All prices ex-showroom pan-India
As seen above, the newly introduced variants are both priced at Rs 21.57 lakh (ex-showroom) and sit at the top of the Seltos lineup. The added features have resulted in a price increase of Rs 1.57 lakh above the corresponding GTX(A) and X-Line(A) variants.
What’s New?
Visually, both these variants look identical to the lower GT-Line and X-Line trims of the Seltos, and the difference mainly comes down to the expanded Level 2+ ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) suite, which now adds features such as:
-
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Zone (NSSC-Z)
-
Navigation-based Smart Cruise Control-Curve (NSSC-C)
-
Highway Driving Assist (HDA)
-
Front Collision-Avoidance Assist-Lane Change Side (FCA-LS)
-
Front Collision-Avoidance Assist with Evasive Steering Assist (FCA-W/ ESA)
-
Front Collision-Avoidance Assist-Junction Crossing (FCA-JC)
-
Front Collision-Avoidance Assist-Lane Change Oncoming (FCA-LO)
Other new features include an inbuilt front and rear dashcam, head-up display, rain-sensing wipers, digital key, one-touch up/down function for all windows, air purifier and connected car technology with VR and Navigation.
Besides these, the Seltos GTX (O) and X-Line (O) trims continue with equipment such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, 10-way power-adjustable driver seat, panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless phone chargers, 8-speaker Bose sound system and dual-zone climate control.
Notably, the Seltos also recently scored 5 stars at Bharat NCAP and has become the highest-rated ICE-powered car tested by the agency.
