    Under the hood

    It runs the 2.0L 4-cylinder, with front-wheel drive. 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. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $11.63, and a 300 km weekend about $34.89. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$2,150 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.

    Practical details

    Being a compact SUV, it handles luggage, strollers and sports gear well.

    Who the Seltos suits

    It suits a stretch between cars, by the week or the month. It suits visitors who want a familiar car for a week in town.

    A longer test drive

    Rent the Seltos for a week and see how it fits your life. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Seltos first, and buy only if it fits your life.

    Money matters

    A 1,000 km month costs roughly $116.30 at our price setting. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $11.63 in fuel.

    Which one to look for

    If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Compare the LX with the other trims of the same year before you decide. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices.
