Everything. Seltos is an all-new SUV for the Kia brand and, despite being on sale in global markets for 2020, is launching in the North American market for the 2021 model year.

Pros
Spacious interior,
sweet optional 10.3-inch infotainment,
spry handling.

Cons
Firm ride,
seven-speed automatic hesitant at low speeds,
driver-assistance features not standard.

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee impresses with style and performance, but lags behind in safety and fuel economy.

Pros
Loads of style after all these years
Plenty of powertrain options
Capable off-road Trailhawk
Five adults fit comfortably
Hilarious 707-hp Trackhawk

Cons
A $100,000 Jeep?
Lackluster efficiency
Subpar safety scores
Aging interior

If it was good enough for 2019, it's good enough now: the 2020 Grand Cherokee SRT is unchanged.In a world where nothing succeeds like excess (and with apologies to Mr. Wilde), the 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is just enough. Under its hood is a 475-hp V-8 that partners with an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. With launch control, the SRT can rip from zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Aggressive bodywork, a sport-tuned suspension, and robust brakes help the SRT handle and brake well enough to make some sports cars jealous.

Pros
Incredible acceleration, bold exterior design, more utility than SRT versions of the Dodge Charger or Challenger.

Cons
Penchant for fuel, expensive, big-bro Trackhawk exists.

By: 
caranddriver.com

The 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT comes with four wheel drive. Available transmissions include: 8-speed shiftable automatic,Optional diesel engine is no longer available

Pros
Plush interior with plentiful luxury and technology
Enough off-road ability to conquer practically any trail
Available V8 engines offer substantial power
Impressive tow ratings for the class

Cons
Firm ride quality may disappoint, even with air suspension
Underwhelming acceleration with base V6
Modest quality of cabin materials can be hard to justify
