🛣️ Off-Road / Capability Notes

While Seltos is a capable SUV on roads, true off-road performance (4×4/AWD) is not standard in India’s 2025 lineup. It offers:
✔ Good ground clearance for rough roads and speed breakers
✔ Stability controls & hill assist for safe driving
✔ Roof rails & rugged styling but not hardcore off-road hardware
➡ Best suited for highway cruising, city, and occasional dirt tracks, not extreme off-road trails.

For dedicated off-road, SUVs with AWD/4×4 systems are preferable.
