The City Hybrid’s other talking point are its camera-based advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) that comprise adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, lane departure warning, frontal collision warning, and high beam assist, among the notable ones. Adaptive cruise control allows you to adjust and maintain a preset speed and distance with the vehicle in front. However, we did notice that the system felt a bit jerky decelerating, when the vehicle ahead drives erratically.

Segment-first camera-based ADAS gives it an edge over rivals.

Lane keeping assist and departure warning work well on clearly marked road surface, but as with all systems, the driver’s hands need to be on the wheel, failing which there will be a warning after a few seconds on the instrument cluster. The automatic high beam feature works well on a dimly lit empty road at speeds beyond 30kph, but if the camera detects the headlamps of an oncoming vehicle or even the tail-lamps of one ahead, it will automatically switch to low beam. Some of these ADAS are certainly nice to have, but some drivers might prefer leaving them turned off, as these could feel a bit intrusive in everyday driving scenarios.
