Which EVs Have Lane Keep Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking

The cheapest electric car in India whose maker names both lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking is the Tata Nexon.ev Empowered +A 45 at Rs 17,69,000 ex-showroom. Above it sit the MG Windsor EV Essence Pro at Rs 19,14,800, the Tata Curvv.ev Empowered X 55 at Rs 19,39,000, the Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Alpha at Rs 19,99,000 and the MG ZS EV Essence at Rs 20,74,600. Mahindra's XUV 3XO EV AX7L undercuts all of them at Rs 14,95,999 and Mahindra does list auto emergency braking on it, but the company never names lane keep assist for the electric version. Three electric cars sold here offer neither function on any variant at any price: the Tata Punch.ev, the Tata Tiago.ev and the MG Comet EV.

All prices are ex-showroom, checked on 15 October 2026.

The pair is a variant decision, not a model decision

Nothing here is standard equipment. On every electric car that offers lane keep assist and autonomous emergency braking, both arrive inside one driver assistance pack, and that pack sits on one variant near the top of the range. Buy a trim below it and you get no part of the system, not a cheaper version of it.

How far up the ladder the pack sits varies enormously. On the Tata Nexon.ev it is the sixth of six trims. On the Mahindra XEV 9e it is the second of four. The Maruti e Vitara has only three variants and the pack is on the third, so the step from a car with none of it to a car with all of it is one Rs 2,27,000 jump.

The names are not consistent either. Hyundai and Kia write Forward Collision-Avoidance Assist where Tata, Maruti, MG and Mahindra write some version of automatic emergency braking.

The five cheapest ways in

Tata Nexon.ev Empowered +A 45, Rs 17,69,000

The 45 kWh Nexon.ev tops out here, and the ADAS block on this variant lists traffic sign recognition, a lane centering system, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, autonomous emergency braking for pedestrians, cyclists and cars, and high beam assist. Driver drowsiness detection sits separately on the same trim.

What it does not have, on this or any other Nexon.ev, is adaptive cruise control. Tata gives plain cruise control from the Empowered 45 at Rs 16,34,000 and never upgrades it. This is the only EV here where the lane and braking functions arrive without it.

MG Windsor EV Essence Pro, Rs 19,14,800

MG's whole Level 2 pack lands on this one variant of the 52.9 kWh car: traffic jam assist, vehicle safe stop, adaptive cruise control, bend cruise assistance, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, lane keep assist, intelligent headlamp control, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian AEB and intelligent hydraulic braking assistance. Nothing below Essence Pro gets any of it, including the Exclusive Pro at Rs 18,04,800 that shares the bigger battery. The gap nobody mentions: the Windsor EV brochure does not contain the words blind spot anywhere, on any variant.

Tata Curvv.ev Empowered X 55, Rs 19,39,000

The most complete list at this money, and the only brochure here that tells you which blind spot hardware you are buying. Tata splits the two out: blind spot detection described as radar based, and a blind spot view monitor described as camera based, both on this variant. Alongside them sit adaptive cruise control with stop and go, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive steering assist, lane change alert, forward collision warning, four flavours of autonomous emergency braking covering vehicle, pedestrian, cyclist and junction, rear cross traffic alert, rear collision warning and a driver doze-off alert. The Accomplished X 55 below it, at Rs 17,19,000, gets the camera monitor and plain cruise control and nothing else from that list.

Maruti Suzuki e Vitara Alpha, Rs 19,99,000

Maruti puts everything on the Alpha and nothing on the Delta or Zeta. The grid breaks emergency braking and forward collision warning down by target, car to car, car to motorcycle, car to pedestrian and car to bicycle, each split between preceding and stationary or crossing, which is more detail than any other brochure here gives. Then lane keep assist, lane departure prevention, lane departure warning, vehicle sway warning, adaptive cruise control with all-speed following and stop keeping, adaptive high beam, blind spot monitor with lane change alert, and rear cross traffic alert.

Seven airbags are standard on all three variants, which is worth separating from the assistance pack. The Alpha runs the 61 kWh battery, certified at 543 km under Rule 124 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules; the 49 kWh Delta is certified at 440 km.

The weakness is the ladder. Three variants means no mid-trim with a partial pack, so the hardware costs a Rs 2,05,000 step up from the Zeta at Rs 17,94,000. One pricing note: NEXA's compare tool prices the Alpha at Rs 19,99,000, while the e Vitara price page leads the same card with the dual-tone colour at Rs 20,21,000.

MG ZS EV Essence, Rs 20,74,600

Adaptive cruise control, bend cruise assistance, lane departure warning, emergency lane keep, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking and pedestrian AEB, all on the top Essence trim. MG then splits its rear drive assist group off and gives blind spot detection, rear cross traffic alert and lane change assist to the Exclusive Plus at Rs 19,99,600 as well. On the ZS EV, and nowhere else here, the blind spot radar is buyable Rs 75,000 before the lane and braking functions are.

Mahindra sells Level 2 without always saying what is in it

The BE 6 SPORTEQ brochure dated 3 September 2026 prints "L2 ADAS (1 Radar & 1 Vision Camera)" against the Three+ variant and "L2+ ADAS (5 Radar & 1 Vision Camera)" against Four, Launch Edition and FE Four. There is no feature list. You get a radar count and a label, and the first variant carrying either is the Three+ 70 kWh at Rs 23,95,000.

