Ask anyone about what sort of car they are planning to buy, and the answer is most likely to be an automatic car. As of 2021, the sale of automatic cars is increasing. Since the automatic transmission has been introduced in family cars, Indians now prefer automatic cars over manual transmission cars. The reasons for this preference are endless. However, a car is a large investment. Therefore, you should ideally know all about automatic transmission, as you know about manual transmission. 


To help you do that, here are 3 important things to know about automatic cars:

1. Difference between AMT and CVT
There are two types of automatic cars that are available in India: automated manual transmission (AMT) and continuously variable transmission (CVT). The AMT cars work the same way as manual cars, even have the same gears. What separates them from manual transmission cars is that the system of changing gears is automated. This means you do not have to operate the clutch or the gear lever, the car will do it for you. CVT cars only have one gear but it’s variable. It uses belts and pulleys to shift speeds. AMT is the more popular of the two in the Indian automobile industry.

2. Fuel Efficiency
Automatic cars are not new in India. They have been here for a long time, but people didn’t buy it as much. The reason for this was low fuel efficiency. There is no point investing in a car if it burns a hole in your pocket to drive it regularly. However, the latest technological advancements have overcome this obstacle. Now, automatic cars are equally fuel-efficient as their manual transmission counterparts. Additionally, they are affordable. For instance, the difference in the Maruti Suzuki S Presso automatic price and its manual transmission counterpart is affordable.

3. They Are Best for New Drivers
One of the reasons why learning to drive is a herculean task for many is the multi-tasking involved. When a person had to drive, they had to pay attention to the road, steering wheel, gear, accelerator, clutch, and brake. This made learning to drive difficult. With automatic cars, you don’t have to worry about gears or clutch. All you have to pay attention to is the accelerator to push the car forward, brake to stop it, and the steering wheel to swerve and turn. This makes driving tremendously easy. In other words, anybody can be an excellent driver with an automatic transmission car.

The popularity of automatic transmission cars is increasing by the day. Every person wants to buy an automatic car. For many, it is the right choice. With driving becoming easier for everyone, we will see a lot more people who are ready to take their car to the street and drive confidently.
