Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 Kia Seltos S. Carivo rates it 7.7/10 — middle of the pack. It does enough right to be a reasonable choice, but the scores don’t make a compelling case for picking it over class leaders.
Performance is its standout at 8.6/10. Powertrain response and driving dynamics give it a genuine edge over blander suvs in this segment — noticeable from the first drive. Technology at 6.7/10 is a real gap — segment leaders outperform it here by a noticeable margin.
In the mid-range suv market ($26,364–$34,859, 28 MPG, 5 passengers), it gives buyers what they need without forcing trade-offs. At 4 years old, this model predates meaningful updates to the Kia Seltos S lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
