The democratisation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) can be seen in the Indian market, with many car brands now offering the safety tech in their mass-market models. Cars in this segment currently offer two stages of autonomous driving: Level 1, with ADAS features like forward-collision warning and lane-keep assist, and Level 2, which adds adaptive cruise control and blind-spot monitoring. If you are looking for cars with ADAS, here are the 10 most affordable combustion-engine cars in India that offer the advanced safety system, priced from highest to lowest.
10. MG Astor
Rs 15.16 lakh
When the MG Astor was launched in 2021, it was the only midsize SUV to offer an ADAS suite. MG offers Level 2 ADAS with the Astor’s top-spec Savvy Pro trim. Currently, the Astor top model is available only with a 110hp 1.5-litre petrol engine paired with a CVT unit.
9. Honda Elevate
