Comparison Review

Comfort
The Ford Bronco offers a bit more room for passengers in the back seat than the Kia Seltos. The Ford Bronco will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Kia Seltos.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Bronco as you will with the Kia Seltos, 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). The Ford Bronco will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Kia Seltos, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Bronco is much wider than the Kia Seltos, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Ford Bronco, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Kia Seltos.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Ford Bronco greatly out-muscles the Kia Seltos.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Ford Bronco does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Kia Seltos.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Bronco and the Kia Seltos. With the Ford Bronco, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Kia Seltos.
