Question 2

7-speed DCT on 1.6T AWD; IVT (CVT) on 2.0; Infotainment glitches; Tyres on 18s and alignment. Check the year guide for detail and inspect these on any car you are considering.

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2024 Kia Seltos in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Test the automatic cold from startup — any shudder, hesitation or warning lights on first takeoff should be investigated further. Inspect lower sills, wheel arches and underbody for rust - especially on coastal or South Island cars. Check all electronics work - climate control, infotainment, reverse camera, and any safety tech fitted. Compare with current new Seltos drive-away before stretching into the $30ks. Same 2.0 vs 1.6T AWD split as 2019–2022. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2024 Kia Seltos is the facelifted first gen — new nose and cabin, same NZ powertrains: 2.0 IVT FWD or 1.6T DCT AWD. ANCAP remains the 2019 5-star result for pre-October-2022 cars; facelift cars still carry that structure and a full ADAS suite in NZ.
