Best Automatic Cars in India - 2023

There are 4 Different Types of Automatic Cars - on Sale in India

» Torque Converter (as Essentially Conventional Automatic in 4 Speed to 7 Speed Automatic): As is Popular on Cars for Long. Here in - the Gears are Changed basis Set Speed and RPM Criteria. Been Ofcourse, higher the number of Gears - better the Mileage, Acceleration and Pep.

» CVT Automatic (aka IVT): With Infinite Gears, every Single Km of Speed has its Own Gear Ratio. Advantage of Mileage and Low End Drive-ability Output. Disadvantage for Enthusiast - where the Car just lags on feel of Sudden Surge 

» DCT Automatic (aka DSG) : Latest Technology, wherein it has dual Clutch - one each for Odd & Even Gear Shift. You upshift and downshift and gets an immediate response at almost less than 1 Milli Second. Popular in Diesel, Ideal for Enthusiast looking for Quick Performance Output  

» Auto Gear Shift (aka AMT): Although technically AMT are not Automatic, but basis fact that there is no Manual Clutch Pedal for Driver and Car changes gear on its own through Actuators - they are loosely been referred as Automatics. For Budget Friendly Technology, to give a feel of Automatic Cars as the Clutch Mechanism is governed by Actuator and Ideal for Day to Day City Drive. Disadvantage is - Lacks Smoothness of Conventional Automatic 



Also, for Convenience of Buyers in Manual Transmission - Hyundai and Kia India introduced IMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) where there is no clutch pedal, but gear shifts are done by Driver. Only added convenience is 

  • Freedom from Manual Clutch Pedal

No, CVT by definition is Continuous Variable transmission, which means the ratios can be adjusted continuously.
When they come with a paddle shifter (6/7 Spd normally), they fix 6/7 ratios for the speed.
