dry DCT will have an issue on extreme conditions because it doesn't have any cooling method other than "air". but considering Crosstek is a popular off-roader with a CVT is a testament and I don't see any issue with Seltos tracking same path as the Crosstek and as capable of light duty off-roading. cross-shopped between the two and they both line up mechanically near identical. Seltos in general much better looking and drivability is noticeably better and modern interior layouts and functions.Subaru owners are more likely to take their vehicles into more demanding situations. I don't think the CVT or DCT transmissions in the Seltos can handle anything more than a dirt road so I don't think much of an aftermarket will spring up for offroad type hardware.
Sportage will be RAV4/CR-V/CX-5 category. there are millions of pictures online of compact CUVs with offroad setup including Sportages. hack you will even see Prius lifted with spring blocks.Back to the original question. What does the Sportage offroad aftermarket look like? It's been out for quite some time and how many lifted Sportages do you see? It clearly has a better transmission for offroad than the Seltos. How about the aftermarket for the Hyundai Kona CVT?
I'll be trying to do the same and want a 2in lift as wellHas anyone here tried to throw some oversized offroad tires on their Seltos, and if so...what fit?
About to pull the trigger on a new Seltos, and hoping I’ll be able to find some decent offroad tires.
Thanks!
Truxxx.com has a 2 inch lift kit. I have it installed on my seltos atm.I'll be trying to do the same and want a 2in lift as well
Keep me informed
Thanks
