Automatic gearboxes have been quite popular in India in recent years due to the convenience they provide in congested traffic circumstances. Even while most car owners still like manual gearboxes, automatic transmission usage is accelerating.
Due to its convenience in traffic, where drivers are forced to swap gears and press the clutch often, automatic transmission technology has seen an increase in demand, sales, and popularity in recent years. There are plenty of automatic gearbox technologies available in India, including AMT, CVT, AT, DCT, and others.
The following is a list of five cars under 10 lakh that have automatic transmissions.

Ignis has a 1.2-liter petrol engine with a peak power of 88 horsepower and a five-speed automatic transmission. The AMG is referred to as AGS by Maruti Suzuki.
