150,000 km in 2 years — SW BlueHDi 1.5L 30cv. Comfortable, excellent gearbox. Maybe a bit noisy on the motorway, with air noise around the front doors. A slightly punchier engine would be welcome. The entire timing system was replaced under warranty at 110,000 km.

Kia Seltos

The Kia Seltos is a stylish and practical compact SUV that balances urban-friendly dimensions with a confident road presence. Inside it feels thoughtfully laid out with comfortable seating and a composed ride that suits daily driving and light adventure.
