Maruti Suzuki makes AGS models' THIS much cheaper

Maruti Suzuki, one of India’s leading car manufacturers, has announced a significant price reduction for its Auto Gear Shift (AGS) variants across several popular models. The reduction, effective June 1, 2024, is intended to make a variety of AGS vehicles more accessible to consumers in a competitive market. 

What is Auto Gear Shift (AGS) technology?

Introduced by Maruti Suzuki in 2014, AGS combines the benefits of manual and automatic transmissions. It automates gear shifts and clutch control without driver intervention, ensuring synchronised clutch control and smooth gear shifts. This improves driving performance and fuel efficiency. 

The ₹5,000 reduction applies to all AGS variants, including Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx, and Ignis. The move is expected to boost Maruti Suzuki's sales, where automatic transmissions are gaining popularity. With AGS technology, Maruti Suzuki aims to provide its customers with a hassle-free driving experience. 

AGS offers a range of features, including an intelligent shift control actuator operated by the transmission electronic controller unit. This system ensures synchronised control of the clutch and smooth gear shifts, making it an attractive option for customers looking for a seamless driving experience. 

In a statement, Maruti Suzuki said, “The company today announced a reduction in the price of its AGS (Auto Gear Shift) variants across its models. The prices of AGS variants across models (Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx & Ignis) have been reduced by ₹5,000. The prices will come into effect from today, i.e. 1st June 2024.”
