Comparison Review

Comfort
The Cadillac XT4 offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia Seltos. The Kia Seltos will be a hit with tall drivers and their front seat passengers, since it has greater front head- and legroom than the Cadillac XT4.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Cadillac XT4 will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Seltos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Cadillac XT4 is much wider than the Kia Seltos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. For some people, bigger is better. If that's the case for you, then you'll be happier with the Cadillac XT4, which is slightly longer than the Kia Seltos.

Handling
The Cadillac XT4 has a larger turning radius than the Kia Seltos, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Cadillac XT4 greatly out-muscles the Kia Seltos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Cadillac XT4 does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Cadillac XT4 and the Kia Seltos. The Cadillac XT4 has significantly less cargo capacity than the Kia Seltos.
