UPDATE: Finally saw the new SELTOS in the metal * Ayala Mall Nuvali, Sta Rosa Laguna over the weekend.

First impressions - a bit smaller than how I imagined it would be but totally good-looking crossover.

Here are some info I got from my brief inspection if the car and quick chat with the agent (I was there for a concert which was already about to start).

- All variants coming in will carry the 2.0L Nu Atkinson Gasoline Engine.
- Arrival of the top of the line - GT Line (phun intended) with diesel engine may or may not happen due to pricing concerns which I will clarify in a bit below.
- For now only 3 trims are available with some details as emailed by agent:

LX (Base/Entry Model) 1,098,000
17" Alloy wheels
8* touchscreen audio
Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Rear View Camera
Halogen headlamps
Electric adjust side view mirrors
Fabric seats
Multifunction steering wheel
Keyless entry
Multifunction Display
Driver and Fr. Passenger Airbags
Antilock Brake System (ABS)
6 Speakers
Bluetooth & USB connectivity
Manual Air-conditioning

"EX (advantage)" 1,198,000
LED tail lights
Beltline satin finish
LED DRL, LED position lamps (front grille)
Radiator grille chrome trim
Front fog lamps
Side turn lamps at mirrors
Roof rail
Cruise control
Fabric+leatherette seats

"SX (advantage)" 1,498,000
LED headlamps, fog lamps
LED tail lights
Beltline satin finish
Front side + curtain airbags
Electronic stability control (ESC/ESP)
Smart Entry
Auto Climate Conditioning
Chrome door inside handle
Leather steering wheel and gear knob
Leatherette sliding console box
Rear parking sensor
Engine immobilizer

And yes no panoramic sunroof even for the SX trim. But ALL variants will sport the same tires / rims of the top model GT LINE - as seen in attached photo (and as sales guy said)

Colors may vary depending on stock but what was on display was the yellow gold color if Im not mistaken



Again, its a great looking crossover but the 1.5M price tag tho maybe due to the 2.0 engine, may seem a bit too steep a price tag personally speaking.

But if you DO have the money to burn, I think it will still be worth it.
