The Car Guide rating 82%(view ratings)
A classic case of the right product arriving at the right time, the all-new Seltos blurs the line between sub-compact and compact SUVs. The naturally aspirated 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine included as standard equipment can be replaced by a punchy 1.6-litre turbo option. Driving dynamics are solid for the segment, boosting the level of confidence behind the wheel. What’s more, the modern and nicely finished interior can comfortably accommodate four adults.
