- At lower trims, Seltos buyers can pick from 1.5L NA petrol, 1.5L turbo-petrol (iMT) and 1.5L diesel, while Sierra’s turbo-petrol is limited to higher variants.
- The Seltos HTE (O) offers a turbo-petrol option at Rs 12.89 lakh, a performance choice not available to Sierra buyers at similar price points.
- Feature audits note the Seltos base includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen and a 12-inch instrument display, whereas the Sierra base lacks a touchscreen and speakers.
- Reviewers highlight the Sierra’s triple-screen cabin, panoramic sunroof, JBL audio and Level 2 ADAS, with Times Now also citing a larger boot (622 litres) and a stronger road presence.
