These Are The 10 Most Affordable Cars In India With ADAS
Three models each from Hyundai and Honda feature in this list, while two Kia SUVs have also made it
Car safety has come a long way and is no longer just about airbags and crumple zones that come into play only after a crash. Today’s cars are smarter and proactive with an active safety tech called ‘advanced driver assistance systems’ (ADAS). It’s a driver assistance technology that uses a camera and radar to detect the surroundings to prevent collisions. From assisting with keeping your car in lane and highway cruising to automatically applying brakes in an emergency, it makes driving both safer and more convenient. If you’re considering an ADAS-equipped car, here’s a look at the 10 most affordable options currently available in India.
Honda Amaze
Variant: ZX, Rs 10 Lakh Onwards
The third-generation Honda Amaze is the most affordable offering in India to come with ADAS. Note that this subcompact sedan only uses camera and not radar for this safety tech. The suite includes lane keep assist, lane departure alert, road departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and auto high-beam. Though not a part of its ADAS suite, the Amaze also comes equipped with a lane-watch camera for the left-hand side of the car, in order to cover the blind spot area.
Hyundai Venue 2025
Variant: HX10, Rs 13 lakh (expected)
The Hyundai Venue was the first SUV in the segment to introduce ADAS. The feature list has gotten even stronger with the 2025 model thanks to the introduction of an upgraded level-2 system. Highlight ADAS features include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and lane keep assist.
Mahindra XUV 3XO
Variant: From AX5 L TGDi, Rs 12.62 Lakh Onwards
The Mahindra XUV 3XO is the only offering from Mahindra in this list, which comes with level 2 ADAS available from its mid-spec AX5 L TGDi (direct-injection turbo-petrol) variant. It is equipped with safety aids like adaptive cruise control, auto-emergency braking for the pedestrian, cyclist, and vehicle, forward collision warning, traffic sign recognition, high-beam assist, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, and smart pilot assist. After the AX5 L, the ADAS suite is available with the top-spec AX7L variant of the SUV.
