Of course, once you’ve decided to buy a Kia Seltos, there’s another decision to make. Which trim package is best for your wants and needs? And, really, that’s two decisions. Your “wants” may be things like how your Seltos looks and the attention it gets when you arrive at your next get-together with family or friends! Your “needs” could be features you require based on how you’ll use the vehicle.
So, it’s important to learn about the available Seltos trim packages as you do your research.
5 Fantastic Kia Seltos Trim Packages
Before describing the five available trim packages for Kia Seltos, we should explain what a trim level is for those unfamiliar with the term. When used with vehicles, “trim” refers to different sets of features. It may be paired with “package,” “level,” or other descriptors or simply used by itself. But a vehicle’s trim is basically just shorthand for a group of features.
Vehicle trim levels may increase in the number of features and the associated price (from the basic trim package up to more premium levels), but that’s not always the case. So, you should learn what’s in each before you make your purchase decision.
The Kia Seltos has five trim packages: LX, S, Nightfall Edition, EX, and SX Turbo. Keep reading for an overview of the features of each.
Kia Seltos LX Features
The LX trim package offers a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine with 146hp and 132 lb.-ft. of torque and all-wheel drive. It also has excellent safety features like Auto Emergency Braking Technology and Lane Following Assist. In addition, you’ll enjoy the 8-inch touchscreen display, remote keyless entry, and Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™. The list of features goes on, but those are some of the highlights.
Kia Selto S Features
Choose a Kia Seltos S, and you’ll get several features on top of those in the LX. They include Blind Spot Detection Technology, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert and Avoidance, automatic climate control, leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift selector, roof rails, and more. Here again, you’ll want to check out the complete list of features, but these give you a taste of what you’ll get in the S trim package.
Kia Seltos Nightfall Edition Features
