Certified Pre-owned Kia Seltos For Sale
Plaza Kia keeps Kia Certified Pre-Owned Seltos SUVs on the lot at 2746 Nostrand Avenue. It is Kia's small SUV, inspected and backed by Kia, so you get near-new peace of mind in an easy-to-park SUV with available all-wheel drive at a pre-owned price, and here is what certification adds and which Seltos to pick.
What a certified Seltos gets you
Every Kia Certified Pre-Owned Seltos passes a 165-point inspection by a Kia-trained technician and restores Kia's 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty from its original in-service date, plus 1 year or 12,000 miles of Platinum Coverage, roadside assistance, and a CARFAX report. Certification covers Kias up to six years old with under 80,000 miles, so most certified Seltos models are first-generation 2021 to 2026 SUVs, with the all-new 2027 generation starting to join them.

What Kia Certified Pre-Owned adds
| Benefit | What you get | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection | 165-point inspection by a Kia-trained technician, reconditioning with manufacturer-authorized parts | Problems are found and fixed before you buy, not after |
| Powertrain warranty | 10 years or 100,000 miles, covering the engine, transmission, and related components | Restores the full coverage a second owner would otherwise lose |
| Platinum Coverage | 1 year or 12,000 miles of comprehensive coverage from the purchase date | Electronics, climate, and tech features are protected in year one |
| Roadside and travel | 24-hour roadside assistance, plus towing, rental car, and travel breakdown reimbursement for covered repairs | Help on the BQE or on a road trip without an extra membership |
| History and extras | CARFAX vehicle history report and a 90-day SiriusXM trial | You know the vehicle's past before you sign |
The short version: Kia's 10-year powertrain warranty covers only the first owner, and a regular used Seltos drops to 5 years or 60,000 miles. Certification brings the full 10-year or 100,000-mile coverage back and adds a year of Platinum Coverage, and on a Seltos that is a few years old, that can mean several extra years of protection compared with buying used.
Which certified Seltos to pick
A 2021 to 2023 certified Seltos is the value pick, with the original first-generation design, a 2.0L engine on most trims, a turbocharged engine on top trims, and available all-wheel drive, at the lowest certified price.
A 2024 to 2026 certified Seltos is the sweet spot for most buyers, with the refreshed styling and updated technology of the later first-generation models. A 2027 certified Seltos, when available, brings the all-new second generation, with best-in-class passenger space, more cargo room, and a standard 12.3-inch touchscreen. In any year, an S or EX with all-wheel drive balances features and price. Engines, trims, and equipment vary by year, so confirm details on each listing.
The honest part: certified is not the cheapest way in, and the first-generation Seltos is small. If budget comes first and you are comfortable with shorter coverage, a used Kia Seltos costs less. Late-model certified Seltos SUVs can price close to a new 2027 that starts under $25,000, so compare against a new Seltos with current incentives before you decide. The 2021 to 2026 Seltos has a snug back seat, so if you need more room, a certified Kia Sportage is the next size up.
What makes it work here
A certified Seltos is built for city life with less risk. Its compact footprint slips into tight parallel parking spots on Brooklyn blocks, the upright SUV seating gives you a better view in traffic, and available all-wheel drive handles snowy side streets and weekend trips upstate. It is practical enough for groceries, strollers, and gear, and Kia-backed coverage means fewer surprises along the way.
The recognition, briefly
The Seltos quickly became one of Kia's best sellers after its 2021 debut, praised for its value, well-designed cabin, and available all-wheel drive at a low price. Kia's certified pre-owned program is known for one of the longest powertrain warranties in the industry, which makes a certified Seltos one of the safer pre-owned small SUV buys.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a certified pre-owned Kia Seltos cost?
It depends on model year, trim, drivetrain, and mileage. A Kia Certified Pre-Owned Seltos typically costs somewhat more than a comparable used Seltos and less than a new one, which starts at $24,990 for the 2027 LX FWD before destination. The inventory above shows live prices for every certified Seltos on the lot.
What does Kia Certified Pre-Owned include?
A 165-point inspection by a Kia-trained technician, a 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty from the original in-service date, 1 year or 12,000 miles of Platinum Coverage from the purchase date, 24-hour roadside assistance, towing, rental, and travel breakdown benefits, a CARFAX vehicle history report, and a 90-day SiriusXM trial.
Which Seltos models can be certified?
Kia Certified Pre-Owned covers Kia vehicles up to six years old with under 80,000 miles that pass inspection. The Seltos launched for 2021, so first-generation 2021 to 2026 models and the all-new 2027 can qualify, depending on age and mileage.
Why buy a certified Seltos instead of a used one?
Mostly for the warranty. Kia's 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain warranty covers only the original owner, and later owners get 5 years or 60,000 miles. Certification restores the full 10-year or 100,000-mile powertrain coverage and adds Platinum Coverage and roadside assistance, especially valuable on an older, higher-mileage Seltos.
Which certified Seltos should I buy?
For most buyers, a refreshed 2024 to 2026 S or EX with all-wheel drive, which balances features, age, and price. A 2021 to 2023 model is the value pick, a turbocharged top trim delivers quicker acceleration, and a certified 2027 brings the all-new, roomier design. Confirm engine and equipment on each listing.
Does a certified Seltos have all-wheel drive?
Many do. All-wheel drive has been offered across the Seltos lineup, standard on some trims and optional on others depending on the year. Check the individual listing if AWD matters to you.
Is there a certified Kia Seltos Hybrid?
Not yet. The first Seltos Hybrid arrives with the all-new generation later in 2026. For a certified hybrid Kia SUV today, look at a certified Niro Hybrid or Sportage Hybrid.
Can I trade in my current car and finance a certified Seltos?
Yes to both. You can get pre-approved before you visit, and we will appraise your current car whether or not you buy from us. Certified vehicles may also qualify for special Kia Finance rates when offered.
What is Plaza Auto Mall?
A family-owned Brooklyn dealership group that has operated on Nostrand Avenue since 1975. It brings five new-car brands together, Kia, Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, and Acura, along with certified pre-owned inventory from each and a multibrand used-car operation. More than 1,000 vehicles sit within a seven-minute walk, so you can cross-shop in one visit, with one trade appraisal and one finance office.
