Memory That Remembers Your Perfect Position

The driver's seat memory function takes the guesswork out of getting comfortable. This system stores your preferred seat position, automatically adjusting when you start the vehicle. The feature proves especially valuable for families who share vehicles or drivers who frequently adjust their seating for different driving conditions.

The memory system works seamlessly with the Seltos' power-adjustable driver's seat and lumbar support, creating a personalized driving environment every time you get behind the wheel.

Rear Passenger Luxury

Heated rear seats extend comfort beyond the front row. This feature ensures all passengers stay warm during Ontario winters, turning the back seat into a cozy retreat rather than an afterthought. The heating elements warm quickly and distribute heat evenly across the seat surface.

Most compact SUVs reserve heated seating for the driver and front passenger only. The Seltos' approach shows genuine consideration for rear passengers, making longer trips more enjoyable for everyone.

Active Front Seat Cooling


Air-cooled front seats provide relief during hot summer months. Rather than simply ventilating, these seats actively draw air through the seat surface, creating a cooling effect that works even in stop-and-go traffic. The system operates quietly and can be adjusted to different intensity levels.

This cooling technology pairs with the Seltos' automatic climate control to maintain comfortable cabin temperatures regardless of external conditions.

Sofino Leather Interior Sophistication

Sofino leather seating elevates the Seltos interior with a premium look and feel. This synthetic leather material offers the appearance and texture of genuine leather while providing easier maintenance and greater durability. The material resists wear and cleaning challenges that come with daily use.

Available in multiple colour combinations, Sofino leather coordinates with interior trim elements to create a cohesive, upscale cabin environment.

Sport-Inspired Steering Control

The SX trim's D-shaped sport steering wheel provides enhanced grip and control. This design, borrowed from performance vehicles, offers better hand positioning during spirited driving while maintaining comfort for daily use. The flattened bottom section also provides additional legroom when entering and exiting the vehicle.

The steering wheel integrates seamlessly with the Seltos' other performance-oriented features, including the 1.6L turbo engine and 8-speed automatic transmission.
