The Seltos has great styling, and its bright-yellow paint option can even be had as an option on the base S trim. The Seltos' safety systems are helpful without being intrusive or annoying, it mitigates road noise well, and on the turbocharged variants, it's enjoyable to drive. Power and throttle aren't dull, and it has a heavy, sturdy steering wheel — not one that feels light or detached.
While the Seltos looks good overall, a closer inspection of some features — like the mesh grating and fake exhausts on the back, and the silver trim on the front — will make you realize they look a little cheap. One interior option on Seltos also features an abundance of sleek, glossy black accents, but they don't stay sleek. A couple of drives in the car and the grime will pile up, requiring either a lot of cleaning or a lot of unwelcome reminders of your grossness.
In pricing and features, the Seltos is in line with its competition.
