Kia Seltos v Nissan Qashqai v Subaru Crosstrek 2023 comparison review: Best new small SUV crowned! 

Crosstrek for ride comfort , comfortable seats & AWD stability & grip in bad conditions & gravel roads , but Seltos for larger boot for bigger family & long warranty 😁

This is perfect. I was just trying to find a comparison of these earlier today!

While the Crosstrek misses out on front sensors, I do believe it gets a trail cam and surround view camera from the R grade up, more than making up for that.

Wonderful content.

This comparison feels weird. It wasn't on equal grounds. To know the best value for money you need to use the same budget or top/lowest trim of each

This is a very impressive review, best I've seen.

My daughter bought a Seltos 1 year ago. I think I love it as much as she does. It's brilliant

Hi. Can you tell me what tire and rim fits the spare wheel? It is not available in Spain. You can buy a normal one but you lose a lot of trunk space. Thanks in advance!

Great review. A Nissan e-Power owner here. I love it almost in every aspect. My only issues with it: legal confirmation every time you sit in, the air conditioning uses too strong air blow, even when the temperature is at the desired degree, the fuel consumption diagnostic features are VERY poor, the car would deserve a way better UI for seeing the current consumption. The Bose is a joke. Until you listen to it at low volume, it's okay, but from mid to high volume just loses its dynamic sounding. The middle screen in dark is a bit too bright to me even at lowest settings (I like to dim the screens in every car to decrease peripheric light pollution). Now what I like and why I would never buy anything else from the current market: e-Power ACTUALLY feels like an electric car (instant reactions, dynamic power, silence, etc) but without any fears attached to charging the car. Also I love the HUD (from Tekna and Tekna+). I love the safety systems even despite its a bit "too safe". I love the cockpit noise, I mean the lack of noise... I really love it. I love the doors (85° opening), the big-enough trunk, the modern-ish dashboard and the premium-like materials. I like the angle of sight from the driver's seat and though I needed to buy a wireless adapter to use Android Auto without cables, but it works perfectly. The matrix LED is also phenomenal, works perfectly and strong as the sun. :) All-in-all, the best allrounder compact SUV on the market for me. (if you are thinking which car to buy, check the e-Power Qashqai lastly, as you won't like any hybrid alternatives after that. (just remember if you don't listen to me... I told ya' ;)).

We bought Seltos Sports + AWD and loved the extra power it comes with, no more CVT droning sound which used to drive me nuts :)

Always a love the overall kia SeltoS

2024 Kia Seltos in Canada, X-Line trim has 18 “ wheels, power seats driver and passenger. Also a/c Seats, Heated rear seats, Bose stereo, Awd., LED headlights, taillights do I say more!! That’s why I waited for a 2024 Kia Seltos

To me I will choose qashqai because of epower and it's good looking car 👌

Subie wins on so many levels and is the only one that stands out at all. Symmetrical AWD is what this segment should be all about. The others are just raised hatchbacks.

Where is the CX 30?

can you do reviews for xuv700 and Scorpio as well

I'll buy any of these that are offered in the top level Mazda trim!

For attributes did he really say "a-tributes"? Try "att-ributes" when using it as a noun.

new coming out now says that car prices are about to crash. There has been a bubble created that is about to burst. I would be interested to hear what you as the pros in the game, are hearing behind the curtain. Some US sites are stating an 88% drop in prices. I know that in China, cars are selling at 50% off. What can we expect here in Australia in terms of the discount and when those discounted prices will come in?

Love my 2023 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross exceed, reliability and simplicity preferred. 10 Yr warranty no brainer.

Interestingly the Subaru is way more expensive than the Nissan here in The Netherlands. It is about 90K aud for the bottom comfort spec where the Nissan is about 63K aud in bottom spec....

If the Subie had a 2.5 l it would wipe the floor with everything. The xv/ crosstrek has out sold the Forster for years . They should just can the forry and pump their energy and resources into the Crosstrek . They are clearly aware that giving the Crosstrek more power will take all the sales away from the Forester.

Wow, sitting on the fence must be very uncomfortable.

I'm making the difficult decision between the Kia and Subaru right now.... I prefer the Kia by a small margin but because of the poorly maintained roads in my neck of the woods I'll probably go for the comfort of the Crosstrek.

Kamiq?

Where is Kamiq Simon?

Kona?

Fuel consumption could be better

Urban city and driving Alleyway. KIA Seltos is probably the best. Plus 2.0 Gas engine. You get more than enough power.

Really should have put the CX-30 in there too! That would trump them all.

I don't understand these comparisons of different grades, and thus prices, make no sense to me.

Where is the CX-30?😮

feels a bit unfair for not including toyota in this review

How much Nissan paid you?

Seltos GT line is way to go!

Did I miss which was crowned the overall winner?

Can’t imagine a family settling for the Nissan at that price. May as well get a Kia Sportage for that sort of money. I personally think the Subie has them beat with the rugged focused design, cushy ride and AWD, not to mention that awesome looking portrait screen. I don’t mind the Kia interior either, just don’t like the exterior design at all.

What is the purpose of small SUV?

If Nissan still uses Jatco CVT, I would stay far far away from

Unfortunately the winner here has one drawback I simply couldn't cope with........It's a Nissan.

Crosstrek wins in all categories. Why do people buy Kia?

Easy! I would pick the Nissan Qashqai, I have had a horrible experience with a korean car, but the best experience with the old qashqai that I have owned for 12 years and still running like new. But would go for xtrail this time just for the extra space. The subaru just looks ugly in my opinion. Can't imagine feeling good inside a car that looks like that. Maybe other subaru models except that one.

I feel like Kia really dropped the ball with that dumb beeping noise for every time you go over the speed limit. Absolutely terrible idea... as if they expect everyone to not go slightly above the limit.

The worst thing about the three of these cars is the bloody CVT worst gearbox they could have ever invented

I would take the Crosstreck for ride / suspension comfort and reliability.
