If you go with the Jeep Wrangler, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Seltos.
Handling
The Jeep Wrangler has a significantly larger turning radius than the Kia Seltos, making it much more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.
Performance

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Jeep Wrangler does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.
Utility

The Jeep Wrangler has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Kia Seltos.
