What the Seltos is like

The higher seat of a compact SUV gives a good view of the road in traffic.

It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.

Rent it for a week first

If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Rent the Seltos for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the Seltos answers more than any brochure.

The cost of driving it

At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel. The EPA estimates US$2,150 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting.

Year and trim

Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
