In the US market, only the SX. Lower trims, including the Nightfall have LED day-time running lamps, but Halogen headlights.
In the Canadian market, in case anyone from this market is interested, we have the EX Premium and SX that have LED headlights. LX and EX trims get Halogen.
In Austrailia, The GT-Line trims have LED, while everything below is Halogen.

On a side note...anyone else having issues accessing the Kia Canada site right now?...just comes up with a blank page for me at the moment. Firefox and Safari...
You can get the black roof in the USA (we don't get the two tone up here), but the black wheels are only on the nightfall edition.
Both are turbo, I think you would be better off overall with the SX as it has more features (power seats, heated seats, auto dim mirror, etc) and the factory LED headlights are better than what you would get with just a bulb switch. Blacking out paint and trim is easy.
Interesting that they make you guys pay for a sunroof addition...that's standard on our EX and up. We also have ventilated seats on our SX which you guys don't seem to get.

Pretty sure the SX has body colour handles...
EDIT: sorry, I guess they're silver...but not chrome...should look decent against the white
Looks like the nightfall does body colour handles, but again...it's pretty easy to do a wrap or paint the handles.

I'm with you guys on the body color handles. I remember a day when color-matched door handles were a premium option. Now it's the reverse. The only thing about the brushed handles is I suspect there will be less 'visible' wear on them come year 7-10.
For twenty bucks you can get covers for the handles from Alibaba/Wish type sites which stick on with two-sided tape. Ghetto but if you're desperate for white handles that's a workaround.

Just to show how unimportant this issue is, I had to go out and check what my doorhandles were. Before I went out, I was thinking body colour - bit guess what..? 😬
LOL...was my first thought as well...
Just so you're aware, the SX comes with different wheels than the rest of the Seltos trims too. Not blacked out, but I think they look quite a bit better.
The LED headlights in the SX look great. Very happy with how they perform and how they look.
If you choose to go with he Nightfall edition, I think you're boxed into a corner on color combinations. Maybe someone else can chime in, but I think you're stuck with the plum colored interior? Seems like a love it or hate it color. Just a heads up.
SAME! I read the post, then immediately checked mine.
To be honest I have a bone to pick with Kia over the SX wheels. They have a 'feature' which sticks out half an inch from the edge of the actual rim. Perfect for scuffing on those high curbs. They extrude beyond your typical tires rim guard and don't need to. 1 mm extrusion would have been plenty for the 'visual effect'.
