Safety a top priority? Here are top 5 most affordable cars with ADAS in India
- ADAS is one of the most advanced safety features usually available mostly in high-end cars in India.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS, is the industry's buzzword. ADAS are technical features developed to improve vehicle safety and these features have become so popular that most of the manufacturers are trying to offer ADAS with their models. During 2024, many of the mass market models were launched with ADAS.
The ADAS systems are largely concerned with collision avoidance technologies (e.g. lane departure warning and blind-spot applications) and driver assistance features such as night vision, driver awareness and adaptive cruise control. Here are the top 5 most affordable Indian cars with ADAS.
Honda Amaze
The third generation Honda Amaze, which was launched recently, is the most affordable Indian car available with ADAS features. The 2024 Amaze offers ADAS features on the top spec ZX trim level that starts at ₹9.70 lakh, ex-showroom. Incorporating camera-based Honda Sensing ADAS package, the 2024 Amaze gets features, such as adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, and lane-keeping assist.
