In Today’s world more and more cars in India now come with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). What “has ADAS” depends on variant (trim) and sometimes only higher‑end variants get it.
Here’s a detailed look at some cars in India (2024–2025) offering ADAS — and what kind of ADAS features they typically pack.

What is ADAS?
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are vehicle technologies designed to enhance driving safety, convenience, and overall control by using sensors, cameras, and intelligent software to monitor the environment and assist the driver in real time.
Some Popular Cars in India With ADAS
Here are several widely available cars in India that offer ADAS (or some ADAS features) depending on variant — from budget sedans to compact SUVs and midsize SUVs.
| Car (or SUV) | What ADAS / approximate trim / notes |
|---|---|
| Honda Amaze | In its ZX (top) variant — offers ADAS including adaptive cruise control, lane‑keeping assist, auto high‑beam etc. It’s among the most “affordable ADAS” cars in India. |
| Mahindra XUV 3XO (sub‑4m SUV) | In its higher‑end AX5L / AX7L variants, it gets Level 2 ADAS: adaptive cruise control (in many variants), auto emergency braking / collision avoidance, lane‑keeping/keep assist, forward‑collision warning and more. |
| Honda City (petrol & hybrid) | Mid / higher variants are offered with “Honda Sensing” which includes ADAS: lane‑keeping assist, collision mitigation, road‑departure mitigation, adaptive cruise control, auto head‑lamp beam adjust, etc. |
| Hyundai Venue (compact SUV) | In the top‑spec variants (e.g. SX(O)), gets certain ADAS features (like lane‑keeping assist, forward collision warning, lane‑departure warnings, high-beam assist) — although functionality may be more limited (Level 1-ish) compared to full Level 2. |
| MG Astor (compact / midsize SUV) | Its “Savvy” (and certain other) trims provide ADAS Level 2 — adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane‑keep/assist, collision warnings and more. |
| Hyundai Creta (midsize SUV) | From its “SX Tech” (and higher) trims, ADAS features such as blind‑spot avoidance, lane‑departure warning, adaptive cruise control etc. are offered. |
| Tata Nexon EV 45 (electric SUV) | Recent (2025) update brings in ADAS features — including lane keep assist, lane departure warning, forward collision warning/avoidance, traffic sign recognition, high‑beam assist etc. |
What “ADAS” Means on Indian Cars (Features Offered)
- Lane‑keeping assist / lane keep / lane‑departure warning/mitigation — helps prevent unintentional lane drift, warns or corrects if you drift. (E.g. on Amaze, XUV 3XO, MG Astor, etc.)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) — maintains set distance from vehicle ahead automatically (useful on highways); available on many cars like Honda City, XUV 3XO, MG Astor.
- Collision avoidance / Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) / Forward‑collision warning — helps prevent or reduce severity of collisions. Offered on many ADAS‑equipped cars.
- Driver‑assist extras — e.g. auto high‑beam, blind‑spot detection, lane‑change alerts, traffic‑sign recognition, driver attention warning, etc., depending on car & trim.
Limitations in India
- Variant matters a lot — ADAS rarely comes standard in base variants; usually top or mid variants only. So you have to pick the right trim.
- Functionality depends on road / driving conditions — lane‑keep / lane‑assist needs lane markings; adaptive cruise and AEB work best on clear roads / highways (less effective in chaotic city traffic).
- Not full “self‑driving” — ADAS helps and assists, but you still must drive carefully — it’s a support, not replacement for attentive driving.
- Price jump — ADAS variants cost more than base trims, though some like Amaze, XUV 3XO make ADAS comparatively affordable.
