Top 5 Affordable Cars with ADAS in India

Top 5 Affordable Cars with ADAS in India: Just a decade ago, the general public was not bothered about safety; hence, manufacturers were not interested in providing any safety features. Very few models featured ABS and Airbags in those days, and the safety features were limited to the top variants.

Come 2023, the situation is completely different. The general public is now aware of the importance of safety and is ready to pay the premium for safety. The government has also imposed mandates to feature ABS and airbags as standard. Apart from ABS and airbags, a car’s structural rigidity is also taken into consideration by the public. Several global crash test results are being followed before purchase, and the Government of India has also introduced the Bharat NCAP program.

From the past year companies are introducing different levels of ADAS to improve the safety quotient even further. Ealier ADAS was featured in the luxury car segment but now it has been introduced in the budget cars as well with the rise in the demand of safe cars. In this article we will talking about the Top 5 Affordable Cars with ADAS in India.
