How does the AMT compare with traditional automatics?
Everyone from the car enthusiast to the everyday driver has talked about the Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) on the Baleno. Maruti calls this type of transmission as Auto Gear Shift (AGS), which promises an automatic experience with the efficiency of a manual. But its performance and driving experience are a topic of much debate. Complainers say there are jerky shifts and little acceleration, fans rave about the fuel efficiency and low maintenance costs. The debate often revolves around whether the quirks of the AMT are a fair trade off for its lower cost than traditional torque converter or CVT automatics. The real world performance of the Baleno's AMT is what many buyers, especially those new to automatics, will need to know before making that purchase.
I have driven AMT Baleno and a friend's CVT Honda and to be honest, the AMT is not bad for city driving. Yeah, it's a little jerky sometimes, but you get used to it and it's great on fuel.
