Cars With Automatic Gearbox
Cars with automatic gearbox are the ones that can change gear ratios automatically as the car moves
. A car with automatic transmission gearbox can liberate the driver from having to shift gears manually. Though India is new to the Automatic Transmission (AT) technology, a clutch of carmakers in the country is slowly but steadily pushing the sales of automatic transmissions. A recent study has revealed that car owners nowadays prefer automatic transmission version compared to the manual transmission.Hyundai i10: Hyundai Motor India has introduced the i10 on November 2007. Since its inception in India, the car became an instant crowd-puller because of its looks, performance and mileage. Now the Hyundai i10 is the car companys flagship model in India, beating the Santro.
The i10 comes in two engine variants: 1.1L iRDE in-line 4-Cylinder and 1.2L Kappa in-line 4-Cylinder. The 5-speed manual transmission comes standard across all i10 models. However, the 4-speed automatic gearbox is available on the Kappa engine variants for a smooth shift in transmission. The Hyundai i10 is one of the best selling small cars that come with automatic transmission. The car is selling over 1,600 automatic transmission variants per month, which is much more than the companys initial estimates.
Hyundai Verna: The Korean car maker has introduced an automatic transmission variant in its Verna after witnessing the huge demand for the automatic variant of the Hyundai i10. Hyundai Motor India now says that the automatic version of the Verna premium sedan has boosted the sales of the Verna.
Honda Accord: According to Honda, 51 per cent of the Accord premium sedans sold in India today are fitted with automatic transmission. This perhaps explains the growing maturity of the Indian car buyer who have perhaps realised that choosing an automatic transmission gearbox no longer means big sacrifices in mileage and performance. Volkswagen Jetta: The Volkswagen Jetta is also one of the best selling luxury cars in India that comes fitted to an automatic gearbox. It comes in manual and automatic variants. The automatic version of the Jetta is preferred more by car buyers compared to the manual variant.
Mahindra Scorpio: Mahindra & Mahindra's flagship model, the Scorpio is available with both manual and automatic gearbox. The automatic version is available only in the top-end variant, it has been seen that the top-end variant sells more compared to the base one. The automatic transmission of the mighty Scorpio is fitted with user engaged and auto engaged modes for an excellent driving experience. Under the user engaged mode is the 'N' and 'W'. 'N' is the normal mode for ordinary driving conditions and 'W' is the winter mode that can be switched over to on icy and slippery roads to improve the car's stability. It also has an additional 'M' mode that is the manual/engine brake mode that utilizes braking force of the engine for enhanced control on steep descents.
