The floor to the trunk has two levels. One sits flush while the other pops down a few inches. Or you can remove the trunk cover and put it under.

[@carsunlocked]

thats weird as it wasnt like that on this model

[@timseawright6593]

As like one of your other viewers mentioned, wish the American version came with all the goodies I just purchased one about four months ago and it does not have cooled seats or heated seats in the back or rain sensing wipers or the hud system. And I paid about $31500

[@carsunlocked]

wow super strange guess us canadians have it better eh

[@jojo1990ish]

I have a kia Seltos. The trunk has two settings. if you pull out bottom carpet u can lower it to give u more space. i always keep it the same as it is in the video and lift the carpet up and use it as storage for other things

[@carsunlocked]

very interesting thanks for commenting Joey

[@wandering4786]

Is it true the seltos doesn’t have an “open trunk” button on the key ? How do you have to open it ?

[@jojo1990ish]

@@wandering4786 yes its true there isn't an open trunk button on they keys. u have to do it old school and open it from the button on the trunk and pull up. Only think i dont like about the car but i've learned to live with it. They might add it in the 2023 models since they seem to be adding it to the new Sportage.

[@wandering4786]

@@jojo1990ish oh when you said old school I thought you were going to say you had to stick a key in the trunk to unlock it 😂 that’s what I consider old school haha. But even older cars have push buttons for the trunk on the fob, so I’m surprised about the kia. I’ve never owned a kia, but considering getting a 2022. Does it have a button inside the car?

[@jojo1990ish]

@@wandering4786 actually no the only way to open the trunk is to open the latch.

[@bobbanks7275]

We love our 2022 KIA Seltos SX Turbo. I also don't use that heads up display.

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks for watching

[@terrylewis1157]

Tried one out , and had difficulty seeing the speedometer thru the steering wheel , and the rocker panels stick out too far and bind in your leg when getting out , don't think they have a hands free lift gate either?

[@carsunlocked]

hey disappointing you didnt enjoy it as much as I did.

[@MarkJohnson1960]

Great looking vehicle. Nice review

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks so much for watching Mark

[@dawnacurler420]

Not waisted space in the cargo compartment. The bottom panel slides out and can be put down a couple of inches.

[@carsunlocked]

that wasnt the case on this model?

[@stevena3333]

@@carsunlocked it was. You just didn’t know it is all. That’s ok

[@JorgePerez-up7js]

Nice one Christopher!!! Not to small, not to big...styling, technology and spacious cabin plus the piano thing !! You look like the piano man 🤣🤣🤣cheers

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks so much for watching my friend !

[@crummockiphail9720]

I'm pretty sure he called it the XX, XS, and XF at various points in this video. 😂

the nerves got to me

As my beloved "you know the thing"

[@tiannaparris691]

would you recommend this for a first time buyer?

[@carsunlocked]

I think it would be a great option if it is within your budget

[@Stephen_A.]

That is a nice price for that trim level !

[@carsunlocked]

It sure is!

[@Stephen_A.]

@@carsunlocked 😋

[@Bluegreenred]

Is this Seltos top trim smaller in size compared to Kia Sportage?

[@carsunlocked]

yes

[@MasterSumai]

I've seen complaints made that the driver & passengers can hear the Turbo Whistle inside the car while driving??

[@carsunlocked]

we didnt hear the turbo whistle while driving

[@MasterSumai]

@@carsunlocked 😁

[@musicgroup4753]

Why are the dash lights flashing is that the camera or a setting??

[@carsunlocked]

yes its just the lights hitting the camera

[@Stephen_A.]

LOL, you had those heated seats set to saute. 😄

[@carsunlocked]

of course i did

[@Stephen_A.]

@@carsunlocked 😁

[@Stephen_A.]

@@carsunlocked The heated seats in my Versa are intense. Even on the low setting, I have to turn it off after 5 minutes. 🙂

[@larrymautone617]

Watching Kia seltos Sx Turbo review. In the cargo area you mentioned too much space under lid. The Cargo Cover stores under the cargo lid. Also you talk about things like the console & hard plastics ,but you do not show them. Incomplete video

[@carsunlocked]

well you can see the hard plastic all over the vehicle sir

[@jdlaurence9900]

The Host is as Hot as the Seltos...

[@carsunlocked]

thanks for commenting

[@ltlager8807]

Wish the USA got all the goodies! We don’t get cooled seats, heated steaming wheel, hud, rain sensing wipers or rear heated seats! Sad

[@carsunlocked]

reallllly those are big features?

[@ltlager8807]

@@carsunlocked To me ya! I spend a lot of time driving and in the summer Oklahoma gets hot and rainy so wipers and ventilated seats are nice! It also can get quiet cold in the winter and the steering wheel would be nice! I’m still getting the seltos but just wish it came with what Canada gets!

[@carsunlocked]

@@ltlager8807it's very strange the models r different

[@ltlager8807]

@@carsunlocked agreed

[@lorrilewis2178]

I believe the U.S. does get the heated steering wheel.

[@rko316632]

Does it have Wireless Andrid Auto, or does it only work wired into the USB Port??

[@carsunlocked]

No wireless

[@jimpare7695]

Only wired

[@nganlethao7260]

Is road noise still a problem with the 2022? Thank you

[@carsunlocked]

It wasn't as bad as the older ones

No report on the dual clutch transmission? Thats a big part of this drivetrain!

[@carsunlocked]

Sorry sir

[@user-zx8vr2bw8d]

the music is too loud man, kinda annoying. otherwise good review

[@carsunlocked]

thanks I let the team know

[@Stephen_A.]

The piano black isn't too bad. It will collect finger prints and dust. but when cleaning the windows, a quick wipe will clean it. Having one of those swiffer dusters also is quick on taking off the dust.

[@TT-wz6wp]

The piano black looks nice. You can go to Canadian tire and buy Meguiars quick interior detailed cleaner wipes. Safe on all surfaces and even cleans your nav screen. They also have gold class rich leather cleaner and conditioner wipes for your leather seats. Both have 25 full size wipes and can clean a lot with only using one sheet.

[@carsunlocked]

Thanks for the input here guys

[@Stephen_A.]

@@TT-wz6wp Believe it or not, I use just plain water and a microfiber cloth. It sounds crazy but it works. 🙂

[@larrywelch2280]

I love this vehicle and I want one

[@carsunlocked]

awesome thanks for watching

[@randyscott1496]

The seats are not leather. it's a high grade vinyl. Whether it projects on the windshield or on 'a piece of plastic' it's a true HUD. Other than the seats I have no complaints about my '21 sx turbo and I don't know what all the complaints about road noise are about. My previous car was a '16 Chrysler 300. Good review but it sounds like you have little real automotive knowledge.

[@carsunlocked]

Ahhhh sorry Randy dont be made that I said bad things about your kia it is anice ride and our opinions differ however thats ok!

[@Dancer810]

Correction: The SX trim comes with 18" rims, not 17". The Nightfall trim also comes with 18" rims. Also, the seats are not leather but vinyl, and the sunroof is OPTIONAL ($700).

[@carsunlocked]

ok thanks Dancer for the corrections. I live in ONtario canada where this video was filmed the packages might be different in your region

[@vlcm4132]

It literally says 18 on the tires…
