Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Kia Seltos than the Mitsubishi Outlander. The Kia Seltos offers just a little more front head- and legroom than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making it a little more comfortable for the driver and front passenger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Kia Seltos as you will with the Mitsubishi Outlander, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

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 Mitsubishi Outlander, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Kia Seltos is much slimmer than the Mitsubishi Outlander, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Kia Seltos, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Handling
The Kia Seltos has a smaller turning radius than the Mitsubishi Outlander, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Kia Seltos has a little less horsepower than the Mitsubishi Outlander.

Powertrain
The Kia Seltos has much lower torque than the Mitsubishi Outlander, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Kia Seltos has less seating than the Mitsubishi Outlander, making the Mitsubishi Outlander the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. You'll be able to fit about the same amount of groceries in the Kia Seltos as you will in the Mitsubishi Outlander.
