Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are no longer reserved for premium cars. In recent years, several mass-market manufacturers have begun offering these safety technologies in their more affordable models. ADAS features like forward collision warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring can now be found in compact sedans and SUVs priced within reach of many Indian buyers.
Currently, most cars in this segment offer either Level 1 ADAS (basic functions such as lane departure warning and forward collision alert) or Level 2 ADAS (which adds adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and enhanced driver aids).
If you’re planning to buy a car equipped with ADAS without breaking the bank, here’s a list of the 10 most affordable internal combustion cars in India that come with this advanced safety suite.
10. Kia Syros
Price: ₹16.80 lakh – ₹17.80 lakh
Kia’s newest compact SUV, the Syros, rounds off this list. Its fully loaded HTX+(O) trim is equipped with a Level 2 ADAS package, offering features like adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, and autonomous emergency braking. Buyers can choose between a 120hp 1.0-litre turbo-petrol with a DCT gearbox or a 116hp 1.5-litre diesel with a torque converter automatic.
9. Hyundai Verna
Price: ₹16.40 lakh – ₹17.58 lakh
The latest-generation Hyundai Verna is not just stylish but also among the most affordable sedans with Level 2 ADAS. Available in the SX(O) trim, the Verna offers ADAS with the 115hp 1.5-litre petrol CVT and the more powerful 160hp 1.5-litre turbo-petrol (manual or DCT). However, the manual SX(O) of the 1.5 petrol misses out on ADAS.

India’s most popular midsize SUV, the Hyundai Creta, also comes with a Level 2 ADAS suite in its SX Tech and SX(O) variants. Engine options include the 115hp 1.5 petrol (MT/CVT), the 116hp 1.5 diesel (MT/AT), and the punchy 160hp 1.5 turbo-petrol (DCT).

6. Honda Elevate

3. Mahindra XUV 3XO
