ADAS features are now available across mass-market and electric SUVs in India in 2025
Level 2 ADAS improves safety and comfort during highway drives and dense traffic conditions
Safety technology has become a key factor influencing SUV buying decisions across segments
The Indian SUV market in 2025 has entered a phase where safety technology is no longer limited to premium badges. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, or ADAS are now available across different price points from mass-market SUVs to electric crossovers. What began as a highway-focused feature is now part of daily driving as traffic density and average speeds continue to rise.
ADAS consists of numerous safety technologies that support the driver using sensors, radars, and cameras to evaluate lane lines, the environment around them, and anything that could pose a hazard.
ADAS helps drivers by constantly examining these items in order to prevent accidents. ADAS features include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keeping Assist (LKA), Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM), and Traffic Signs Recognition (TSR).
As of 2025, almost all SUVs sold in India with an ADAS system will operate at level 2, in which the driver still has total control of the vehicle while receiving assistance with steering, braking, and accelerating.
The use of ADAS technology will improve the comfort of extended highway travel (long distance) and provide support for fast stops (emergency brake) situations as well as for changing lanes, especially on roads with high speed limits. The improved comfort during long-distance highway travel should result in less fatigue when driving on an expressway.

More SUVs like the Hyundai Creta, Tata Nexon, Hyundai Venue, Mahindra XUV 3XO, and MG Astor already have ADAS technology. Adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning systems and lane assist will become even more common in automobiles. The increased use of ADAS in cars is being driven by the fact that most consumers will base their buying decision on the Bharat NCAP safety rating of a vehicle.
The SUV market, which has traditionally focused on style and luxury, is now moving toward innovation in safety by 2025. As ADAS is becoming more affordable and commonplace, it is moving from luxury to everyday use in both electric vehicles and traditional gas and diesel vehicles. Buyers are expecting more advanced safety systems from both electric and gas and diesel vehicle manufacturers as they redefine safety features for everyday use on public highways.

Rising traffic speeds, safety awareness, and Bharat NCAP ratings are pushing manufacturers to include ADAS as a key selling point.
