For the Seltos's sophomore year, it gains a host of driver-assistance features as standard, including automated emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlamps. The larger 10.3-inch infotainment screen is now standard on more of the Seltos's trim levels, and all but the LX trim now come with automatic climate control and remote start; the top-spec SX receives a flat-bottomed steering wheel and a new Plum interior color scheme. The Nightfall Edition is new to the lineup this year and features unique black-painted 18-inch aluminum wheels and blacked-out exterior trim.

Pros
Roomier cabin than other subcompact SUVs,
slick infotainment features,
engaging driving dynamics.

Cons
Stiff-legged ride over bumpy surfaces,
optional seven-speed automatic occasionally stumbles,
base powertrain could use some refinement.
