The hatchback segment in the Indian market is the most important for all automakers and most of them give it supreme importance. Statistically speaking, Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, two of the bestselling car makers in the country, have a wide range of hatchbacks on sale and that is the reason why they are on top. With buyer power increasing day by day, car makers are offer more and more in hatchbacks in terms of features. One example of this is auto makers introducing automated-manual transmission or AMT versions of hatchbacks in India, something that did not happen earlier. Let’s take a look at some hatchbacks with AMT versions available.
Tata Nano GenX – Two variants of Tata Nano GenX, XMA and XTA, come with AMT transmission. This car is powered by a 624 cc engine capable of delivering an output of around 37 BHP at 5500 RPM and peak torque of 51 Nm. This car can reach a top speed of 105 kmph.
Maruti Suzuki Celerio – Among the latest Maruti Suzuki cars that have performed exceptionally well in the Indian market, Celerio is powered by a 1.0-litre K10 engine capable of delivering a power level of around 67 BHP. The AMT version of this car offers a mileage of around 23 kmpl, which is exceptional.
Maruti Suzuki Alto K10 – Arguably among India’s top three most popular cars, the Alto K10 is powered by the same engine powering the Celerio. The AMT version of Alto K10 offers a fuel economy of 24 kmpl and it has price range of Rs. 3-5 lakh. Not only this, this vehicle is much lighter than the older version, which improves its performance.
