Concerning the base engine and AWD that comes
standard on EX and LX models, the numbers go down to 27/31/29 mpg. Taking a
close look at the S and standard on the SX, is a 175-hp, turbocharged 1.6-liter
4-cylinder that is the most engaging, but understandably weighs in at an
estimated 25/30/27 mpg. Many of the Seltos' prime competitors are typically on
the larger side, such as the Hyundai Venue, Mazda CX-30, and Nissan Rogue
Sport. These for the most part, when matched up in the MPG category, are just a
bit less favorable than the Seltos.
In terms of AWD competitors, the Subaru Crosstrek
nails down 30 mpg combined, the CX-30 boasts 27 mpg, and the Rogue Sport rings
in at 27 mpg. As far as the other competition out there such as the Hyundai
Kona and Jeep Renegade, the Seltos is pretty much tied. Its 27 mpg combined
ties the AWD Kona and beats the AWD Renegade by 1 mpg, but it should be noted
that the Seltos sports a longer wheelbase, and is 8 inches longer than the
Kona, as well as 5.4 inches longer than the Renegade. We are confident that
you'll enjoy the spacious interior, optional 10.3-infotainment screen, and very
nimble handling on the road.
The infotainment system offers navigation as well
as the capability to split the screen, so you can view directions at the same
times as tuning the radio. Depending on which model you choose, the Seltos can
be equipped with up to three USB ports, a wireless smartphone charging pad, and
even an 8-speaker Bose audio system featuring fractal-textured speaker grilles.
Key safety features on the Seltos include
available automated emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind-spot monitoring with
rear cross-traffic alert, and lane departure warning with lane-keeping assist. We are also so
very proud of our warranty coverage that is consistently hailed as the best in the industry:
