In the month of November, continuing the same, the Seltos has climbed among the top 10 beset-selling cars in the country.
Last month, the company managed to sell 14,005 units of the Seltos SUV in India, ranking below Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai and Mahindra. In October, the company managed to sell around 12,800 units of the Seltos. This went on to surpass Maruti Suzuki's best-selling SUV, Vitara Brezza, of which only 12,033 units were sold in November. The car comes equipped with the UVO connect, a connected car technology which offers an array of convenience and safety features. The UVO boasts 37 smart features under five distinct categories i.e. Navigation, Safety and Security, Vehicle Management, Remote Control and Convenience.
