How much does the 2022 Kia Seltos cost?

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, and they also like the advanced features and easy handling. In practical terms, that lines up well with its spacious cabin, easy-to-use technology, and strong ownership proposition. The main trade-offs are the irritating transmission and the noisy cabin, along with interior materials that can feel cheap.

With a moderate market verdict and a practical small-crossover mission, it suits you best if you want a user-friendly SUV with strong everyday value. Good and great deals account for 30.0% of listings, which gives you some room to shop selectively.

Is the 2022 Kia Seltos reliable?

Owners rate it 4.83/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

Owner feedback points to a vehicle that feels comfortable, smooth, and dependable for everyday use, with many shoppers describing it as a model they can count on. The expert assessment also supports that impression by highlighting a strong ownership proposition and a great warranty.

Kia’s warranty coverage adds peace of mind for used buyers, but you should still pay close attention to service history and how the transmission behaves on a test drive. For a used purchase, the main long-term ownership risk is whether the drivetrain quirks and cabin noise will bother you over time.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Kia Seltos?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The base LX is the only trim without standard all-wheel drive, while EX, EX Premium, and SX add more equipment and capability. The EX Premium also gets upgraded headlights, and the SX is the most fully equipped version.
• 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 engaging, but the CVT is the simpler base choice.
• Safety package: Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard. From the EX, 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.
• Infotainment: The standard 8-inch touchscreen includes wireless smartphone connectivity. The 10.25-inch system starts on the EX Premium and adds features such as navigation, connected services, satellite radio, Bluetooth for two devices, and a six-speaker stereo. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a cable on the larger system.
• 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 if you want the lowest-cost way into the Seltos, but it is also the only trim without standard AWD. It makes sense if you want the basics and are comfortable keeping equipment expectations modest.
• EX: This is the trim that adds the most important safety upgrades, including forward-collision avoidance, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and lane-centring assist. It is the best-value choice for many shoppers because it brings a major jump in safety equipment without going all the way to the top trim.
• EX Premium: This is the trim to target if you want the larger 10.25-inch infotainment system, plus the upgraded headlights that help it qualify for stronger crash-test recognition. It is the sweet spot if technology matters most.
• SX: This is the most powerful and most feature-rich version, with the turbocharged engine, seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, Bose premium sound system, adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go, and Highway Driving Assist. Choose it if you want the most complete Seltos experience.

The EX Premium is the trim with the upgraded headlights tied to the stronger safety recognition.

Is now a good time to buy a used 2022 Kia Seltos?

This looks like a moderate market for selective buyers, with enough inventory to compare options and some room to negotiate.

• Deal availability: 30.0% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Inventory: There are 523 listings available.
• Price trend: Prices have softened 13.63% compared with last year.

If you find a listing below $21,519 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 $21,519 CAD sits slightly below last year's $24,916 CAD.

That decline suggests the market has become more buyer-friendly, which can put pressure on future resale values if supply stays healthy. For a seller, it means you may need to price competitively to stand out, especially if your vehicle has average mileage or incomplete service records. On the other hand, the model’s strong owner satisfaction and practical appeal should help support demand 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 a four-star overall rating from NHTSA, with a four-star performance in the front-passenger frontal-impact crash test.

It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.

Kia equips the Seltos with blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, rear occupant alert, and Safe Exit Assist as standard safety technology. 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 capability and Highway Driving Assist.

One important caveat is that the upgraded headlights are tied to the EX Premium and SX, while other versions do not qualify for the same IIHS recognition 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:

• 30.0% 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.
• The 2022 brings a strong ownership proposition, with a spacious cabin, easy-to-use technology, and a great warranty.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $19,407 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $21,519 CAD average.
• It offers a high-quality cabin, refined driving dynamics, and plenty of cabin and cargo space.

The bottom line: If you want the better all-around used buy, the 2022 is the stronger choice because it combines solid pricing, strong owner satisfaction, and a well-rounded feature set. If your priority is spending less up front, the 2021 is worth a look, especially if you value space and refinement over newer-market pricing.
