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

Best buy

Best car of this segment. Lovely look from out side as well as nice interiors. Value for money car. I drove my Grand Vitara Sigma for 100 km on highway with 27.1 Km/l. I was completely surprised to see the performance. My car's first service has been done with 'zero' expanse. Loved the service of Maruti Suzuki. One bad thing i faced that in Sigma variant the back camera fitting was not proper. Over-all best buy.
