With more power and a nicer cabin, the refreshed Seltos boosts its entry-level value in key ways.
The most notable change comes by way of the turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder in the X-Line and SX trims. Horsepower is up by 20, to 195 horses, while torque remains unchanged at 195 pound-feet. This all new engine features a smaller bore and longer stroke than the previous 1.6-liter and is equipped with a larger turbocharger, revised camshafts, new injectors, and tweaks to thermal management and the cylinder head.
The 2024 Seltos's suspension remains unchanged, which is good, because we dig the ride just as much as we did back. Body motions are nicely controlled, and brake-based torque vectoring gives this little ute plenty of composure in more aggressive maneuvers. Acoustic front glass—new last year and still a welcome addition—keeps the cabin surprisingly quiet for a budget crossover, with only a little bit of wind noise from around the side mirrors.
