    It is powered by the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.

    At 7.5 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 23 litres of fuel. That works out to about $11.63 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

    A good match for

    It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

    Practical details

    An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.

    Rent it for a week first

    Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent the Seltos for a week and see how it fits your life.

    Choosing the right one

    Compare the EX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.

    Money matters

    At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel. A pre-purchase inspection is a small cost next to the price of the car. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting.
