Unfortunately, not many cars will fit all your requirements in a budget of Rs 15 lakh. Most notably, ADAS with adaptive cruise control, which is usually reserved for higher variants of cars in higher segments. The cars that do offer it within your budget, however, are the Honda Amaze, Kia Sonet and Tata Nexon.Of these three, we would recommend the Tata Nexon, as it is the most spacious and comfortable, and best suited for travelling with 5 on board. Its mileage is not the best, but it does have all the features you would want and has scored a 5-star crash test rating from both Global NCAP and Bharat NCAP. If you don't mind foregoing ADAS, however, there are far more options that open up.

You could consider the range-topping Tata Nexon EV with the 45kWh battery, which gets Level 2 ADAS and ventilated seats, both. The Tata Curvv EV is the only other option with the ADAS and ventilated seats.There are no hybrid SUVs for Rs 20L which get ADAS and ventilated seats, and you will have to pay a lot more for the other electric cars that are equipped with these features.

You can consider the Maruti Suzuki Brezza ZXi variant. It comes with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox and is known to be a reliable car. Maruti Suzuki is planning to update the Brezza very soon, so it would be better to wait for the updated model to arrive.Another option that fits your priorities is the Skoda Kylaq Prestige AT. It is a solid car, though it is smaller in size compared to the Brezza.

The Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Honda Amaze are the best automatic sedan options under Rs 10 lakh. If a smooth, automatic transmission and drive experience are priorities for you, the Honda Amaze CVT is the one you should look at. It's a great pick, especially if rear seat space isn't a deciding factor.The Maruti Suzuki Dzire uses a less sophisticated AMT-type automatic transmission. Gearshifts aren't slick, and there is a noticeable pause in power delivery between shifts, especially under quick acceleration. In other areas, though, the Dzire does come across as the more wholesome package. It's got a more spacious interior, packs in more features, is more fuel-efficient, and also costs a whole lot less.
