Hey all,
I'm in the market for an SX model within the next several months or so. Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed that the U.S. editions don't seem to have the same options as some of the foreign editions.
For example, a full, panoramic sunroof, black roof option (with the sunroof), choice of rims, etc.
Ultimately, I'd love the X-series or a Nightfall edition . . . but I'm tied to my timeline of having to buy before the end of this year. I know the 2022's will be out by then, but from what I've read, it doesn't sound like there will be many changes here in the U.S.

Any thoughts as to what may be to come?

Yeah, I was actually shocked that even here in Canada we got a few more features that are not available in US models. Not going to complain though 😄

Thank you!!!

A bit disappointing that they won't offer the Steel Grey or Gravity Grey with the black roof. Also, a panoramic sunroof instead of the small, front row sunroof.

At least they're making some progress with the Nightfall edition!

So to be clear, the Nightfall won’t have the sunroof as an option? Also, anyone seen a note regarding ventilated seats?

The Nightfall is below the SX. Now I though you could order a sunroof on the SX

Not fair. I wanted the Forte GT which came with cooled seats but not the Seltos. ugh. And no blacked out roof with a sun roof.

Our Seltos EX Premium came with cooled seats (Canada)

United States citizens are being discriminated against! People in India and Canada get all the goodies and all we get is a vehicle with very few. Why wouldn't you put a heated steering wheel on a Seltos in Colorado, Main, Chicago Etc? Why wouldn't you put cooled seats in a Seltos for Arizona, Texas, etc? Eith KIA is really stupid, or they don't like Americans!
