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 EX is powered by a 2.0L Inline-4 Gas engine. 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 27 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway. It produces a horsepower of 146 hp @ 6,200 rpm and gives 132 lb.-ft. @ 4,500 rpm torque. EX AWD has an acceleration of 0-60 mph in 10 sec, and its top speed is capped at 167 mph. The features that EX adds are automatic climate control, smart keyless entry, and a remote start function, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Besides these features it upgrades the interior to plusher leatherette upholstery and adds a wireless phone charger for convenience.
