Read moreThe 2022 Kia Seltos is a small SUV while the 2022 Kia Forte is a redesigned compact sedan. At first glance it may appear odd to be comparing the two, but the fact of the matter is that the 2022 Kia Seltos has been very popular among first-time SUV buyers.
In other words, many Kia Seltos buyers are actually former Kia Forte owners. If you are in that situation, and you have been wondering if you should opt for a 2022 Kia Seltos or the redesigned 2022 Kia Forte, the table below should help you better understand what each model has to offer.
The 2022 Kia Seltos is obviously more spacious when it comes to cargo capacity, and it offers all-wheel drive which can't be found on the Kia Forte. However, the Forte offers a bit more space in certain areas than the Seltos, and it is more affordable. It is also quite spacious for a compact sedan with over 400 litres of cargo space.
In terms of performance, both vehicles share the same base engine, while the Seltos is offered with a more powerful turbocharged option. In terms of fuel economy, the Forte is more efficient on the highway, although the Seltos with FWD is more efficient in the city.
Ultimately, there are no wrong answers here, it just depends on what your exact needs are. Our team will be happy to help you decide if you should buy a 2022 Kia Seltos or a 2022 Kia Forte. Give us a call today to learn more.
