I have a GTX+ 6AT D. We were on a long road trip and the AC was set at 23.5 C. After almost 6 hrs into the drive, the rear AC started blowing hot air and the occupants complained of suffocation. The fronts where normal and were chill.

I see that, there are similar posts in the forum with no solution right from 2020. Is KIA still not able to find the solution for this?

Did the AC run non-stop for 6 hours? Or very minimal breaks?
Could be due to ice formation in the duct to rear vents!
Usually when this happens, switch off AC and run in fresh air mode (to prevent suffocation). If this isn't possible, take a food/bio/fuel break for 10-15 minutes. See if the AC starts functioning properly again after the break.
If this fails, then you can possibly rule out ice formation and go to an AC mechanic for diagnosis. Good luck.

I have the 2022 GTX+ D AT and have driven it for more than 37k kms until now. Last week, while driving on state highway in Karnataka for a relaxed drive of 70+ Kms the MID display showed insane mileage of 52.1km/l
Of course it can't be true, has anyone observed similar thing?

Is this compatible with rear wiper?

Hey Guys, just wanted to check, I have Seltos D 2022MY. Recently the ECU was given a software update. The update had something to do with DPF. Below is a snapshot of the update,

Post the update I noticed a slight improvement in the mileage. I recently did a BLR-Shirdi-Ellora-BLR & noticed the car averaging between 19.5 to 21. Hadn’t experienced it before. Have any of u got this update & if so have u noticed anything different either performance wise or efficiency wise?

I am also having D AT 2022MY and received the same update on 2nd week of December. I observed that there is slight hesitation from the gearbox in shifting to lower gear from a higher gear while giving the throttle.
Regarding mileage, haven't taken on the highway to test it out after the update. It is still showing the same mileage while driving in bumper to bumper Bangalore traffic though.

But did u notice any change in the regeneration cycle? Were u given any info on what the update was for.?

Caught this Kia testing at 11PM in the night at near Kia factory doing 120Kmph+. Is this Seltos facelift?

- The Car is fairly quick & smooth to drive. The 7 Speed DCT clutch and its stories got me very worried but happy to report a trouble free 3 month ownership experience with fantastic drive experience & mileage.
- My primarily usage has been in the city (Delhi-NCR) with frequent airport runs & also one outstation drive to Pushkar (nearly 450+ kms from Gurgaon)
- Overall Fuel efficiency has been ~16 km/L and has gone upto 19 km/L during the highway runs. I put my Seltos in the ECO mode when i am in bumper to bumper traffic in the city but in my opinion the NORMAL mode is the best where it gives the ideal performance & fuel efficiency.
- The DCT has been absolutely GEM to use so far with no overheating kind of situations & is butter smooth.
- I am an enthusiast who loves to rev the car hard but also on the other side i am very particular about my fuel efficiency. The overall numbers have been attained with Top Speed limited to 100 kmph & driving in general with a light foot.

Attaching a very recent trip to the airport from my home in Gurgaon during the peak hours & was my self stunned by the FE figures.
Absolutely loving the Seltos & i am super happy with my decision.

20k Km update on My 2022 Kia Seltos 1.4T DCT
It has been 2 years since i got Dracarys (pre facelift 1.4T DCT in Black). Long story cut short, i have completed 20k kms recently with a road trip to Rajasthan (Jaisalmer, Jodhpur). The car was fully loaded with 3 adults, 2 toddlers and was in the peak winter season. Key Takeways from my ownership period

1. 22k kms is the current mileage with overall efficiency around 12-17 km/l (12-15 being in the city & 15-17 on mix of highway runs)
2. Yes DCT is jerky at low speeds but once you are past 2k RPM, its a breeze and is super fun to drive.
3. Touchwood, no heating issues with DCT whatsoever, i want to highlight that i am myself very careful with the transmission & shift it to Neutral when i am in traffic!
4. No rattles / misfits anywhere in the car
5. Only pain point with Kia is the exterior plastic claddings have started to fade away. No amount of polish has sustained it.
6. Sorely miss the wireless connectivity for Apple Car Play but the wired connection is super stable

Overall, this car puts a smile on my face whenever i drive it and not to forget, it still remains the smartest and sharpest looking crossover. I surely think about the Pano sunroof & ADAS which are absent in my model but that's for another time.

Attaching some pictures from the recent road trip to Rajasthan & the fuel economy at the end of ~2200 km road trip from Gurgaon to Jodhpur & Jaisalmer.

I asked the Service Advisor regarding the update, even they were not aware of what was the update for. They just told that it's an ECU update.
Regarding regeneration cycle, I haven't faced any issues with DPF clogging till now so can't comment on this. Touchwood!

Hi - Happy New Year to all. I am getting my Seltos 1.4 DCT (petrol) serviced from Kia. Its 3 year service. While the workshop will try and sell lot of stuff, just wanted to check what all should be focussed on. My running is quite low and I have not even covered 12k in these years so want to be extra careful since the service manual says that if the car doesn't run more than 8k in a single run, we should mention that at the time of service. I have informed Kia about it in the past as well, but they just did usual service!

Thanks in advance.
