Kia pairs style with practicality in its Seltos model. Seltos was launched last year as a brand new model, so it comes without any major updates this year. Many features are added as standard features in all the trims of this model. These features include forward collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, lane-keep assist and lane departure warning, lane following assist, high beam assist, and a driver attention system. For the 2022 model year, Kia has replaced S Turbo with the Nightfall Edition. When it comes to the crossovers, we have to choose between the practicality of a boxy shape and the attractiveness of rounded edges that inevitably sacrifice space and utility. But Seltos maintain the balance between the two. Seltos's excellently designed cabin proves that Kia is struggling to provide a deluxe interior at an affordable price range. Seltos is offered in five trim levels: LX, S, EX, Nightfall Edition, and SX Turbo. Seltos SX Turbo is the luxurious trim level of this model which is powered by a 1.6 Liter, In-line 4-cylinder Turbocharged engine paired with 7-Speed Quick-Shift DCT Transmission. All-Wheel drive comes as a standard drivetrain with all trims. The engine helps it to deliver an engaging driving demeanor and competitive fuel economy of 25 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. It produces a horsepower of 175 hp @ 6,000 rpm and gives 195 lb.-ft. @ 1,500-4,500 rpm torque. This five-seater has an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 10 sec, and its top speed is capped at 167 mph. The SX Turbo carries complete safety suite, including highway driving assist, cyclist detection, smart cruise control, and safe exit assist that are absent in all other trims.
