CarTell take
We haven't driven the Seltos yet. On paper, compare run-out petrol Seltos deals if you mostly drive short trips. The S with Safety Pack is worth the $2,160 step for the added driver aids.
Why consider it
- Every grade is now a 1.6 hybrid, from $39,990 drive-away, and it still undercuts the Toyota Corolla Cross and Hyundai Kona hybrids.
- The GT-Line adds e-AWD, rare in this class, and the 7-year warranty beats most rivals.
What to know
- The entry price is about $6,700 dearer than the petrol Seltos it replaces, and AWD is only on the $52,870 GT-Line.
- The new generation has no ANCAP rating yet.
