SUV gets R88 000 price cut with release of new LS model

The importer has quietly added a new 1.5-litre LS model to the family, which is available for R379995 in manual guise and R404995 as a CVT auto, as reported by Cars.co.za.

Not only does this lower the entry price of the Seltos range by R88000, but it also positions the model closer to similarly-sized rivals like the Suzuki Grand Vitara, which starts at R358900, and the Toyota Urban Cruiser, from R342 500.
