard produces 146 horsepower, with a choice of front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. SX and X-Line models (AWD only) feature a turbocharged 1.6-litre engine delivering 195 horsepower.
