Engine and hybrid option
Currently, the Seltos present in India comes with 1.5 liter petrol, 1.5 liter turbo petrol and 1.5 liter diesel engines. The new model can also retain these engine options.

This system will be self-charging and will also reduce emissions along with fuel efficiency.
Importance for the Indian market
