Lane centring, automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise are sold as one word with three letters. Here is what the sensors do, where the system gives up, and what to check on a spec sheet before you trust it.

Five-star structures, a self-charging hybrid, a 200 bhp seven-seater and a micro-SUV that starts below ₹6 lakh. This is what ₹15 lakh buys in the segment that swallowed the Indian car market.
