Carivo independent review & score
The 2022 Kia Seltos SL. Carivo rates it 7.6/10 — 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 8.4/10. Powertrain response and driving dynamics give it a genuine edge over blander suvs in this segment — noticeable from the first drive. Technology (7/10) lags behind class leaders — not a dealbreaker, but a clear weak link.
In the mid-range suv market ($29,803–$39,406, 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 SL lineup. Check how the current generation scores differently before committing to the older version.
