It’s been my perfect partner for navigating Dubai, and here’s why.

First, it looks fantastic. Its bold, modern design really stands out on Sheikh Zayed Road. The 1.6L engine is peppy enough for highway merging and feels very responsive in city traffic. Best of all, it's surprisingly fuel-efficient, which is a huge win for my budget.

Its size is just right for urban life. I sit higher than in a sedan, which is great for visibility, but it's still compact enough that parking at places like Dubai Mall is stress-free. The air conditioner is a champion, battling the summer heat instantly.

It’s packed with tech for the price, making it feel much more premium than it is. It’s not for serious off-roading, but for a stylish, comfortable, and incredibly practical daily driver for a young person in the city, the Seltos is an amazing choice. I get compliments on it all the time
