The India-spec model gets dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, rear parking sensors as standard. The test vehicle used by ANCAP had six airbags and safety assist systems as standard. Kia Seltos previously scored a 5-star rating in the Global NCAP crash test and a 5-star rating in the ANCAP crash test. The front row occupants were critically injured but survived due to the airbags and seatbelts. Rear seat occupants of the SUV didn't survive the accident. The impact tore the floor of the SUV and roof resulting in the SUV split into two. But the manoeuvres failed and the Seltos crashed into the bridge. The SUV then got back on the road and took a sudden right turn as there was a bridge ahead.

The SUV driver swerved the vehicle and turned away from the road while trying to save the motorcyclist. It has been reported that a motorcyclist suddenly came in front of the SUV from a dirt road to the main road. The SUV involved in the accident is an older version of the currently discontinued Anniversary Edition. The latest version of the Kia Seltos gets an updated electronic stability control that helps the vehicle to stay stable even during high-speed manoeuvres.

The image shows as if the SUV was torn apart by a massive force. The monocoque structure of the Kia Seltos was split completely into two parts because of the severe kinetic energy produced during the high-speed impact in a compact area. The splitting of the SUV was a result of a rare combination of factors. It has also been reported that an FIR has been filed against the driver. According to reports, local police officials suspect the Seltos was being driven at high speed.
