Yesterday in Dehradun, a Kia Seltos was involved in a serious accident that’s been making rounds on local news and social media. Reports suggest the SUV lost control and the impact caused significant damage and the incident has sparked a lot of debate about how safe compact SUVs really are on Indian roads.
On paper, the Seltos is one of the safest compact SUVs in India, with a 5-star Bharat NCAP rating for both adult and child occupant protection. Yet incidents like this remind us that ratings don’t always guarantee survival when speed, road conditions, or driver behavior are factors.
I wanted to ask the community:
Do you think the Seltos’ build quality matches its NCAP rating?especially seeing the impact on seltos
Are these accidents more about driver recklessness than the car itself?
For owners: how confident do you feel about the Seltos’ safety features in daily use?
Would you still continue with your decision on buying Seltos?
Would love to hear perspectives from people
