The 2026 Seltos is built with safety at its core. This SUV comes with advanced driver-assist systems like Forward Collision-Avoidance, Lane Keep Assist, and Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance. Its updated structure and technology earn strong crash test results, giving drivers confidence on city streets, highways, and slippery roads alike. Standard and available features work together to protect everyone inside, making every drive more secure and worry-free.

Advanced Safety for Confident Driving

The 2026 model of this compact SUV takes safety seriously. It is designed with advanced technology that supports drivers on every trip. Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist is standard across all trims. Using a forward-facing radar, it detects potential collisions and can apply the brakes automatically if needed. This system helps prevent accidents in busy city streets or on the highway. In Calgary’s urban areas, this feature provides an extra layer of confidence when traffic becomes unpredictable.

Lane Keep Assist is another key feature that keeps drivers in their lane. If the vehicle begins to drift, visual and audio alerts warn the driver. If there is no reaction, the system gently guides the SUV back into the correct lane. This feature is especially useful during long highway drives or in snowy conditions, where lanes may be less visible.

Blind-Spot and Rear Cross-Traffic Monitoring

Blind-Spot Collision-Avoidance Assist adds another layer of security. It alerts the driver if another vehicle is detected in the blind spot when changing lanes. In some cases, it can even help guide the vehicle back into the original lane. This technology is particularly helpful in busy intersections or when merging onto highways.

Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance Assist works when reversing out of parking spots. It senses vehicles approaching from the sides and warns the driver with audio and visual signals. The SUV can also apply the brakes automatically to prevent a possible collision. For city drivers in tight parking lots, this feature makes backing out safer and less stressful.

The Safe Exit Assist System is also part of the package. Using sensors from the blind-spot system, it prevents passengers from opening doors into oncoming traffic. This feature is especially handy when parking on busy streets or near school zones.

Driving Assistance That Enhances Everyday Trips

This SUV comes equipped with a Rear-View Camera with dynamic parking guidelines. It displays a live view behind the vehicle when in reverse, with projected path lines to guide manoeuvres. In combination with other driver-assistance systems, this makes parking and tight turns much easier.

Digital Key 2 Touch allows drivers to unlock and start the vehicle using a smartphone. A Share Key function provides controlled access to friends or family without handing over a physical key. This feature adds convenience for multi-driver households.

Dual 10.25-inch TFT displays combine a digital instrument cluster with a touchscreen for audio, navigation, and system controls. The Heads-Up Display projects important driving information onto the windshield. Both features allow drivers to access essential data without looking away from the road.

Upgraded Safety from Previous Models

Compared with the previous year, the 2026 SUV offers more standard safety equipment. Blind-Spot and Rear Cross-Traffic Collision-Avoidance are now standard on most trims. Lane Keep Assist and Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist have been refined to react faster and more accurately. This ensures improved performance in urban traffic, highway travel, and Canadian winter conditions. All-wheel drive (AWD) enhances stability, especially in slippery conditions. When paired with the advanced safety systems, the AWD version provides extra confidence for driving on wet or snowy roads.

Summary of Safety Ratings and Features

Crash test results and independent ratings highlight the SUV’s commitment to safety. Its structure and safety technology contribute to high scores in frontal and side-impact tests. Features like FCA, LKA, BCA, RCCA, and Safe Exit Assist work together to reduce risks and protect passengers. For Calgary drivers looking for a compact SUV with top-notch safety, this model stands out in its class.
