Driving has become very difficult because of the continual traffic that engulfs cities and towns alike. However, if you have an automatic transmission at your side, you may cruise through traffic while remaining completely at ease. Here are 7 automatic vehicles you can enjoy for less than 5 lakhs, with automatics becoming more accessible than ever.
The middle class in India has more purchasing power as a result of the country’s growing urbanization, which has increased automobile sales nationwide. However, as infrastructure in the nation has not kept pace with the surge in automobile sales, major Indian cities are experiencing severe traffic jams, and car owners are spending an increasing amount of time in their vehicles. The sale of automated cars in India has been rising in tandem with the growth in traffic. For a new, youthful buyer, comfort is key, and driving in traffic in a car with an automatic gearbox is relaxing.

3. Renault Kwid
The Renault Kwid has been Renault India’s most popular model in recent years. Packed with features, the little car quickly gained popularity in both urban and rural markets. The automobile was popular due to its SUV-like design and fuel efficiency, and with the introduction of the 1L engine on the Renault Kwid, the firm also launched the AMT gearbox. Instead of a gearshift to change gears, the Renault Kwid AMT has a rotary dial below the air conditioning controls. Renault Kwid AMT originally cost Rs 3.87 lakh, but is now also offered in an Avengers edition for Rs 4.64 lakh.
4. Tata Nano AMT
With the release of the Nano GenX model, which also has an AMT gearbox, Ratan Tata’s visionary automobile project, the Tata Nano, gained new wings. In India, the Nano is the most affordable automatic vehicle available. While the car may be an excellent choice if you’re searching for an affordable AMT model, Tata Nano sales haven’t been trending upward for a while. Tata Nano’s production is at an all-time low, which suggests that the product may soon be phased out. Currently, the Tata Nano AMT can be purchased for Rs 3.14 lakh from Indian dealerships.
