Maruti Suzuki intending to offer AMT in all its vehicles

As their tag line says it all, the brand Maruti is indeed the way of life, ever since it was tossed in the Indian market, it has always been a trustworthy and imperative name in the Indian vehicle market, so at the moment while AMT is gradually becoming the way of life, the brand aims at spreading its wings even further. Maruti Suzuki might roll out an AT (automatic transmission) model to pick from throughout its entire portfolio. The Indo-Japanese manufacturer at the moment provides an automated manual transmission for its entry level economical variants like the Celerio along with the Alto K10. The Ertiga, Dzire, Ritz and Ciaz are out in the market carrying a four-speed in the petrol models whereas the Baleno acquires a CVT. But the Alto 800, S-Cross and the Swift are still missing all the fun!

The company has planned that AT spec variants on a standard include 25 per cent of their entire number of sales and while the Celerio, being was the primary model to roll out this new technology, the AMTs contributes of more than 40 per cent of the total sales. As per recent reports by the folks at the brand, the company is intending to offer some form of two-pedal technology in this entire range of products in order to offer a better choice and option to choose from as per their needs and choices. As far as the Indian market is concerned, the portfolio currently acquires the S-Cross only with diesel units and so it seems a little NO for an AT option at the moment. The cost of the Alto 800 will climb up a little higher in case an AT option were offered hinting the much loved Maruti Swift to be equipped with an AT option. Since the Dzire is previously being offered with a four-speed AT, we consider that the Swift too would obtain this option likely to the most of the European markets
