If you love to stand out and stay safe while you're on the road, Kia has several great options for you to choose from, including the 2022 Kia Seltos. With a striking design and versatility, the Seltos can navigate the streets around Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Rio Rancho, New Mexico, with ease.
Pitre Kia is here to show you the ins and outs of the 2022 Kia Seltos. This review will cover the performance, style, and driver-assist and safety features of the Kia Seltos.
Sporty Performance
The Seltos has the space of a Kia SUV but the drive of a sportier Kia car. The standard 2.0L 4-cylinder engine delivers 147 horsepower, which is enough power to get you around.
You can opt for the available 1.6L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that delivers an impressive 175 horsepower if you want even more. Both engines offer Drive Mode Select, so you can select your driving experience every time you get into your Kia Seltos.
To help you save fuel, both engines are also equipped with standard Idle Stop and Go. This system turns off your engine when you're idling to save fuel and kicks it back on when you're ready to drive again.
Confident Style
The Kia Seltos is a stylish Kia SUV inside and out.
On the outside, the Seltos boasts great color options, including 2-toned options like Starbright Yellow/Cherry Black and Dark Ocean Blue/Cherry Black. Combine this with a black front grille, and you've got a Kia SUV that draws attention from the front and the sides.
Inside the Seltos, you'll have options for cloth and SynTex materials in a few colors. An available leather-wrapped steering wheel gives you a sleek, comfortable look.
Heated seats and 10-way power adjustability for the driver's seat are also available, so you can get the most comfort from the Kia Seltos.
Safety and Driver-Assist Features
The 2022 Kia Seltos is an incredibly safe Kia vehicle-earning the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) 2021 TOP SAFETY PICK award. This means that the 2022 Kia Seltos scored extremely well in the crash tests that the IIHS performed.
Part of what keeps the Kia Seltos safe are the driver-assist and safety features in the Kia Drive Wise suite.
Forward Collision Avoidance-Assist is a standard feature in this suite, keeping an eye out for potential accidents with other rides or pedestrians. The system will apply the brakes to lessen the severity or avoid an accident if one is imminent.
Driver Attention Warning keeps an eye on your driving patterns, so that it can detect distracted or drowsy driving. If it detects decreased attention to driving, the system will warn you.
Standard Lane Keeping Assist is helpful on the highway. It provides gentle corrective steering if you unintentionally drift out of your lane.
