Fabulously designed car

Good one, been driving Seltos for 8 months now, very good car, driving experience is amazing even though I have a base variant car it feels like the top end, that is how it’s designed

Good, need to be best.

Nice looking and beautiful color. Headlamps is ok. Front grill gives a great look. Back is very good and sporty. Price is not in range of Indian middle class, upper can afford Exterior Nice and Interior design is very elegant. Engine noise is almost over from inside. Mileage is a issue but affordable for luxury pay.
