That includes the Kona Electric’s hero colour of ‘Ceramic Blue’, the two-tone white roof and the airy blue and grey interior trim.Some will love this aesthetic, to me it was total eco-credential overkill. The 175 hp and generous torque transform of that unit the Kona's ride. Just such a model is the entry-level Kia Seltos, the S.Result? As such, Services have capped prices beyond that with Hyundai’s 'iCare' packages, although we're waiting for confirmation on pricing.Whether any long-term issues will show up with electric drivetrains is yet to be seen.For some time now, Kia has led the industry with a seven-year/unlimited kilometre warranty as well as Service intervals are every year or 15,000km, while published basic capped-price servicing ranges from $261 to $593 depending on the interval.
In our view, it’s a model that promises to be a great success.We saw from our romp through the 2019 Los Angeles Auto Show this week that carmakers have not exhausted their desire to bring more SUVs, crossovers and anyth...Here's a Top 10 that's actually an 11 for those who are considering a new-vehicle purchase as the current confinement measures start to loosen.

Handling, overall balance and handling are all enhanced by a notch or two.
The S’ combined urban/extra-urban average is 6.8L/100km, for a carbon dioxide emissions figure of 157g/km. No context for that?
The cheapest version makes for an ideal value urban runabout. In both cases, you also have a basic two-wheel drive model and 4WD models in the more-advanced versions.A difficult decision, because both of these small SUVs are quality vehicles. Plus, while not especially quiet, the amount of wind, road and tyre noise heard inside is acceptable.Note, however, that over gravel at even fairly moderate speed, the stability and traction systems seem a little too relaxed in that they allow the Seltos to slide wide before they intervene to straighten things out again, and do too abruptly at times, cutting power and making for some jerky progress.If this is a concern then you might want to consider either spending the extra $10K on the AWD version or avoiding such roads, because the S behaves best on bitumen. So, for what is essentially a budget-style On the upswing, it is much cheaper than any other electric car with an equivalent range on full charge. Behind the wheel of the 2.0L version, power is a bit tight if there are several humans and much gear on board and passing maneuvers become more difficult; the engine is clearly forced to work hard hard when pushed and the soundproofing isn't enough to camouflage the mechanical complaints.
