Top 10 most affordable ICE cars with ADAS

The democratisation of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is visible in the Indian market, with many car brands now offering the safety tech in their mass-market models. Cars in this faction currently offer two stages of autonomous driving: Level 1, with ADAS features such as 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-run cars in India that offer the advanced safety system, priced from highest to lowest.

10. Hyundai Verna

Rs 17.15 lakh-18.4 lakh

Starting this list is the Hyundai Verna, which gets a Level 2 ADAS suite in the HX 8 and HX 10 trims. The Verna can be had with a 115hp 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol with MT/CVT or a 160hp 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine with MT/DCT.
