Greetings. My wife and I are hopefully going to order a new '22 Seltos LX AWD later this week. I posted an intro on the New Members page if you want more details.
The local dealer (where I used to work as webmaster and vehicle photographer) does not have an LX Seltos to look at, so I've done all of my research online. The salesman was very helpful and showed us his personal SX Turbo AWD, but I didn't even bother driving it since it's a completely different drivetrain. There are a couple of questions about small details that I could not find answers to. So, I'm reaching out to you all.
Please note I am looking at the '22 Seltos LX AWD, so information on other levels may/may not be relevant.
1) I read where the lower models have a center armrest that is hard plastic and uncomfortable. A) Are the armrests on the front doors padded, or also hard plastic. B) I also read where someone bought a slip-on padded armrest cover on Amazon or eBay. Any info on that?
2) The IIHS and some online reviews don't like the halogen projector headlights. They look similar to the halogen projectors on our '20 Soul LX and I am pleased with them. We have LED headlights on our soon-to-be-traded-in '19 Subaru Forester and I hate them. Nice and bright up to about 3 feet off the ground and then it's like someone pulled a black blanket down over the top of the windshield. It's a razor-sharp cutoff between light and dark. QUESTION: I see there are optional $300 Fog Lights on the Build form. It appears they are not LED, but maybe I'm wrong. Does anyone have these, and could you please tell me if A) can they be turned on and off separately or do they go on/off with the headlights, and B) are they any help to the standard headlights?
3) What brand/model of tires are on the base with 215/55R17-inch tires. I could see Kumho on the photos, but not the type of tire.
Thank you.
You are better off with the SX. Less computer problems
