Which engine should I choose for the 2022 Kia Seltos in Canada: the 2.0L or the 1.6T?
The 2022 Kia Seltos was offered with two engines in Canada: the 2.0L naturally aspirated four-cylinder producing 146 hp (LX and EX front-wheel-drive trims) and the 1.6L turbocharged four-cylinder producing 175 hp (EX+ AWD, SX, and SX Turbo AWD trims). The 1.6T paired with the 7-speed dual-clutch transmission offers better passing performance on highways, but the DCT can feel jerky at low speeds in stop-and-go traffic. The 2.0L with CVT is smoother in urban driving and less expensive to maintain. For Canadian families living in snowy regions, the Seltos 1.6T AWD at approximately $32,995 is the logical choice. The 2.0L FWD is better suited to regions with milder winters.
