Used 2024 Kia Seltos for Sale nearVictoria, BC

How much does the 2024 Kia Seltos cost?

Prices have softened 10.12% compared to this time last year, making it a favourable time to shop this model year.

There are 808 listings available, which suggests a healthy amount of inventory for you to compare.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos a good car?

Yes — the 2024 Kia Seltos earns a 4.8/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The model scores 9/10 across Cost effectiveness and Safety.

Owners consistently praise its features, comfort, handling, spaciousness, and safety options, and many also like the stylish design. For a small crossover, it feels especially complete because it combines practical packaging with easy-to-use technology and plenty of standard equipment.

The main trade-offs are that the base engine feels underpowered and the optional turbo engine can suffer from low-speed turbo-lag. Even so, the Seltos makes sense if you want a practical, well-equipped subcompact SUV with everyday comfort and usability. With 30.4% of listings marked as good or great deals, there’s still meaningful value in the market.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos reliable?

Owners rate it 4.8/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The owner feedback points to a dependable, trouble-free ownership experience, with praise centred on comfort, features, and overall satisfaction. The expert review also describes the Seltos as a well-rounded small SUV that has been refined rather than reinvented, which supports the impression of a mature, settled package.

Kia’s cost-effectiveness notes also highlight that the Seltos is built around a practical formula with modern tech and safety features, which can help reduce day-to-day ownership friction. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is choosing a trim or powertrain that doesn’t suit your needs, especially if you want stronger acceleration.

What should I look for when buying a used 2024 Kia Seltos?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The LX includes 17-inch alloy wheels, cloth upholstery, fog lights, heated front seats and side mirrors, manually adjustable front seats, two USB ports, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The EX adds solar glass, a sunroof, LED daytime running lights, keyless entry with push-button start, combination cloth-and-synthetic leather upholstery, and single-zone automatic climate control.

The X-Line adds 18-inch alloy wheels with gloss black finish, a unique dark gunmetal grille design, black sport design roof rails, and other subtle styling tweaks.
• Powertrain: The base 2.0-litre four-cylinder makes 146 horsepower and 132 lb-ft of torque and uses Kia’s IVT. The LX comes standard with front-wheel drive, with optional all-wheel drive, which is also available on the EX. From EX Premium, AWD is standard. The SX and X-Line use a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder with 195 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic and standard AWD.
• Safety package: Standard driver assistance features include forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist and lane-departure warning, lane-follow assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Safe Exit Warning. EX Premium adds smart adaptive cruise control that can stop and go with traffic and uses navigation to predict curves. The SX adds traffic sign recognition, highway driving assist, a junction-turning function to the forward collision warning, and drive-away warning.
• Infotainment: The base system uses an 8-inch touchscreen with a 4.2-inch digital instrument screen, while upper trims upgrade to a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument panel and a 10.25-inch touchscreen. Both setups include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the system keeps physical volume and tuning dials plus hard climate buttons.
• Fuel efficiency: The base 2.0-litre engine with FWD returns 8.3 L/100 km city, 6.8 highway, and 7.6 combined. With AWD, it returns 8.8 L/100 km city, 7.5 highway, and 8.2 combined. The 1.6-litre turbo-four with AWD returns 9.4 city, 8.7 highway, and 9.1 combined.

Which 2024 Kia Seltos trim should I buy?

The 2024 Kia Seltos is offered in 5 trim levels: LX, EX, EX Premium, SX, and X-Line.

Here's the short version:

• LX: This is the value play if you want the lowest entry point and still want heated front seats, an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a strong standard safety list. It’s also the trim where AWD is available, which makes it the best-value choice for many shoppers.
• EX: This trim adds a sunroof, keyless entry with push-button start, LED daytime running lights, and upgraded upholstery, so it’s the one to consider if you want a more polished daily driver without jumping too far up the price ladder.
• EX Premium: This is the smart step-up if you want the fully digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, and standard AWD. It’s the trim that best balances equipment and value for shoppers who want more tech and all-weather confidence.
• SX: Choose this if you want the most upscale cabin experience, with the Bose audio system, digital key, rain-sensing wipers, and the turbocharged engine. It’s the most feature-rich mainstream trim.
• X-Line: This is the style-focused top trim in Canada, with unique exterior details and the turbo powertrain. It suits you if you want the most distinctive look and the fullest equipment list.

The standard safety package is strong across the lineup, but the more advanced driver-assistance features are reserved for EX Premium and SX.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2024 Kia Seltos?

This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you’re patient.

• Deal availability: 30.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 808 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.12% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $25,841 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.

What is the 2024 Kia Seltos's resale value?

The current average of $25,841 CAD sits slightly below last year's $28,751 CAD.

That softer pricing can be good news if you’re buying now, but it also means a future seller may need to be realistic about expectations. The market has already adjusted downward, so resale gains are less likely unless demand tightens or the vehicle is especially well equipped and well kept.

For owners, the upside is that the Seltos still has broad appeal because it combines space, standard features, and all-weather usefulness. That helps support demand in the used market, even if pricing has cooled.

Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.8/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.

Is the 2024 Kia Seltos safe?

The 2024 Kia Seltos earns a Top Safety Pick rating from IIHS and five-star ratings from NHTSA.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

The standard safety suite includes forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist and lane-departure warning, lane-follow assist, automatic high beams, driver attention warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and Safe Exit Warning.

If you want more advanced driver assistance, you need to move past the EX trim. EX Premium adds smart adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability and curve prediction, while the SX adds traffic sign recognition, highway driving assist, a junction-turning function for forward collision warning, and drive-away warning.

Should I buy a 2024 Kia Seltos or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2024 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2024 if:

• 30.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 10.12% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 4.8/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2024 model brings fresh styling and updated technology while keeping the Seltos’s spacious, practical formula intact.

The bottom line: If you want the freshest version of this formula and you value updated styling plus strong standard equipment, the 2024 is the better pick. If you’re mainly focused on price, a nearby model year may still make sense, but the 2024’s softened pricing and solid owner satisfaction make it the safer all-around choice.
