With air pollution levels continuing to rise, air purifiers have become a common addition to many homes.

This is where in-car air purification systems come into focus.

Apart from basic PM2.5 cabin air filters, which are a passive filtration component, most of the cars listed here offer proper air purification systems that go a step further. These setups typically use a combination of HEPA and activated carbon filters, ionisers, and in some cases UV-based sterilisation, to actively reduce bacteria, allergens and harmful pollutants inside the cabin. Here’s a look at some of the most affordable options in India that come with built-in air purifiers.
Kia Sonet – Rs 10.80 lakh
The Kia Sonet is the most affordable model here to offer a built-in air purifier.
