Is the 2022 Kia Seltos a good car?
Yes — the 2022 Kia Seltos earns a 4.83/5 user rating and a 7.5/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Safety at 9/10.
Owners consistently praise its comfort, smooth ride, and impressive fuel economy, while also liking the advanced features and easy handling. The Seltos also stands out for its spacious cabin and easy-to-use technology, which fit well if you want a practical, user-friendly small crossover. On the downside, the transmission can be irritating, the interior materials feel cheap, and it can be noisy, so it is best if you value everyday usability more than polish. With a strong ownership proposition and a good warranty, it suits you well if you want a sensible small SUV rather than a flashy one.
There are 30.6% good or great deals in the market, which is a healthy sign of shopping opportunity.
Is the 2022 Kia Seltos reliable?
Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owners describe it as dependable, comfortable, and trouble-free in everyday use, with strong confidence in its long-term ownership appeal. The Seltos also comes across as a vehicle you can count on for smooth commuting and solid fuel economy. Kia’s warranty coverage adds to the ownership case, and the model’s good value proposition helps reduce worry about early-life repair exposure. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is more about refinement and drivability than durability.
What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Seltos?
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The LX is the only trim without standard all-wheel drive, while the EX, EX Premium, and SX add more equipment and capability. The base trim is the one most likely to feel light on features compared with the higher grades.
- Powertrain: The LX, EX, and EX Premium use a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with a CVT, while the SX upgrades to a turbocharged 1.6-litre four-cylinder with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The turbo setup is more satisfying, but the CVT and DCT each have their own quirks.
- Safety package: Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard, while the EX adds forward-collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centring assist. Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and Highway Driving Assist are reserved for the SX.
- Infotainment: Lower trims get an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless smartphone connectivity, while the EX Premium brings in the 10.25-inch system. The larger system adds Bluetooth for two devices, navigation, connected services, satellite radio, and a six-speaker stereo, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a cable.
- Fuel efficiency: The SX is rated at 8.7 litres per 100 kilometres in combined driving.
Which 2022 Kia Seltos trim should I buy?
The 2022 Kia Seltos is offered in 4 trim levels: LX, EX, EX Premium, and SX.
Here's the short version:
- LX: This is the entry point, and it makes the Seltos accessible if you want the basics and are comfortable with fewer standard features. It is also the only trim offered with front-wheel drive, so it suits you best if price matters most.
- EX: This is the best-value trim for many shoppers because it adds the key safety upgrades, standard all-wheel drive, and a more complete feature set without jumping to the top price tier.
- EX Premium: This trim is the one to target if you want the larger 10.25-inch infotainment system and a more upscale tech experience. It is the best fit if you care most about convenience and cabin equipment.
- SX: This is the choice if you want the turbocharged engine, the more engaging DCT, and the most advanced driver-assistance features, including adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and Highway Driving Assist.
The EX Premium is the first trim with the upgraded 10.25-inch touchscreen, while the SX adds the most advanced safety and convenience features.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Seltos?
This is a moderate market for selective buyers, so you can shop with some leverage if you compare listings carefully.
- Deal availability: 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 520 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 13.63% compared with last year.
If you find a listing below $21,414 CAD, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2022 Kia Seltos's resale value?
The current average of $21,414 CAD sits slightly below last year's $24,794 CAD.
That softer pricing suggests the Seltos has become more attractive to used buyers, which can help keep demand steady. For a future seller, that means you may need to price competitively if the market stays well supplied. The good news is that the model’s practical strengths and broad appeal should help support interest over time.
Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.83/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2022 Kia Seltos safe?
The 2022 Kia Seltos SX earns a Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS, and the Seltos earns an overall four-star rating from NHTSA.
It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.
Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard, and from the EX trim you also get forward-collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centring assist. The SX adds adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and Highway Driving Assist. The lane-centring assist system was described as accurate and refined, which is a meaningful plus if you want driver assistance that feels natural to use. One caveat is that the IIHS Top Safety Pick result applies to the SX, while other versions do not qualify because of inferior headlight performance.
Should I buy a 2022 Kia Seltos or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2022 if:
- 30.6% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 13.63% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.83/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- It combines a spacious cabin, easy-to-use technology, and strong safety equipment.
Consider the 2021 if:
- At $19,528 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $21,414 CAD average.
- It offers a high-quality cabin with strong space and useful everyday practicality.
The bottom line: If you want the better-balanced buy, the 2022 is the stronger pick because it pairs solid value with strong owner satisfaction and a broad feature set. If your priority is saving money upfront, the 2021 is the sensible alternative, especially if you can find one with the equipment you want.
