The Seltos slots in just under Kia's Sportage, but it's not that much smaller; in fact, I found it to be one of the roomier compact SUVs in SA. Now that it's been upgraded, it's better to drive, and who doesn't love that gigantic new screen design?
But let's get to the point:
How much is the cheapest Seltos in the lineup and what does it offer potential owners?
The most affordable model is the Kia Seltos 1.5 LX manual model at R467 995. Kia says it replaces the outgoing Seltos EX as the starting point for the Seltos range and offers high specifications at an attractive price point.

What will you pay for this Seltos every month?
It depends on a variety of factors - are you trading in, putting down a deposit, or both?
If you're buying with 0 deposit and have nothing to trade in, over a 72-month period you'll be paying R 9 581 per month (with a 13.75% interest rate) which is quite steep. Blame it on high interest rates and import tax!
