    Opinion seltos 

    I own seltos petrol.As per my opinion seltos is the best badass in suv segment i purchase seltos in 2021 and till now i have no issues in my car, Mileage is reached 20 if you driven car in softing way your car on highway, Otherwise in city 10-11km/litre, Build quality has little issue, Body is not as expected otherwise although i have never touched my car in 3 years, My car have one hand always so driven is very soft and no issue.At last i say this is must buying car if you compromise with bulid quality.And driven softly, Otherwise you enjoy very much.Lovely car 🚗❣️.
