As per the owner, this Kia Seltos GTX+ Diesel AT was travelling at a speed of 80 km/hr. When suddenly, a buffalo came in the middle of the road. The owner could not apply the brakes in time and ended up hitting the buffalo. The impact of the incident is clearly seen in the photo, which looks hardly anything.
The owner said that the bonnet received a small dent and the bumper has received a crack. Even the side fender has received a dent, but all these things are still livable. Other than that, nothing has been damaged. That remains unknown if the airbags deployed or not, since this is the top end variant and comes loaded with seven airbags.
The owner is very satisfied with the safety of the car. This is the top-end GTX+ Diesel AT variant which comes loaded with all the bells and whistles. Safety bits include blind spot monitor, 360-degree camera, seven airbags, traction control and drive modes, ESC, Vehicle Stability Management, front and rear parking sensors and much more.
The top-end GTX+ variant comes only with the diesel engine and turbo-petrol engine, no petrol unit offered. It gets a 1.4 Litre T-GDI turbo motor that produces 143 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed MT and a 7-speed DCT. The diesel engine is a 1.5 Litre turbo-charged unit that is good for 115 PS and 250 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed MT and a 6-speed torque converter.
