We are currently not recommending any modern Hyundai Motor Group products, especially if you plan to keep the vehicle past warranty period (>100,000 miles).

I was told that it's built in Korea and shipped to Canada means it's better built . Is that right ?

Thank you for your advice. I have cancelled the deal with dealership.
I told them the reason why I don't want to buy Kia
Thank you all

Also, see recall for Seltos: engine issues

Point of Assembly and diligent maintenance (under ownership) do not make up for poor engineering/design. Reliability, longevity, durability all have to be engineered/designed in from the beginning.

This is also the first year of a brand new generation, so there will be potential for growing pains.  As such we advise to avoid first years of a new generation, as you don’t want to be a guinea pig for Kia:  they are not even paying you to test for them.

Don’t get sucked into the trap of Korean vehicles.
