Do the XUV700's ADAS features work in Indian driving conditions?

by @ashutosh.kumarover 1 year ago1 views5 answers
The XUV700 is also available with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), featuring adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking e.g. These technologies are increasingly being used in developed markets, but whether they work in Indian driving conditions is a moot point. But owners who praise the safety advantages and convenience of these features particularly on highways. Some assert that the unpredictable nature of Indian roads – with their mix of vehicles, pedestrians and animals – makes these systems less reliable, and even potentially dangerous. And the discussion often revolves around whether the ADAS features are worth the extra spend and whether they really add to safety in chaotic traffic scenarios like in many Indian cities.

As I always say, I appreciate Mahindra trying to bring these safety features in Indian market. It’s not perfect, but it’s a step in the right direction. They'll become more valuable as drivers get used to them.

ADAS features are nice to have, but I wouldn’t say I need them. They work pretty good on well marked highways but generally I turn them off in city traffic.

I think it's a mixed bag. For example, the automatic emergency braking has saved my butt on more than one occasion from close call. Some, like lane keep assist, are pretty useless on most Indian roads, but there are others which are quite useful.

ADAS in India? It’s more like "Anxiety-Inducing Driver Confusion System"! Our traffic beeps and flashes warnings that don’t make sense.

Surprisingly enough, I’ve found the ADAS features to be surprisingly useful on long highway drives. Adaptive cruise control is a real game changer with respect to reducing fatigue.
