2022 Kia Seltos Review - Better than its big brother Kia Sportage?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you guys for tuning in. On the 02:24 and 03:49 the wrong b-roll is shown, I have checked, but I think something went wrong while rendering the video. Sorry again, and I will be more careful! Thank you guys!

[@sflscott11]

We love our Seltos. Great handling, very peppy, well equipped, and good mpg.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thanks Scott for sharing your experience with Kia Seltos.!

[@cristisun184]

This seems to be a very well tunned car!Nice on the outside, nice on the inside and very sporty for a 1.6 TGDI with very good mpg.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, really love the 1.6T. It's powerful yet also efficient. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@josephsong7169]

LOVE to see your channel!!! You are one of the most aggressive car tester!!! love it!!!

[@josephsong7169]

I wish you could talk about cabin noise and suspension more, i find not many testers mention these things

[@vladimirad]

Wow the L/100km are better than even the specs on the website. I haven't looked at this model much more cause I was more interested in a hybrid, but those specs are really good!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, the Kia Seltos really returns great fuel economy in real life. Thanks Vladirmir.

[@gyice]

I really liked the Kia Seltos and if they ever decide to put a decent Motor in it I would buy it in a second but having the same Motor as the Soul in a AWS simply doesn't work for me in day to day traffic. I don't want to have to do the slingshot everytime I want to pass another car at On ramp or Freeway speeds.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, the 1.6turbo in Kia seltos is pretty nice one!

[@madbudyou]

Besides the engine choice and dashboard layout, is there any fundamental diffrecence between Seltos for developed country (Korean made) and emerging country (Indian made)? Do both use the same platform?

[@NeoGee]

A very quick and easy internet search revealed the info you wanted. The first variation is the largest version of the Seltos, which is manufactured in South Korea (codename: SP2) mainly aimed for developed markets, including North America and Australasia. The two other variations are the Indian-made Seltos (codename: SP2i) and the closely related Chinese version badged as the Kia KX3 (codename: SP2c). The SP2i and SP2c models are the low-cost versions of the Seltos to penetrate emerging markets, built on the Hyundai-Kia K2 platform and closely related to the second-generation Hyundai Creta/ix25. Despite being a globally marketed model, the Seltos is not sold in the European market.[14] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kia_Seltos

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Well, it seems that Kia have given different tire size and different options, but Kia Seltos should be Kia seltos. Thanks Rahmad.

[@kyrylooale8320]

Hello! Kia Seltos vs Honda HRV vs Mazda CX30? What is better in your opinion? Thank you!

[@impreza99rs]

Hey man… I absolutely love your Chanel!!! I’m in the market for a new Kia or Hyundai… because they offer the best value by far! I’m on the fence for a normal ICE; hybrid, plug in hybrid or FULL electric! As far as I’m concerned, your videos are super important. I would love a Kona N. Or an Ionic 5, or Kia Telliride or Seltos or sportage hybrid or plug in hybrid, or Hyundai SantFe…. There are literally 20+ Korean models I would love to purchase. My budget is 50k…. However it is hard to find certain models here in the north east US. All electric cars are sold out and dealers are charging extra for any orders. PLEASE KEEP BRINGING THE LATEST MODEL INFORMATION…. I know there are more to come. Your videos provide me with the latest Korean auto info! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! Thank you so much… from New Jersey, USA 😎👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you yes, we will keep it rolling. Thank you and hope you find your ride, soon. Thank you.

[@wildbill6366]

Hey Charlie good to see you and I really like the Kia Seltos! I think it looks really good I just wish they would put the 2.5 turbo in it for some fun!!🤣🤣🤣

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Bill, then Kia Seltos will literally fly! Thanks for enjoying!

[@asrockrpg]

@@AsianPetrolhead Please do review 2022 Hyundai H-100/Porter. Thanx.

[@caseysalinger]

I think you put the wrong B-Roll footage of the front right wheel when you were doing the acceleration test. I kept wondering why I was looking at a parked car's tire. Still great coverage of my car

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, i know. It was working fine, but I think something went wrong while rendering the file. >.< Thanks Casey!

[@varunch9319]

Hello, couldn't make it today's premier. Just watch the video. Looks like seltos is value for money. You done a great presentation👏👏

[@AsianPetrolhead]

No worries Varun. Thanks for stopping by and watching our Kia Seltos Video. Thank you & see you soon!

[@mr.noface1988]

Hai Charlie. I'm just curious 🤔 Are there any differences, in specs, interior and exterior, between kia seltos model 2020 and 2022?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

not much!

[@robertchavez2009]

Hi. When is the new 2023 Kia Seltos gonna be lauched? I read somewhere that it will be (by the time I read the FB post) launched by July 14-24, 2022, howcome the Korean Kia webpage still says coming soon. When is it going to be available in the Korean market/dealership?

[@drewski1441]

This is a good looking SUV and moderately priced. I got a question Charlie, do you know if KIA might come out with a small Truck like the Santa Cruz or Ford Maverick? Thanks.

[@timmerred5]

Google KIA pickup. Apparently it will not be KIA’s version of the Santa Cruz, but possibly built on the Telluride platform. Itsounds like it’s being designed (and/or maybe built) in Australia.

[@karanaman68]

Good quality review as always Charlie

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you Scott for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@charlese.johnsonjr5485]

Good evening Charlie, nice to see you again, very nice KIA

[@grandandroid6283]

I would choose it over all rivals and even over the Sportage without hisitation. Great video 👍

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Kia Seltos has very impress gas mileage and looks great! Thanks Grand Android.

[@asrockrpg]

@@AsianPetrolhead Please do review 2022 Kia K-Series/Bongo III CRDi. Thanx.

