If you’re looking for stealthy good looks in your crossover, check out the 2022 Kia Seltos Turbo Nightfall Edition.
The 2022 Kia Seltos Turbo Nightfall Edition adds to a lineup that consists of two engines, two transmissions and the choice of front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). Beside the special model, the rest of the trim walk remains the same: moving through LX, S, EX, S Turbo and SX Turbo. Prices start at $23,165 including destination — $500 higher than before — and a well-equipped model can touch $30,000 ($29,165).
We’ve tested the Kia Seltos in the past and came away with mixed feelings. The packaging, looks and day-to-day function were wizard. A great overall package. Unfortunately, when pushed hard off-road, the dual-clutch transmission went into limp-home mode. Fortunately, everything returned to normal when it cooled down.
More on that special edition
According to Kia, the Seltos’ Nightfall Edition (AWD trim) includes exclusive 18-inch matte black alloy wheels, unique black grill, stand-up roof rails and unique side sills. This special trim slots just under the SX package (price-wise), and it comes packed with standard features.
Base model Seltos come with a 146 horsepower, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that makes 132 lbs-feet of torque. The power is sent through Kia’s IVT – which is a beefed up continuously variable transmission (CVT). shawn polk
