I test drove a Seltos not long after it came out. I was really impressed by the practicality of the overall design. The engine/transmission made a lot of noise, but it did perform very well. There is certainly a high amount of plastic in the interior, but it's well done. Overall, it's a nice vehicle for it's class.

The only Seltos worth getting is the turbo model with the DCT. It has proven reliable. The IVT in the Soul and Seltos are having non-stop problems, with some already on their third transmission, to the point that its taking months to replace as Kia didn't anticipate so many failing at once causing a parts backlog.

This is such an important difference between these two vehicles, we bought a Kia Tuscon a few years ago because the warranty vs a VW Tiguan was much better.

We have the seltos turbo, it has had quite a few problems. Trans overheated twice, check engine light keeps going on, dealer resets it, but still goes on. Trans is always jerky especially when starting out, it tends to want to rocket forward even when feathering the gas. weather on info screen always shows rain . Handeling is good but the ride is rough. Lane departure is aggressive and is alarming when it kicks in. Going for a Trailblazer RS.

Probably not the right video for this comment, but do you guys have any input on the engine fires in KIA/Hyundai vehicles in the last few years? They've had to recall hundreds of thousands of them (a few thousand engine fires in America), even some that weren't initially on the recall list ended up having fires. I don't see Canadian regulators doing anything about it, but the American regulators have gotten the manufacturer to issue the recalls.

Only vehicle here with selectable AWD (for better fuel mileage), Heated steering wheel is rumored for 2022. Seltos doesn't have styling panache IMO. Out the door prices on Chevrolets are frequently lower than the competition - okay, blame their marketing department! Trailblazer

Chevy blazer for me. I find the 1,000lb towing capabilitie sold me. I live in the city and will be towing around a zero fx dirt bike. Seltos can't. Handle it. Also I just love GM rugged tactical styling. Seltos looks ok in my opinion, but it looks like an SUV more than a cross over. If you can understand what I'm saying. I prefer the design of the interior of KIA,but it's not deal breaker for me. Both the vehicles are for people who are on budget and probably can't afford the more crossover or subcompact suvs. So with that said you get what you pay for and a little bit of fun. All I can say is chose what's best for you. If you find it hard to choose, then I suggest saving your money for something you like.

It’s funny how the Seltos lists towing capacity in overseas countries but here in the U.S. there is no towing rating and it’s recommended that you don’t tow. Same Seltos, different countries. The Trailblazer allows up to 1,000 lbs. for a towing limit. I was sort of looking at the Seltos as a possibility but the non- towing recommendation ruins it for me.

Sounds like you've got a really special vehicle. I worked at GM for 36 years. I don't think general motors poured money into research and development to build one trailblazer with flex fuel capability, makes no sense. Your 2004 Chevy trailblazer extended LS 5.3 does not have active fuel management. Unless it's had an engine swap. Flex fuel cars, 100 % of the time get less mpg. General motors didn't introduce that crappie active fuel management until 2007.

Skip the Chevy. Very concerned a 3 cylinder (unproven) engine is undersized. There's a reason past cars w/ a 3 banger have been unreliable.
