Most Helpful Review

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

Performance is good

Well, I bought this car for its comfortable ride quality and amazing looks. Performance is good. The customer support and service cost is too much. Also, Jeep must work on their relationship-building skills and customer service else they have not learned from the mistakes of Fiat and Ford.
