The 2026 Kia Seltos comes standard with a comprehensive suite of active safety systems that monitor road conditions and intervene to help prevent collisions. Forward Collision Avoidance Assist uses cameras and radar to warn of—and apply brakes for—vehicles, pedestrians or cyclists day and night. Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist and Lane Follow Assist work together to keep you centred in your lane and prevent unsafe lane changes, while Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assist and Safe Exit Assist guard against hazards when reversing or exiting.
Underpinning these active features, Electronic Stability Control, Hill Assist and Downhill Brake Control maintain traction on slippery or uneven surfaces, and the Tire Pressure Monitoring System ensures optimal tyre contact. Six airbags—dual front, side-curtain and front side-seat—provide passive protection if a collision occurs. Together, these systems offer multiple layers of defence, giving drivers and families confidence on every journey.
- Test Forward Collision Avoidance Assist in both city and highway settings to feel its braking intervention.
- Experience Lane Follow Assist on a longer drive to assess how it keeps you centred without manual correction.
- Verify Blind-Spot Collision Avoidance Assist by changing lanes near adjacent traffic and noting the alert and braking response.
- Use Rear Cross-Traffic Avoidance Assist when backing out of a parking spot to observe its automatic braking.
- Inspect Electronic Stability Control and Hill/Downhill Brake Control on varied road surfaces for assured traction.
By integrating active collision avoidance, driver-assist technology and six-airbag passive protection, the Seltos helps manage unpredictable urban and highway hazards—reducing stress and enhancing safety for all occupants.
