Spent some quality seat time in the 2024 Kia Seltos (under 30k!) and the Kia Telluride SX-Prestige X-Pro AWD. Had time to test both in the snow, rain and sun of Michigan winter. Impressive on both counts. 

We also discuss the auto industry shifting back to hybrid technology. Part of a bigger portfolio and we're happy to see it.
