Thanks for your reviews on the Seltos SX. Recently, on a whim, and because of the color, my wife gifted me one. I feel so humbled and blessed. I absolutely love this car. I think it is awesome. I am a Kia fan now.

I'm really starting to like this car. I probably may never take this offroad, but definitely appreciate you guys showing what this is capable of. My drives are all city driving, but there are a few spots within the city where there are gravel roads with ruts and bumps and so forth where my passenger sedan (Honda Civic) got beaten up a little bit. So it's nice to know this KIA would have no problem on those gravel roads.

I drive my new Seltos on gravel roads about 3 times a week. Some of the roads are pretty steep and rutted out. Does just fine. Also drive it in snow and ice and with snow tires nothing seems to slow it down. Snowed over 2 feet in one night a week ago and was out on the roads before the snowplows the next morning and didn't have an issue. Very happy with the car so far.

My wife and I just got one and I am wanting to put a 2 inch lift on it with some K04s I think alot of the slipping was from the tires they put on these things which are great for the road. haven't tested it in snow yet but sometimes i feel like OEM tires are like printer cartriges in a new printer.

My 2021 Kona (which has a regular 6 speed with torque converter) would have had an easier time. But that's cause of slightly oversize snow tires.Seems like the soul from original Kona has been passed on to Seltos.

Do you want to get the best results in Hyundai/Kia AWD test? 1. Do not turn off traction control. 2. Use center lock and normal/snow mode.

Usually yes, especially the center diff lock. Which is why we test these systems on the hill test. Thanks for watching!

Off-road tests and comparison tests are so dependent on the tyres chosen by the manufacturer that the results become pointless. Good try though guys.
@TexasTruckChannel Жыл бұрын
That’s absolutely correct, and tires are a huge component to off road ability, followed by traction systems, mechanical grip, etc etc. This is why we test them all as they come to us.
