Adaptive cruise control systems and methods of providing overtake acceleration aid in host vehicles. In one embodiment, the adaptive cruise control system includes an ultrasonic sensor, a radar sensor, a camera, and an electronic controller. The ultrasonic sensor, the radar sensor, and the camera are configured to sense within fields-of-view of a neighboring lane. Responsive to receiving an input indicating an overtake request, the electronic controller is configured determine when an object is located in the neighboring lane based in part on first data received from the ultrasonic sensor. The electronic controller is also configured to determine a velocity of the object when the object is located within the field-of-view of the radar sensor or the camera. The electronic controller is further configured to determine an overtake acceleration boost based in part on the velocity of the object and apply the overtake acceleration boost to the host vehicle.
