Automatic transmission in hachbacks :

With the advancement in technology automatic transmission has brought a huge revolution in car making industry. With its availability many companies also started to adapt this system in their own models

Cars manufacturer’s like Audi, Honda, Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai has also started to manufacture cars with this feature.

But the question is whether it is profitable to bring auto transmission in low end hachbacks?

It’s a good idea but customers who want to buy a low end car would spend a extra 90- 95000 bucks for auto transmission

First of it’s a costly system to put in low end variant cars.

Second, its maintenance cost is very high compare to normal manual transmission cars

Third, it’s not good for Indian roads which have pits & holes very frequently

Fourth, auto transmission leads to decrease in fuel transmission

For low end variant hatchbacks, people expect high fuel efficiency and low maintenance cost which unfortunately the automatic transmission cars fail to give.

But in future with more advancement in technologies we can bring auto transmission system in low end variants hatchbacks.
