The Seltos offers sophisticated exterior design details, such as its long hood, a strong, character line on the front bumper, and sharp lines pressed into the bodywork. Its robust shoulder line, matched with a glasshouse which tapers towards the rear of the car, as well as a rear bumper with a metallic muffler effect, lends this Crossover an air of understated sportiness.
Aimed at youthful, tech-savvy buyers, the cabin is characterized by broad, sweeping shapes and highly technical details.
