Always enjoying delivering on innovation and vehicles loaded with tech features that are great to drive, we have had plenty to be excited about regarding this new year's selection of models here at Jim Butler Kia of St Louis. The rugged-looking and sharp-handling Seltos is based on the same platform as the Hyundai Kona but is offered with a bit taller ride height, a roomier cabin, and a greater array of technology features. It is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder and a turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder, in either front or all-wheel drive.
Here are a few traits to consider that the new Seltos comes in swinging with, leveraging itself as a stellar choice for any business or family with a need for a diverse and well-performing SUV!
The Newly-Designed Logo: The new logo debuted early this year, and will enjoy placement on the wheel hub caps, tailgate, steering wheel, and grille. Proudly conveying “movement that inspires” and our beloved brand's entirely new strategy, this new logo will be present on numerous new electric cars arriving in the years to come.
New Paddle Shifters are available in the top-spec GTX model, offering up a distinct and exciting means of engaging every superbly-performing gear onboard. Having the option to shift right on the steering wheel allows you to focus on other important aspects of the drive, such as how much of your latte is left in your cup!
Additional Features on Select Trims: The HTK trim will now offer Android Auto And Apple CarPlay connectivity, and the HTK + trim will feature remote engine start, automatic climate control, and an electric sunroof. Enjoying your tunes as well as an abundant intake of vitamin D will be a snap!
Essential Air Purification: Airborne particles have most certainly made their invasive way into many headlines and driver's lives last year! The Smart Air Purifier now on board of the Seltos provides virus and bacteria protection, allowing you to feel safe and sound during every trip while protecting those you love most.
Advanced Voice Control: UVO is our brand's unique and timely solution that integrates the smartphone with the car's onboard infotainment system. Once activated, you can make hands-free calls, stream music, and use navigation services by simply speaking while you drive. There are now exclusive updates for other tasks for honing in and adjusting the wind direction, air intake, defrost controls, driver-side window, and sunroof.
Upgraded Features to Keep You Safe: These conveniences of modern car offerings are what many customers are constantly asking us about: there is nothing quite like the peace of mind that comes from knowing you have watchful eyes and electronic ears on your side for protection. This year's Seltos comes equipped with vehicle stability management, brake assist, and electronic stability control.
