Top 6 Most Affordable Cars In India With ADAS Tech
The Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is becoming more popular in India, as more carmakers now offer this once-premium safety tech in mass-market models. These systems enhance driver awareness and safety by using sensors and cameras to monitor surroundings and assist with functions like braking and steering.
Currently, most affordable cars in India offer either Level 1 or Level 2 autonomous driving capabilities.
- Level 1 ADAS includes features like Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Lane Keep Assist, and Auto Emergency Braking.
- Level 2 ADAS adds Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Blind Spot Monitoring, and Lane Centering Assist for a more semi-autonomous driving experience.
That said, here are the 6 most affordable combustion-engine cars in India that offer ADAS, ranked in ascending order of price (ex-showroom).
6. Tata Nexon - Rs 13.53 lakh to Rs 13.81 lakh
The Tata Nexon brings Level 2 ADAS to the compact SUV segment through its Fearless+ S trim, but it's exclusive to the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a DCT gearbox.
Tata also offers the Red Dark Edition of the Nexon with the same ADAS suite, though only in the petrol-DCT configuration. Also, do note that diesel and manual variants of the Nexon do not come equipped with ADAS.
5. Kia Sonet - Rs 13.50 lakh to Rs 14.00 lakh
The Kia Sonet offers Level 1 ADAS in its GTX+ and X-Line variants, making it one of the more feature-rich compact SUVs in its class. The GTX+ trim can be had with either the 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol (DCT) or the 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel (torque converter). The X-Line, on the other hand, is exclusive to the turbo-petrol DCT setup.
Though not as advanced as its larger sibling, the Seltos, the Sonet still benefits from key safety features like collision avoidance and lane-departure warnings.
4. Honda City - Rs 12.69 lakh to Rs 19.48 lakh
The Honda City is among the earliest mass-market sedans in India to feature ADAS under the Honda Sensing suite. All variants except the base SV trim come equipped with it - namely, the V, VX, and ZX trims.
The City offers a 121hp, 1.5-litre petrol engine, available with either a manual transmission or CVT, while ADAS is also standard on the City e:HEV hybrid with its e-CVT gearbox.
3. Mahindra XUV 3XO - Rs 11.50 lakh to Rs 14.39 lakh
Mahindra's compact SUV, the XUV 3XO, brings Level 2 ADAS capability to the affordable SUV segment. The AX5 L and AX7 L variants get the ADAS suite, with the former offering a 131hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine (MT or automatic), and the latter adding an optional 1.5-litre diesel engine with a manual transmission.
This makes the XUV 3XO one of the most feature-loaded compact SUVs in India, especially for its price.
2. Hyundai Venue - Rs 11.49 lakh to Rs 12.80 lakh
Like its Kia counterpart, the Hyundai Venue comes equipped with a Level 1 ADAS package, available only on the top-spec SX(O) trim.
It can be had with the 120hp, 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine (MT/DCT) or the 116hp, 1.5-litre diesel (MT).
Hyundai's ADAS features include Forward Collision Warning, Lane Keep Assist, and Driver Attention Warning, providing an added layer of safety in urban driving conditions.
1. New Honda Amaze - Rs 9.14 lakh to Rs 10.24 lakh
The third-generation Honda Amaze takes the top spot as India's most affordable car with ADAS with a starting price for just Rs 9.14 lakh (ex-showroom) for the variant with ADAS.
Reserved for the top-spec ZX variants, the Amaze packs a 90hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine, available with both manual and CVT options. It's also the only sub-4-metre sedan in India to offer ADAS, bringing advanced safety tech into one of the most price-sensitive segments of the market.
