Most Helpful Review

Futures and aut look very interesting

Nice car looks very stylish, new generation car, good space, ground clearance is best old seltos to very different advanced safety features has this car interior and out look so dashing, affordable price.

Detailed review after a year.

Great buying experience in Delhi. The car is driver-friendly with plenty of features even in the base model. Best fuel efficiency (15-16 km/l) achieved by driving at 80-90 km/h with 2000-2400 RPM. Value for money, but service centers in tier-3 cities need improvement. Driven 8000 km, detailed review after a year.

Good car must suggest by me

This is a very good car. If you are thinking of buying a car then do a test drive of this car once, you will know how good this car is. All-rounder and its features are also very good. This car also looks smart.
