Key Specifications

• Powertrain: The entry LX 1.5L (Base) runs a naturally aspirated 1.5 L petrol engine producing 115 bhp, mated to an Automatic gearbox — suited to everyday urban and highway driving with a focus on economy. The top-spec SX 1.4L Turbo (Top) steps up to a 1.4-litre turbocharged unit with meaningfully more performance, alongside additional comfort and technology features that justify the price premium for buyers who plan to keep the car long-term. Both trims are competitive on running costs, making them manageable despite rising fuel awareness among Saudi buyers.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: the Seltos offers an unusually refined interior experience for a compact crossover at this price, with quality materials and intuitive technology. The broad trim spread means buyers can right-size their spend without compromising on core features.
• Cons: the base engine, while adequate, feels underpowered when the car is loaded or climbing grades — buyers who regularly carry full passenger loads may find the turbo trim worth the upgrade. Rear headroom can feel tight for taller passengers on longer journeys.Buyers also consider the Seltos in Saudi Arabia often also consider the Toyota Fortuner, Hyundai Santa Fe, and Kia Sorento. The Fortuner holds strong appeal for buyers prioritising off-road ability and brand resale confidence, while the Santa Fe and Sorento suit those wanting more interior space — the Seltos wins on urban agility and entry price.