The XEV 9e and XEV 9S brochures from the same company do the opposite. On the XEV 9e, Pack One at Rs 21,90,000 has a dash against every assistance row, and automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, lane centering, traffic sign recognition and adaptive cruise control all appear together on Pack Two 59 kWh at Rs 24,90,000. On the XEV 9S the same functions start on Pack Two Above 70 kWh at Rs 25,05,000, with Pack One Above at Rs 20,65,000 getting plain cruise control only.

That is worth knowing, because one widely repeated claim about these two cars is that the full suite comes on the base variant. On the XEV 9e it does not.

The XUV 3XO EV is the awkward one. Mahindra's product page names forward collision warning, auto emergency braking, traffic sign recognition and smart pilot assist on the AX7L at Rs 14,95,999, and elsewhere describes ten driver-assist features including adaptive cruise control. Lane keep assist is named in the petrol and diesel XUV 3XO material and is not named for the electric car in either the brochure or the website FAQ. We have left it unconfirmed rather than assume the two systems are identical.

Hyundai and Kia publish the grid but not the price

Hyundai's Creta Electric brochure is one of the clearer documents in this set: forward collision warning, forward collision avoidance assist for car, pedestrian, cycle, junction turning and direct oncoming, blind-spot collision warning and avoidance assist, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, lane following assist, driver attention warning, safe exit warning, smart cruise control with stop and go, high beam assist and leading vehicle departure alert, all from the Excellence trim upward on both the 42 kWh and 51.4 kWh packs. What Hyundai does not publish is a variant price list. Its price page gives Rs 18,02,800 as the starting price and nothing else.

Kia is in the same position with two cars. The Syros EV page gives Rs 13,49,900 as the starting price and lists ADAS Level 2 with 16 autonomous features on the X-Line ER without pricing that trim. The Carens Clavis EV starts at Rs 18,03,900 and gets ADAS Level 2 with 20 features from the HTX, again unpriced. Both lists include lane keeping assist, lane following assist, the forward collision avoidance family and smart cruise control with stop and go.

One difference between the two matters. The Clavis EV list includes blind spot collision warning and avoidance assist. The Syros EV list does not. It offers a blind view monitor in the cluster instead, a camera feed when you indicate rather than something watching the lane beside you.

The electric cars that offer neither

The Tata Punch.ev runs to Rs 12,99,000, and the closest it comes is plain cruise control from Rs 11,94,000 and a camera blind spot view monitor from Rs 12,69,000. The Tata Tiago.ev lists cruise control and two front airbags and nothing beyond. The MG Comet EV lists dual front airbags and no assistance functions at all, which is a fair call in a 2,974 mm city car that rarely sees a highway.

Above this group the pair stops being optional. The Kia EV6, sold here in a single GT-Line all-wheel-drive specification, carries lane keep assist, blind spot detection, blind-spot collision avoidance assist and smart cruise control with stop and go as part of its one trim.

How this list was built and what we could not verify

Every feature claim comes from the manufacturer's current brochure grid or, where the brochure is silent, from the manufacturer's own product page. Nothing is taken from a review or a specification database. The brands covered are Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Mahindra, Hyundai, Kia and MG. Maruti's ex-showroom feed publishes only a model range for the e Vitara, Rs 16,19,000 to Rs 20,21,000, so the Alpha figure comes from NEXA's compare tool. Mahindra's prices are the no-charger configurations, which is how Mahindra lists them by default.

Three gaps. Hyundai publishes no variant price list for the Creta Electric and Kia publishes none for the Syros EV or Carens Clavis EV, so those three are marked not published rather than filled in from elsewhere. Mahindra does not itemise what is inside the BE 6's L2 ADAS, so that entry rests on the label and the radar count. And Mahindra does not name lane keep assist for the XUV 3XO EV, so the cheapest Level 2 badge here is not the cheapest confirmed pair.

For the same cars ranked by charging speed alongside the assistance hardware, see electric SUVs with ADAS and fast charging. The sub Rs 20 lakh slice is in electric SUVs under Rs 20 lakh with ADAS and fast charging.

Frequently asked questions

Which is the cheapest EV in India with lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking?

The Tata Nexon.ev Empowered +A 45 at Rs 17,69,000 ex-showroom, if you want both named in the maker's own documentation. The Mahindra XUV 3XO EV AX7L is cheaper at Rs 14,95,999 and Mahindra lists auto emergency braking on it, but Mahindra does not name lane keep assist for the electric XUV 3XO.

Does the Maruti e Vitara have lane keep assist and emergency braking?

Yes, on the Alpha only, at Rs 19,99,000 ex-showroom, or Rs 20,21,000 in dual-tone paint. The Delta at Rs 16,19,000 and the Zeta at Rs 17,94,000 have none of the assistance pack, though all three get seven airbags as standard.

Is automatic emergency braking standard on any electric car in India?

Not on any car in this list. On every one it is tied to a specific variant, and on most it is the top or second-from-top trim. The nearest thing to standard fitment is the Kia EV6, sold in one specification only, so the pack comes with the car by default.

What is the difference between lane keep assist and lane centering?

Lane keep assist intervenes when you drift towards a lane marking and steers you back. Lane centering, which Tata calls a lane centering system and Mahindra a lane centering function, works continuously to hold the car in the middle of the lane without waiting for a drift. The Tata Nexon.ev, Tata Curvv.ev and Mahindra XEV 9e list both as separate functions.

Which electric cars have no driver assistance at all?

The Tata Punch.ev, the Tata Tiago.ev and the MG Comet EV. None offers lane keep assist, autonomous emergency braking or adaptive cruise control on any variant.
