LOL,,,,yeah I had seen that before. Talk about turning on a dime! Maybe the large discs are their version of "run flat" tires ? That list has been out awhile and they still haven't corrected it.this is from the US Kia media site, which has all the details on the Seltos except the pricing structure, which shows someone is not paying attention to what they are typing or editing.

- so that means the Seltos can turn in a tighter turning circle than I can with my e-bike - amazing how a 14.4' vehicle can do a 5.3' turning circle
- the disc brakes are nearly as large as the wheels themselves. even the massive Telluride doesn't use disc brakes this large (13.4" front and 12" rear)
Model | Price |
LX AWD | $21,990 |
S FWD | $21,990 |
S AWD | $23,490 |
EX AWD | $25,290 |
S 1.6L Turbo | $25,490 |
SX 1.6L Turbo | $27,890 |
I think you a bit off the mark with that, you need to double that figure of 17.4 would give you a 34.8" turning circle which would make much more sense.(that would make it the same turning circle as the Soul).I figured out the errors in the specifications list. The "5.3 ft." is actually meters, so really a 17.4 ft. turning circle. (Very good!).
The disc brake size listed as "16 in." is actually centimeters. So 6.3 inches.

Oh yeah.....lol. I was only looking at the turning circle.still doesn't look right on the disc size, how can you have a brake disc that is nearly the size of the rim itself (16" disc on a 17" rim!!!!!!!!!!!)? Can some one educate me, as it's totally lost me - am I missing something? ?
The Telluride which is around 1000 lbs heavier or more has disc brakes of front: 13.4" and rear 12" and it has 18" and 20" rims.
I can't compare it to Kia Canada as they have not released the full specs yet.
