Diesel Automatics under INR  Lakh

The Diesel Automatic Cars Under 10 Lakh In India

With our city streets usually filled with traffic, our cars spend a good percentage of their life in the first and second gear. That implies a constant struggle with the clutch pedal, leading to a lot of stress and fatigue not only on you but also the car’s components. It is in such situations you wish to have an automatic transmission. The absence of the third pedal, indeed, takes away a lot of stress, making your traffic-filled commute that much more comfortable and convenient. Here is a list of some cars, powered by a diesel motor and offering an automatic gearbox, all priced under INR 10 Lakh. Most of the cars in this price bracket come fitted with a semi-automatic AMT gearbox, but some do come with a proper automatic too.

Maruti Suzuki Swift

The compact and sporty Swift hatchback from Maruti is offered with an optional 5-speed AMT gearbox. The AMT can be paired with both, the petrol and diesel engine offering a stress-free driving experience. The Fiat-sourced 1.3-litre oil burner is good for 74 hp and 190 Nm of torque.

  • Pros: Fun to drive, Inexpensive to maintain
