Used 2022 Kia Seltos SX 4dr SUV AWD (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM) Consumer Reviews
Dashboard goes blank
I purchased my 2022 Kia Seltos in November of 2021. I didn’t have any issues until recently. I was casually driving in mid-day traffic and all of a sudden my dashboard goes completely blank as if I had turned the car off. A few seconds later the dashboard illuminated all the caution signs. The check engine, check oil, transmission light, windshield fluid light just to name a few. the speedometer and RPM all disappeared. Before this issue, my radio display went blank and would not come on. I had to park the car, turn it off and crank it back up in order to listen to my radio. For this car to be brand spanking new, it’s having some huge issues already.
Initial elation turned to disappointment.
I leased a 2022 Kia Seltos SX Turbo AWD on June 10, 2022. On day 6 I experienced an instrument cluster fault. Very strange. When I engaged the navigation the entire dashboard began to turn on and off. Empty on the fuel gauge, zero on the speedometer and tachometer. I brought it in and after almost 3 weeks I have no definitive date as to when the ordered part, mew instrument cluster, will even be shipped from South Korea, much less arrive. I absolutely love this vehicle, well, a little small maybe, but a real compact beauty of an SUV... great settling... and it's a got a nice kick for such a small engine. Anyways, hoping this gets fixed asap but I heard from a mechanic that this is a known problem that has something to do with humidity getting into the cluster module. July 22,... still no word. ☹️

Best of both worlds!
So far I am enjoying my Seltos SX. It is pretty speedy so be careful how fast you can easily go. The touch screen is easy to use once you get the hang of it and gas mileage isn’t bad. My model came with lots of features and Kia’s have great warranty’s. The seat material is very interesting but a little hard to describe. I do feel like it will last and is easy to take care of. I feel the Seltos is fairly fun to drive and has a good entertainment system. A good fit for garaging. Take a test drive and see what you think.

Mini SUV
Looking to replace our Sante Fe with something a little bit smaller. Dealer suggested a Seltos, compared it to a Hyundai Tucson. Not even close. Very tiny, narrow, and underpowered. We test-drove a turbo. Not for us.
Great Little SUV!!
This vehicle is amazing! A great value for all the options and features it has. Drives smoothly. The features are truly unbelievable for such a fairly priced vehicle. After a good six months, the only downside we've really found is that the battery is not built for extreme cold and even on a brand new car, will not function in extreme cold.
