Top Automatic cars in India

Checkout the list of the best automatic cars in india. Check out these top-ranked automatic car's prices, specifications, features, photos and more.

India is infamous for its traffic congestion. In cities like Delhi and Mumbai, the volume of cars on the road during peak work hours is intense, and as a result one has to drive in bumper to bumper traffic. In such conditions, constantly depressing and letting go of the clutch pedal may be a chore for some.

To counter this, cars with automatic transmissions have gained momentum because they minimise the driving fatigue in slow traffic. This has been further facilitated by the fast growing adaptation of the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) by car manufacturers. AMT while not the most advanced gearbox, has brought automatic transmissions into hatchbacks and thus within the budget many people.

Below are the top 5 automatic cars you can buy if you are sick of operating the clutch during traffic.

Maruti Suzuki Celerio

The Maruti Suzuki Celerio is a solid value for money proposition from the country’s largest car-maker. Buying and maintaining the Celerio is very easy on the wallet. For an automatic, the fuel economy figures are solid too. However, it’s not the most contemporary car in its class and the AMT, while fine for the price, feels unrefined.

Hyundai Grand i10

If a well-built hatchback is your priority, then the Hyundai Grand i10 perfectly fits the bill. The Grand i10 boasts a spacious cabin with class leading build quality. The 1.2 litre kappa engine is refined and very easy to drive.  The automatic transmission on this car is an old school 4-speed unit, thus fuel economy is nowhere the best.

Gearbox: 4-speed torque converter Automatic

Mileage: 17.49 km/l

 Renault Kwid AMT

The Renault Kwid is a stylish hatchback with a unique SUV inspired design. Not only does it look great on the outside, its interior is pretty feature packed with segment first goodies like a touch-screen infotainment system. Engine has good grunt too, and it’s one of the cheapest automatic cars in India. However, with Renault, after sales support will not be as good as Maruti or Hyundai.

Gearbox: 5-speed Automated Manual Transmission

Mileage: 25.10 km/l

Volkswagen Ameo AMT

 

The Volkswagen Ameo AMT is the most competitively priced VW one can buy in India. it features the typical Volkswagen solid build quality and a torquey 1.5 litre TDi diesel engine.
