Review of Rookie Kia Seltos 2020 Price From 589 Million Just Launched In Vietnam

The Kia Seltos car is priced for the standard version with the cheapest price of 589 million. And this will be the most expensive, full version, 1.4 turbo engine priced at 719 million. 

At the front of the car, it reminds us of European models and some American models, quite sturdy. The bonnet is not too small and does not fall down too much, it still gives us the feeling of a very muscular and powerful SUV. If several cars are in the same segment, the front of the car is small and down, making the overall car small, but for this car, it is easy to mistake it for a big car because of its details. 

The face of the car has chrome-plated borders, looking very bright. This steering wheel has a very strange design language, 3D design and undulating shapes like waves. Another highlight is the full LED light cluster, dividing the umbrella like a car from Germany but the price is quite reasonable. 

Some small details such as the fog lights below that often some companies do not pay attention to the design, but with Korean cars in general and Kia in particular, they always flatter customers even the fog lights they leave behind. All three lenses here, very well-tuned. This lens is placed in a block that contrasts with the paint color. 

Talking more about this engine block, the car is equipped with a turbocharged 1.4 engine, 138 horsepower, compared to a weight of nearly 1,3 tons, this power is quite redundant because many 7-seater cars even heavier is around 100+ horsepower. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.

Still like the overall language of this car, all the lines are very square. The road on the roof, between the body and the bottom reminds us of British cars, especially the A-pillar looks quite similar to Range Rover. The tail they have stroked very cleverly is slightly gentle and lengthens the black cluster combined with the chrome border to make the car feel longer. This is a size B car but at a glance it looks like a Sorento. 

The car is equipped with 17-inch, 5-spoke wheels with the tail of the spokes in the shape of spider legs, many beautiful follicles, continental tires. The rear wheel is also equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, which are quite beautiful, many cars are only equipped with multi-spoke brakes, the axle head cover is also painted in sporty and strong red. 

The black rearview mirror along with the different colored roof make the car look sportier and more youthful. There are led turn signals but no 360 camera here, only reverse cam is also quite reasonable for this small car. Some small details such as chrome plating on the door handles, smart keys are also highlights. The ground clearance of this car is 190mm, which means it is a bit lower than a normal SUV but very reasonable.

The rear of the car is also quite square from the veins of the light cluster to the embossed lines in the entire rear trunk area. The light cluster is also full of LEDs. This car is size B, so it is very clever to hide the exhaust pipe instead of a beautiful fake exhaust cluster. The trunk is only mechanically opened, below this is the area to store the spare tire, the trunk is quite big and wide. 

Stepping into the interior compartment, you will see a youthfulness exuded and a lot of equipment. The screen is very big and long compared to the screens of Asian cars, it is similar to the style of European cars today like Beam, Merc, Porsche all use this aspect ratio, the screen is very responsive and connected to Apple Carplay – this is a pretty cool feature.

This instrument cluster is very bright and large: 2 circles on either side are the rpm and speedometer, displayed in the middle is the screen. The steering wheel is designed according to the sports car standard with dcut and the leather cover is very pleasant to the touch, the phi of this circle is quite large, firmly held in the hand. 

There is no shortage of equipment on the steering wheel: voice command control, phone answering, cruise control, a lot of features. The automatic single-zone automatic air conditioning system is neatly designed right under the vent, looking very consistent with the overall design. The bottom has a USB charging port combined with a 12V charging port, on this high-end version there is a cooling for the seat.

For the first time in this segment, there is a seat cooling function. The seats are equipped with 2-color leather seats, red embroidery thread, a sporty and stylish style. Many people say that if this handbrake were an electronic handbrake, it would be more perfect. The glass on the driver's side is a touch to down, the remaining glasses must be kept, which is an insignificant detail. This car is also equipped with a sunroof. The ceiling is covered with light colors, making the occupants feel spacious and airy. The driver's seat is an electric seat, the rest of the seats are mechanical. A small detail is that the design of the speaker screen on this car resembles the steering wheel, grille, designed with 3D ripples, very beautiful. 

Although this car has a small size, it still has a very spacious space in the rear seats, with armrests, air-conditioning vents. The rear seat can also recline. In terms of size, the width of the rear compartment is probably on par with the Tucson, sitting very comfortably.

This car is equipped with dependent suspension, when going sideways, the occupants are not too precarious. Of course, since this is a new car, we need a longer experience. Sitting in the cockpit, in the evening you will see neon lights, this car has 6 themes and 8 colors for neon light - this is only seen in luxury and high-class cars.
