The only compromise Kia makes with the 2022 Seltos is its size, which is hardly what you’d call a compromise when it competes in a segment where all vehicles are a similar size. The 2022 Kia Seltos is a five-door, five-seat subcompact crossover SUV with a spacious interior, sporty styling, high levels of standard equipment, attractive pricing, and a class-leading warranty. If five seats are enough for your needs and great value for money is a priority, the 2022 Kia Seltos is a seriously strong contender for the top spot on your shopping list.
You have five different versions of the Kia Seltos to choose from at the moment and this is one of those relatively rare vehicles where the base model makes a very strong argument for itself, rather than being a stripped-down fleet model to achieve an attractive price to draw buyers into showrooms. The base model is the Seltos LX and from there the lineup goes to the S, Nightfall Edition, EX, and finally to the SX Turbo. The gap in MSRPs from the base model to the range-topping SX Turbo is relatively small, so the Seltos really does represent sensational value for money at every level in the range.
While a lot of the smallest SUVs at the moment don’t offer buyers a choice of engines, there are two excellent powerplants to choose from for the Seltos. The base engine is a 2.0-liter inline-four that develops 146 horsepower and 132 lb.-ft. of torque, and this unit is standard in LX, S, and EX versions of the Seltos. The alternative powerplant is a 1.6-liter turbo-four that produces 175 horsepower and 195 lb.-ft. of torque, and to get this engine you have to go for a Nightfall Edition or an SX Turbo version of the Kia.
Models with the 2.0-liter engine come with an Intelligent Variable Transmission (IVT), while turbo models utilize a 7-speed quick-shift DCT transmission instead. All models come standard with AWD except the Seltos S which is standard front-wheel-drive, but AWD is available for the S if you want it.
It would obviously be out of order to say the 2022 Kia Seltos has it all, but it’s certainly fair to say you get an awful lot for your money with this particularly stylish and affordable subcompact crossover SUV.
