Kia Seltos Recognized As A Top Model For Recent Grads

Yesterday, we covered a story about how the Nissan Sentra is a great choice for recent college grads. Today, Napleton News is adding one more to the list since the Kia Seltos was also named as part of Autotrader’s “10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates in 2020.”

More importantly, the Seltos offers something different for those who may not be interested in a sedan.

“With a bold look, smart technology, and a comfortable interior at an appealing price, the Seltos is a top option for those shopping in the crossover segment,” said Michael Cole, president, Kia Motors America.

Entering the professional workforce after spending your entire life as a student presents its own challenges. But doing so during an unprecedented time further complicates this part of a young person’s life.

That’s why Kia made it a point to make sure that the Seltos fits the needs of the members of our society who are just beginning to venture into their professional careers.

“Despite entering the real world at a challenging time, recent college graduates have reason to celebrate their accomplishment and deserve a vehicle designed to help them tackle life’s next adventure, whether that’s commuting to a new job or taking off on weekend road trips,” said Cole.

Granted, most recent college graduates are not driving across the desert (or are they), but you get the point.

Between the Seltos’ rugged style, high level of performance, and a long list of available features, there is a lot to like about this innovative model. Some of the available features for the 2021 Seltos include a 10.25-inch high-resolution color touchscreen, an 8-speaker Bose premium sound system, and a suite of driver assistance features.

“Kia’s new Seltos SUV has exactly what grads will be looking for in a car that transports them to the next phase of life,” said Brian Moody, executive editor for Autotrader. “Kia’s super-long warranty, low price, and generous standard features make the Seltos a small SUV that can weather just about any storm. We like that all-wheel drive is standard on nearly every model and that the overall footprint is small, but the interior feels very spacious.”

The Ed Napleton Automotive Group has a total of seven Kia dealerships in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Florida. For the full list of all models that have been recognized by Autotrader, visit “10 Best Cars For Recent College Graduates.”
