The three Seltos engines
The 1.5 litre petrol is the sensible base, offered with a manual or a smooth IVT automatic. The 1.5 litre turbo petrol makes 158 bhp and turns the Seltos into a quick SUV. It comes with a 7 speed DCT. The 1.5 litre diesel suits high mileage owners, with a manual or a torque converter automatic.
Reading the Seltos trim ladder
HTE and HTK grades cover the affordable half of the range, and the HTK (O) is where the panoramic sunroof arrives. The HTX adds the 12.3 inch screen, dual zone climate control and ventilated front seats. Pick an (A) version of the HTX or GTX to get Level 2 ADAS and a 360 degree camera, while the GTX (O) and X-Line (O) step up to Level 2+ ADAS. See how equipment climbs across the Seltos trims to spot the right grade.
Seltos prices from base to top
The range spreads from the HTE Petrol at ₹11.24 Lakh to the GTX (O) and X-Line (O) diesel automatics at ₹21.81 Lakh ex-showroom. Turbo and diesel automatics push toward the upper end. A petrol manual and a turbo DCT can feel like different cars at similar money. Pin down your city's price.
