Traffic is an unavoidable aspect of commuting which adds to the stress of daily driving. That is why people have started going for cars with automatic transmission to reduce the fatigue that comes with driving in traffic. What was previously regarded as a luxury has now become a necessity in order to make driving more convenient.

Maruti Suzuki provides ground-breaking automatic transmission technologies that enable clutch and gear-free driving. As India’s largest car manufacturer, we have been at the forefront of the shift, offering a choice of automatic transmissions between AGS and AT for our consumers to choose from based on their needs.

AGS (Auto Gear Shift) is a clutch-free system developed by Maruti Suzuki that combines the advantages of manual and automatic transmissions. The transmission Electronic Controller Unit controls the AGS, which is made up of an Intelligent Shift Control Actuator. To improve gear changes, the system can intelligently analyse dynamic driving conditions. It removes the need for manual gear shifts (since gears are shifted electronically) while delivering excellent fuel efficiency that’s at par with manual versions. Available with supremely refined petrol engines, AGS is available in a number of models by Maruti Suzuki like the Celerio, Ignis, S-Presso, Swift, Dzire and WagonR. It is also available in the newly launched Baleno.

Automatic Transmission (AT) is a fully automated gearbox that automatically changes gear ratios. The torque converter (hydraulic coupling), planetary gear systems, and hydraulic controls make up the AT and there’s a separate wet clutch system is installed for each gear ratio. Great drivability is a distinct characteristic of the advanced AT transmission by Maruti Suzuki.

Automatic cars are indeed the sensible choice these days. Here is how they are making driving easier: -

• Convenient

AGS provides stress-free driving by eliminating the effort involved in manual gear shifts. The electronically regulated gear shifts provide consistent drivability in different driving conditions.

• Flexibility

When you pick AGS technology, you have the best of both worlds! Switch between automatic and manual driving modes with ease, depending on your driving preferences. When driving in congested areas, select the automatic mode and seamlessly switch to manual mode when you're in the mood for a more engaging driving experience, all with a simple shift of the gear lever.

• Efficiency

Maruti Suzuki’s range of automatic cars are tuned and optimized for Indian driving conditions to deliver great fuel efficiency figures. In fact, cars with AGS have been developed to have fuel efficiency figures that are at par with the manual versions, need less maintenance, and are long-lasting.
