MUMBAI: Honda Cars India has hit the accelerator on safety, crossing the milestone of 50,000 Adas-enabled cars on Indian roads. With its Honda Sensing technology making waves, the company is reaffirming its commitment to a future of accident-free driving aligning with Honda’s global goal of achieving zero traffic collision fatalities by 2050.

First introduced in India with the Honda City e:Hev in 2022, Honda Sensing has rapidly expanded across the lineup, making its way to the Honda City (2023), the Elevate (2023), and most recently, the Amaze (2024). The third-generation Amaze now holds the title of India’s most affordable Adas-equipped car, bringing advanced driver assistance technology within reach of more customers.

With safety now a key purchase driver, Adas-equipped variants account for 60 per cent of elevate sales, a whopping 95 per cent of City sales, and 30 per cent of Amaze sales. Among customers choosing ADAS models, half cited safety tech as their top reason for purchase.

Honda Cars India vice president for marketing & sales Kunal Behl said, “At Honda Cars India, safety is at the core of everything we do. The 50,000 ADAS milestone reflects our commitment to making roads safer while also demonstrating the growing acceptance of advanced safety technology among Indian consumers.”

In 2023, Honda became the first automaker in India to introduce Adas in manual transmission models, ensuring safety innovation isn’t limited to automatic variants.
