  Seltos is one of the best SUVs currently available in the price bracket of 20 to 30 lakhs. That vehicle has got next-generation adas features, adas 2, it has and is properly working without any complaints. The only SUV I can say in India in this range without any complaints on adas or any complaints on the features or more generally any complaints on the engine side or on any improper working of any functions of the car. So I always suggest everybody to go for Seltos in this segment.
