A vehicular driving assistance system includes a plurality of sensors disposed at a vehicle and sensing respective regions exterior of the equipped vehicle. A plurality of microphones is disposed at the equipped vehicle and sense sounds emanating from exterior of the vehicle. An ECU, responsive to indication of an intended lane change of the equipped vehicle, and via processing of sensor data captured by at least one of the sensors, determines presence of another vehicle in an adjacent traffic lane. Responsive to determination of the presence of the other vehicle in the adjacent traffic lane, the ECU, via processing outputs of at least one microphone of the plurality of microphones, determines if the determined other vehicle is accelerating. Responsive to determination that the determined other vehicle is accelerating, the vehicular driving assistance system generates an alert to the driver of the equipped vehicle.
