Marshall McLuhan once said, “Technology is that which separates us from the Environment” and who knew that these words could someday these said words will become reality. With that said It might take time for certain technology to become affordable to the general masses with one such tech being in-car Air Purifiers.
Did you know- there are only 4 cars with Air Purifiers in India under Rs 30 Lakhs. Here are they!

Hyundai Creta
First, on the list of cars with air purifiers is the all-new 2020 Hyundai Creta is surely a pioneer of luxury and offers a much more premium version of what we call an air purifier system which has been built into the cabin design. This air-purification system houses in the front central armrest and can be controlled via the car’s massive 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system or through a smartphone the Hyundai’s Bluelink app.
This system also displays the active air quality index of the cabin but Hyundai only offers this feature in the Hyundai Creta SX variant which comes with an automatic transmission.

Hyundai offers this system in the SX(O) and SX+ which also happens to be the top-spec variants of the Venue. Surprisingly the air-purifier takes up the space of one of the cup-holders in the centre console and is also detachable from its port.