[@timdsd]

Nice review. I wish Kia would make an EV version.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I am hearing there might be an EV model for the facelift model, but not sure about full EV. But let's wait and see. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@geoffreycowl]

1.25 Not many testers do the horn thing.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, long time ago, one of our subscribers gave me an idea and we are doing it ever since. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@BoopSnoot]

April edition of Consumer Reports shows very below average reliability for the Kia Seltos, but not the Sportage.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Oh, thanks for sharing. And thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review!

[@toannguyenchi2710]

How tall are you mate? I am 180cm tall and afraid that my head will touch the roof of the car

[@romanlewandowski9616]

I have that car 🚘 and I am 180cm have no issues

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I am about 187cm. So, similar. I think you should be okay with Kia Seltos!

[@freespirit7879]

I like that it is tint all around

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Some press cars do come with tinted windows. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@smartnetijen6515]

Interesting 1.6 l turbo engine kia seltos, a compact suv enormous powered. How fast was the top speed you got Charlie?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I don't remember. But fast enough! Thanks Smart for enjoying our new Kia Seltos review.

[@romanlewandowski9616]

I have everything the same as you test car 🚗 except in AUSTRALIA I have all wheel drive and full size mag wheel it’s called GT Line.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Nice, Roman. We also have AWD Kia Seltos, but our tester just didn't come with one! Thanks for sharing.

@@AsianPetrolhead what do you think of the Seltos for a family of 3 (1 is a toddler). Is it spacious even if 4 adults and a baby seat is installed?

[@Victic005]

Impressive gas mileage. Is that the hybrid model?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

No, Quang, just 1.6Turbo and Kia Seltos is quite efficient. Thanks.,

[@gangstaBJK]

So it doesn't warn you for the blind spot but you see the blinking icon on the mirror if you look?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

There's also sound, too. Our camera just didn't pick it up. Sorry for the confusion,. But thanks for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@gangstaBJK]

@@AsianPetrolhead thank you for the great review

[@denisrousseau9071]

Not bad but what if it is used on a bit of off road with an AWD version! ??

[@AsianPetrolhead]

I don't this Kia Seltos is meant to be a hard off roader. Thank you Denis.

[@shlomig70]

Looking for a replacement for my first gen niro, the problem is the seltos in israel sells only with cvt 2l, if they sell turbo, i would bought it already. Seems i would go for the kona.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Oh, 2.0 gasoline engine I haven't driven yet, but I think 1.6 Turbo would be better., Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@peoplelikeus3684]

What size engine / grade is the Seltos as tested?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

1.6Turbo. Fully loaded Kia Seltos. Thanks.

[@maheshkeisam4129]

Why Indian kia seltos is so different from the international market seltos? The tyre size is different, power train, variant line is different, engine size is different, the internal designs(steering, touchscreen,etc.)

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Um... I wonder why. I hope you guys get new Kia Seltos with all the features and goodies. Thank you for enjoying 2022 Kia Seltos review.

[@SureBing06]

i really like this car! cant wait for the newest seltos!

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I am hearing there will be facelift soon, so stay tuned. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@cvinny82]

Which trim is this? Must have missed it.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi Chad. The top of the line Korean spec model. Thanks for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@haroldz123]

We have 1.6l NA kia seltos in Malaysia. Wrong variant bcos it so undergo

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, 1.6T is the way to go, although I haven't driven the Kia Seltos with 1.6NA. Thanks haro.

[@bigess]

Which trim did you say it was?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

The top trim, it's called signature here in Korea. Thank you for enjoying our Kia Seltos review.

[@zeanpoll]

Nice upgrade from Kia and nice presentation

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thank you zeanpoll for enjoying the Kia Seltos review!

[@clcbc97]

Looking at trading in my 2020 Kia Soul GT line for a Seltos EX model. Kia will by my soul for $15,000 which is what i owe. Seen a few of these on the road but not as many as the Sportage and Telluride.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, Kia Sportage is a lot bigger SUV, but if you don't want large SUV, better efficient one, then go with Kia Seltos!

[@missemarko]

Which model is this?

[@AsianPetrolhead]

It is called signature trim, the top of the line here in Korea. Thanks Emily for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@robertfell1787]

Turbo only no turbo no power. But does come with everything

[@AsianPetrolhead]

This Kia Seltos come swiith 1.6 Turbo that pulls quite nicely. Thank you for enjoying the 2022 Kia Seltos review.

[@genelew6631]

I like the refresh Charlie.

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, basically new Kia Seltos with new Kia logo, so just wanted to share it, though. Thanks gene.

[@bearhunter5749]

You can’t compare seltos to sportage? You can’t tow anything with seltos but you can tow almost 2,000lbs with sportage!!

[@sabrinatatalias4277]

The seltos tows up to 2000 lbs

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Yes, I know Kia Sportage is big brother. But I have been getting lots of questions about it. So, that's is why i mentioned about it. Thank you for enjoying the new Kia Seltos review.

[@deziree_0000]

First of all may I ask how tall are you? damn you making that car look like a toy

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Hi, D1stress. I am about 6.2. Thank you for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

[@RIZFERD]

Yes, with Bio-diesel, plant based oil much better than electric vehicle which isn't eco-friendly at all with those batteries production and stuff. Both KIA Diesel and Bio-diesel Oil are Made in Indonesia. Much better than pretentious Mercedes Benz, BMW, Audi, and all western brands, Europeans/Westerns don't know real quality real luxury but only Asia ;)

[@bruced4048]

Very impressive 😊🇺🇸

[@AsianPetrolhead]

Thanks Bruce for enjoying the Kia Seltos review.

Yes, Robert. We are going to be driving slower for our 2nd season. So, stay tuned. Thank you for enjoying our 2022 Kia Seltos review.
