In terms of sales, the Kia Seltos compact crossover performed well right out of the gate.

For the 2022 model year, it is set to be even better than before, with Kia deciding to deliver a number of improvements, including more standard safety equipment across the entire lineup.

All trim levels, other than the base LX model, now come with remote start, UVO connectivity, auto climate control, and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen.

2022 Nightfall Edition trim level

Besides the new features, we will also see the Seltos Turbo Nightfall Edition trim level included as part of the 2022 lineup.

The addition of some great looking exterior accessories is part of what makes the Nightfall so special.

The special edition model comes equipped with a black finish signature grille, roof rack rails as standard, black exterior accent, a sporty door addition, and the all-new Kia logo. Also included are 18-inch alloy wheels with a sleek matte black finish.

Much like on the Telluride, the largest SUV in the Kia lineup, the look of the 2022 Seltos is enhanced in the Nightfall Edition.

Kia first used the blacked-out look in the US with the Telluride and it proved to be a very big hit with consumers. We have since seen the Sorento and Sportage crossover models get a similar look, and we have to say that it looks just as good on the Seltos.

While much of the focus in on the black exterior, the Nightfall Edition also comes with some additional safety features. These include lane keep and lane following technology, blind spot detection, and auto emergency braking.

These are in addition to the impressive list if features that already come with this great looking crossover.

A wide
selection of exterior colors is also sure to be a big selling point with the
Seltos Nightfall Edition. There are no less than 6 single tone colors to choose

2022 Kia Seltos Nightfall Edition MSRP

Kia is
known for delivering a lot of car for a relatively small amount of money, which
carries over into the 2022 Seltos Nightfall edition, which is available
starting at $26,690 (excluding destination charge of $1,175).

Conclusion

There are a lot of things to like about the 2022 Kia Seltos Nightfall Edition, not least of which is the affordable starting price.

It’s a tremendous value proposition, not to mention the least expensive way to get into a Seltos crossover with the turbo engine mentioned earlier.

This vehicle looks set to be another sales success for the South Korean automaker.
