The Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology from Maruti Suzuki has redefined automatic transmission in India, making it accessible to every car buyer across different segments. Launched in 2014, the technology offers greater driving comfort and is available in Maruti Suzuki automatic hatchback cars such as Celerio, Ignis, S-Presso, Swift and WagonR and is also available in the Dzire

How AGS works?

The AGS technology consists of an Intelligent Shift Control Actuator that electronically controls the gear changes. The system intelligently assesses the dynamic driving conditions and adjusts the gear shifts automatically to deliver optimal driving performance. With a synchronized control over the clutch, shifting, and engine, smoother gear changes are achieved which further lead to enhanced engine performance and fuel efficiency.

Users experience the convenience of two-pedal technology which is a common trait among different types of automatic transmissions, along with consistent performance and great fuel efficiency.

What makes AGS the ‘Automatic’ choice?

Made with a core focus to make driving easy, AGS has a lot of aspects going for it: -

Convenient & Flexible: By taking away the hassle of manual gearshifts, AGS introduces stress-free driving. It also allows you to easily switch between Automatic and Manual driving modes as per your requirements and driving conditions.

Economical: With optimised engine operation and precise gearshifts, Maruti Suzuki cars with AGS offer enhanced fuel efficiency that is at par with their manual counterparts. Further, the smooth operation of the engine allows for low maintenance and durability in the long run.

Creep Function: The Creep function in AGS makes it easy to tackle and drive in slow-moving, bumper-to-bumper traffic. All that you are required to do is lift your foot slightly off the brake pedal; the car will automatically move forward at low speeds on its own.

Kick-Down Function: This function automatically lowers the gears to provide better pick-up based on the driver’s inputs for responsive acceleration in both city and highway driving.

AGS is a type of automatic gearbox that makes driving easy in the true sense of the word. Shift to this automatic gear transmission system that lets you enjoy the convenience of an automatic and the fuel efficiency of a manual transmission!
