Regardless both seem like last generation models in terms of automotive styling trends – meaning they look nice and familiar. However both are a let down in terms of what Kia is capable of doing, which is disappointing.

The conclusion and winner of the Kia Stonic Vs Kia Seltos comparison is the Seltos. It is a conditional win as it applies only to the entry level Kia Seltos due to pricing. That said the Seltos model range is ultimately more expensive that competes with arguably much nicer models like the CX-5, CR-V and even the newest X-Trail or Subaru XV and Forester to consider.
