New Nightfall Edition Leads The 2022 Kia Seltos Pack In The US

Kia has made a few adjustments to the Seltos lineup for the 2022 model year, introducing more gear across the range and a new Nightfall Edition.

Priced at $26,690, excluding the $1,175 destination and handling taxes and dealer fees, the special specification of the small crossover gets a bespoke black grille, more rugged roof rails and side sills, and 18-inch matte black alloy wheels.

These add up to the already available standard features, which include an array of safety gear, such as the forward collision avoidance assist with pedestrian detection, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, driver attention warning, lane following assist, rear blind-spot collision avoidance assist and rear cross traffic alert.
