Dang.... that looks really good, front end reminds me of a Range Rover a bit. I wonder what drive train it'll get, I see the 4WD and GDI badge on the back, maybe the turbo 4?

 

[Waynerm002]

Or Volvo XC40. I actually like the look of it. I wonder what the size inside really is?

 

[SKStinger]

I see the new gen. Toyota RAV4. Yet another option in an overcrowded segment.

 

[NS_Stinger]

To me it 100% looks like a baby Range Rover from the side, has almost the exact same silhouette.

 

[YEH]

Basically our substitute for the Stonic (which is sold in Europe).

We just ordered a Sport with Safety pack in Snow Pearl white for the Missus.

Was looking at them myself for the wife. Let me know what you think. That's the base model isn't it.

Very nice. Like the wheels. What was the cost if you don't mind me asking? Not that it helps me over here as we seem to pay more in Western Australia.

 

[Nasscar]

Is there a waiting period?

I paid $31,025

As for a waiting list, only because they sell out as soon as they get them. I have to wait 10 days till the next lot arrive.

I like the look of them, they look like Range Rovers lost cousin but more Stylish. Wasn't sure about the name, sounded like some Minty lollies but now I know the background of the name it's ok.
One of the models comes with the ambient lighting but I expect that would be the expensive top spec.
We're not getting the Telluride here are we ?

Yes, the top spec gets the lighting, but it’s way to expensive for this kind of car.

Out of interest, do you know how much the top spec is ?

 

[Sime]

Here’s two prices, at the moment they are on special.

I think I read they were about $41000 which is a lot for a small SUV. DOH, Sime beat me to it and looks like he is more accurate.

Thanks. Not a bad price.

Apparently we are not getting the Telluride. Only being sold in North America. If we did, it would be parked in the garage next to the Stinger. Love the look of them. Couldn't they have thought of a better name than Seltos. Definitely a bit of Rangie in the look without the cost and reliability issues.

 

[Sime]

My dealer got their allocation on Friday and was sold out on Saturday. The thing with this car is that you like being around it, it’s got some nice mojo.
Even though we are getting the standard 2lt, it’s still a pleasant drive, it’s more comfortable than the Stinger.
