Maruti Suzuki India announced on Saturday that it has reduced the prices of its Auto Gear Shift (AGS) models. The company shared this news in an official statement, noting that the price cuts apply to several of its models, including the Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx, and Ignis.
The price reduction took effect immediately, starting from June 1, 2024. Although Maruti Suzuki did not explain the exact reason for this decision, the statement emphasized that the goal is to make the AGS variants more affordable for customers.
In the exchange filing, Maruti Suzuki stated, “The Company today announced a reduction in prices of its AGS (Auto Gear Shift) variants across its models.”
The prices have been cut by Rs 5,000 across various models. The company stated, “The prices of AGS variants across models (Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx & Ignis) have been reduced by Rs 5,000/-. The prices will come into effect from today i.e. 1st June, 2024.”
Auto Gear Shift (AGS) is an automatic transmission technology that combines the benefits of both manual and automatic transmissions. Maruti Suzuki introduced AGS in India in 2014. In AGS cars, gear shifts and clutch control are automated, meaning the driver doesn’t need to manually change gears.
This automatic transmission has an Intelligent Shift Control Actuator, operated by the Transmission Electronic Controller unit. This system can intelligently assess driving conditions and adjust gear shifts to improve driving performance.
Because both components are mounted in the car’s transmission unit, they ensure synchronized control of the clutch and smoother gear shifts. This helps AGS deliver better performance and improve the vehicle’s fuel efficiency.
By reducing prices, Maruti Suzuki aims to attract more customers to its AGS models, potentially boosting sales in a competitive market.
