Level 2 autonomy cars?

[Loewe]

Hi all,

I have started the process of looking for a car. 1st I was looking for a Tesla model 3 and now an Y but too expensive. I will try to get one in like 3 4 years.
Then realised that ICE cars have this kind of autonomy level too. I know the differences between levels of autonomy and I am aiming for level 2 which should be lane assist and adaptive cruise.
The first system of lane assist was invented in 1992 on a Mitubishi Debonair according to google. So I am guessing I dont have to buy a 2016 car to have these.
Now I need guidance on what car should I look for because so many choices out there and I dont know what to choose. Also what year these car companies start to sell them cheap, the reason is I dont want to spend a fortune to have them. Thanks in advance. Amd sorry for any mistake, I am at work and my break is almost finished.

H ave a look at the Kia range for ACC and lane centring. I believe the Niro and Soul had these fitted as standard, but only on very recent vehicles (one to two years)

Thanks for reply, i have found a bmw 520d f10 2012 and it has ACC but no lane assist. But i will be 2nd owner and the car has f s h. And the money are good too. Too good to dont go for it.

Do you really need a diesel? Also, not being a Euro 6 might pose an issue when it comes to ULEZ etc if that matters to you

Yes i will do motorway miles most of the time. Dont really spend time in town with the car. As for ulez i live in an area where there is no ulez yet.
But thanks for bringing to my attention.

Watch out for different types of ACC. Some will work right to a stop and start going by themselves, some will turn off at low speeds, some wil stop and you have to start and reengage when traffic starts moving again.

I believe a mk10 civic has these features and if you have an auto it will do the brake to standstill and pull away again too

The VAG ACC and lane assist is excellent.

I can vouch for the Infiniti Q70/50 having great ACC/ADAS systems:

To get it in the Q50 range you need to look for Premium Tech/Sport Tech models:
