The newly-designed, larger 18-inch alloy wheels, ORMVs with piano black treatment and orange accents on the centre wheel caps and side door garnish enhance its sporty side appearance.
At the back, the model features blacked out tailgate, new gloss finish on faux exhausts, ‘X-Line’ badge on the tailgate and blacked out skid plate with orange highlights. One of the biggest changes made inside the cabin is the Indigo Pera leatherette seats with honeycomb pattern and grey stitching. The dual-tone Black and Grey dashboard further distinguish it from the standard Seltos. Its feature list is identical to the range-topping Seltos GT Line trim of the regular model.
