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

Great SUV and Great service, almost on Toyota level

Amazing car with amazing boxy design with style moreover space management is cherry on the top, fit and finish , paint quality, body shell all are great in this price, Fuel efficiency of petrol manual is 8-10 in city and 12-13 on highways, that is decent in such a big car, But the power is good to cruze and feeling of safety is great, little body roll above 140km/h turns, but who do that. Customer grievances gets faster resolution, which is the Best point of every Good company.
