Looking for a versatile and high-performing SUV that can take you anywhere? Check out the 2022 Kia Seltos. This roomy and fuel-efficient subcompact SUV has room for just about everything. Whether transporting gear for the next big adventure, packing a cargo hold full of towels and coolers for a family beach day, or cramming in all the necessary add-ons for the next road trip, the Seltos have you covered. For added versatility and customization, the Seltos comes in five trim levels. That means lots of options for useful and exciting features that make your vehicle perfect for you.
The LX
The LX is the base-level trim for the 2022 Seltos, but there’s little that’s basic about it. The LX comes standard with a 146-horsepower four-cylinder engine that provides just the right amount of oomph. Its continuously variable automatic transmission promises to keep your ride smooth, and its front-wheel-drive format delivers the best fuel efficiency of the trim offerings. The LX gets an impressive 36 mpg on the highway and about 29 mpg driving in the city. Many exciting safety features, like emergency automatic braking, lane-departure warnings, and rear-view camera, come standard on the LX.
The infotainment system is one of the differences between the LX and some of the other trim offerings. The LX’s system is 8 inches, smaller than the other trims’ screens. Still, the system offers lots of useful features and is extremely user-friendly. Experience clear menus and seamless connectivity to your devices. The back seat offers 60/40 split-folding to customize your cargo room and get the most from your space.
The S
The S offers many exciting safety features and capabilities, such as the LX. It has the same 146-horsepower engine, but one difference that sets it apart is its larger infotainment system. Drivers can enjoy an additional 2 inches of screen with the S’s 10.25-inch infotainment system. Conveniently charge your devices using the vehicle’s standard two USB ports and power outlet. Rear passengers won’t have to pass their phones in front. Instead, they can use the rear seat’s charger. Rear air vents promise to optimize rear passenger comfort further.
Some stylish interior inclusions help to further elevate the Seltos S’s appearance. With upgraded trim, a leather-wrapped wheel and shifter, heated outside mirrors, and interior LED lighting, the Seltos provides a very elevated driving experience. Opt for heated seats up front for maximum comfort and style. Also available is an all-wheel-drive option that improves your ability to take your Seltos anywhere safely.
The EX
The EX is the third and final trim level to come standard with the 146-horsepower, four-cylinder engine. It delivers the full luxury experience, with premier features like an automatic sunroof, a push-start engine, and high-tech wireless phone charging. Synthetic leather seats add sophistication and class, and the standard all-wheel drive promises ultimate confidence. The EX still represents an incredible value even with all these added features and options.
Experience all the great safety features that come standard with more base-line SUV models, but get several more. The EX trim includes a rear cross-traffic alert and blind-spot monitoring. These features can help you stay safe on the road and avoid an undesirable collision. Also included in the EX is the larger, 10.25-inch infotainment system with different charge ports for all your devices. The front seat also gets an upgrade in the EX, allowing drivers to customize their seat position automatically using the power adjuster.
Nightfall Edition
The next highest trim offering is the Seltos Nightfall Edition. Its interior and exterior black trim make the Nightfall Edition successful as a statement piece. The engine also gets an upgrade in the Nightfall for increased horsepower. Opt for the turbocharged 175 horsepower engine for even more satisfying power on the road.
Standard all-wheel-drive and a seven-speed automatic transmission ensure the smoothest ride. In addition to the SUV’s spacious interior, you can pack even more using the Nightfall’s all-black roof rack. Also black on the vehicle are the SUV’s 18-inch matte black wheels and front grille frame.
The SX Turbo
The ultimate Seltos trim level, the SX Turbo, has great features and options. Still a great value, the Turbo sets itself apart from other SUVs. Every great thing about the previous models, including the synthetic leather seats, multiple charge ports, an optional sunroof, and a 10.25-inch infotainment system, is available in the SX Turbo. Also standard is the higher-power 175 horsepower engine. The desirable seven-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive further help to make this trim level shine.
Take sound to the next level with an eight-speaker Bose sound system. A digital gauge cluster is visually appealing and useful, providing easy access to all the top functionality in the SUV. Intelligent cruise control that adjusts your speed if vehicles in front of you travel slower than your set speed is also standard on the SX Turbo. Feel extra sporty with a unique steering wheel shape with an ergonomic flat bottom.
We know many options exist in the 2022 Kia Seltos, and you can’t go wrong. Those wanting more engine power should opt for the higher-end-of-the-range options, like the Night Hawk or the SX Turbo. Those wanting extra connectivity can find it in the EX trim and higher. Extra style exists with the S, where passenger comfort and useful interior features dominate. Choose a front-wheel-drive option like the LX trim for the best gas mileage.
