CX-30 would be my top pick: Class-leading cabin, reliable, attractive design, AWD, the right amount of features, decent dealerships, and a nice driving experience. Even the base engine has class-leading power. Every other option, other than the Crosstrek, comes with caveats IMO: Dealing with Hyundai/Kia dealers, underpowered, no available AWD, poor availability, a cheap cabin, or some combination of those caveats.

Love our 2024 SX Seltos. KIA changed the transmission in the 2024 refreshed model and it is so smooth and fun to drive. We looked at both the seltos and crosstrek, and ultimately landed on the Seltos based on vehicle size (larger cabin/cargo area), interior features, and price. Almost 15k miles and several road trips with no issues! No regrets at this point, and it is by far one of my favorite cars that I've owned.

Hi guys. Been watching your content for a while now, and I have to give you a compliment. I’ve been watching car evaluation channels for about 10 years now, and throughout most of that, Alex On Autos was the best out there, mainly because of his practical, clear, “everyman” focus and easy-to-understand ratings. He’s still great, but with the addition of other reviewers and, I think, a reduction in volume/coverage, his channels have declined a little. Meanwhile, you two started out great and have just gotten better. With the addition of your reliability/resale analysis and these fantastic breakdowns of whole segments, you are clearly the new champions! Just one comment/suggestion: the decibel ratings, while “objective” cannot be consistent with wind, road surface, etc. and there is also a difference in human perception where certain frequencies/patterns can be much more annoying than others at even the same sound level. I suggest you keep the decibel reading (because I don’t know what would work better as an objective measure), but ADD your own comments on your perceptions…did this car seem quieter/more serene or less, than a couple of the cars with the nearest decibel ratings. Much continued success to you! ❤️✌🏻✌🏻❤️

Overall imo, the CX-30 would be my personal choice through and through. It dont really inconvenience you with quality or features and it just has a more premium look than the rest of the competition. Yes the Kona may have some more features that the 30 doesn’t but mazda does really good at making a “cheap” feel expensive especially in driving dynamics and I like the interior layout on that than the Kona. The Kona looks cheap on the inside especially the one you guys had as a tester for the week. It could’ve been all the grey it had inside it though.
