    It would be a good option for hilly areas as the Seltos impressed us So much that all we could complain about was a lack of under-thigh support and the rather stiff ride quality. There are even choices galore in terms of variants, trim, and equipment levels. And more than anything its pricing makes it one of the hottest picks in the segment. The 1497 cc Petrol engine generates a power of 113.42bhp@6300rpm and torque of 144nm@4500rpm. Seltos is also equipped with features like Hill Assist. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.

    We have HTK+ variant of same engine and have driven on every type of road a normal person residing in semi urban locality will go to and encountered no issues and coming to your point on hilly regions it's great if you are moving but from stand still you will need to rev a little with good clutch coordination else car will stall and it struggles for traction if driven from standstill on slope/hill as it's only front wheel drive. if you reside in mountainous region you can opt for diesel one else if you specifically want petrol motor & if your pocket permits to shell out some 2-3 lacs more get 1.4turbo motor but then forget the efficiency. or if you are experienced driver you will manage with this too. btw great car no issues as such. and a proper head turner.

    Performance is fine, Road grip is good, But failure in fuel efficiency bumper to bumper mileage in petrol is 3 - 5 kmpl and in city 7 - 9 kmpl.This is disgusting.

  • Move ahead

    Hi, I have purchased seltos htk imt diesel, It was delivered 2 weeks back.Existing imt users, Anyone faced issues with creep/crawl/hill start assist functionality in first gear in imt gearbox, When i am stuck at traffic signals, And roads has small slopes like 5 degrees or 10 degrees, Then in first gear, The crawl/hill start assist functionality does not work as expected, My car rolls backwards slightly and i have to manually press accelerator asap to avoid further rollback.The car does not hold for 3 seconds at all, It rolls backwards as soo as i release the break.Same thing happens for reverse gear, If there is 5-10 degrees slope, Car moves forward, And i have to press accelerator asap to avoid movement ahead.Fyi, Hill assist feature working fine on steep slopes in hilly roads, Mall ramps.The car holds for 2-3 seconds and enough time to move ahead without rollback.
