It’s based on the Mazda3 hatchback, so it shares that car’s driver-focused feel and near-luxury interior quality. Introduced in 2020, the CX-30 is Mazda’s second entry in the subcompact CUV class.

EX Premium ($30,695) gets a full suite of safety and high-tech kit, and the sporty SX Turbo comes in at $32,695, boasting an upgraded stereo and a head-up display. Seltos LX pricing starts at $23,095 with front-wheel drive (FWD) and the CVT, and all-wheel drive (AWD) adds $2,000 to that base trim. While the Turbo is quick and has sharper handling, we think the base powertrain feels better sorted overall. In most trims, performance is modest from a 146-hp 2.0L four-cylinder engine if you want more power, choose the top SX Turbo trim, powered by a 175-hp 1.6L turbo motor that comes with a dual-clutch automatic. The handsome Seltos is Kia’s first subcompact crossover model, and it’s a good illustration of why this South Korean company is on a roll: it’s a good value it has useful space in a well-done cabin and it’s pleasant to drive, with accurate steering and an automatic continuously variable transmission ( CVT) so good you won’t notice it’s there.
