Recalls and complaints

Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. A private seller in Ontario must give you a Used Vehicle Information Package. NHTSA has 378 owner complaints on file, mostly about engine, power train and electrical system. NHTSA lists 2 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed.

Specs, explained

Its 2.0L 4-cylinder drives through an automatic (CVT). It runs on regular gas. With front-wheel drive, the weight of the engine sits over the driven wheels, which helps in winter.

Fuel use is rated 7.5 L/100 km combined, so 300 km needs about 23 litres. Per 100 km, plan on roughly $11.63. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles.

Space, size and seats

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

Is it right for your trip?

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month.

Drive it on your own roads

Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. A week with the Seltos answers more than any brochure.

Running costs

A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models.

Year and trim

Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history. A newer year is not always better; check what changed before paying more for it. Set a budget that includes tax, licensing, insurance and the first set of tires.
