Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Kia Seltos than in the Lexus UX 250h. The Kia Seltos will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Lexus UX 250h.

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). Clearly, the Kia Seltos is a better financial choice over the Lexus UX 250h, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Kia Seltos is much slimmer than the Lexus UX 250h, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Kia Seltos is slightly shorter than the Lexus UX 250h, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Kia Seltos has the same turning radius as the Lexus UX 250h, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Kia Seltos has a little less horsepower than the Lexus UX 250h.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Kia Seltos and the Lexus UX 250h.
