Seltos facelift design highlights 

In terms of exterior design, the Seltos facelift gets a new face in the form of slightly revised headlamps and grille. In profile, the design for the alloy wheels has been updated while at the rear, the Seltos now gets a one-piece tail lamp that wraps around the edge. 

Inside, the biggest change is a new dashboard with a one-piece dual screen housing the new 10.1-infotainment system and HD quality digital instrument cluster.

Depending on which trim you choose, you can have your cabin in the beige, brown black, or grey colour scheme.
