These Are The 10 Most Affordable Cars With Cruise Control In India

In recent years, we have seen this convenience feature trickle down to many budget-friendly cars including the Maruti Swift and the new Hyundai Exter

Finding the perfect balance between affordability and convenience is a quest every car buyer embarks upon. Cruise control, once a luxury reserved for high-end models, has now become one of the most sought-after features even in affordable cars. In this story, let’s take a look at the top 10 most affordable cars in India to get this feature.

But first let’s explain its benefits:

What Is Cruise Control?

It is a feature in cars that allows drivers to set and maintain a constant speed without needing to continuously press the accelerator pedal. Until and unless the driver applies the brakes, the car keeps going at the set speed.

Most cars with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) get adaptive cruise control, which is essentially a smarter version of the standard cruise control. It increases or decreases your car’s speed to maintain a constant distance from the vehicle in front by using the camera, radars and sensors on board.

Note: None of the cars on this list get ADAS so they don’t come with adaptive cruise control.
