Q. Tiago AMT or Ignis AMT for city drive?

Both Tata Tiago AMT and Maruti Ignis AMT features AMT transmission. Automated Manual Transmission is the automation of the conventional manual transmission system. There is no big change in terms of design, basic principles in AMT as compared to a manual transmission. AMT only eliminates the driver’s effort for the operation of clutch and gear shifting selection as both are done automatically. In AMT, clutch and gear shifter-selector mechanism are operated by a hydraulically operated kit which is controlled by Transmission Control Unit. Shift shocks felt in manual transmissions are not eliminated in AMT. AMT provides a limited gear ratio i.e. 4/5/6 speed similar to a manual transmission. The Tata Tiago would be a better pick as the hatchback boasts brilliant build quality and the 4-stars in Global NCAP speaks highly about safety. But if you are looking for a small car with attractive styling, decent ride quality, and brilliant build quality then it could be a good option. On the other hand, Ignis gets a quirky design, it has a spacious interior, gets good standard safety tech, and a peppy petrol motor too. It gets considerable good ground clearance that helps it to tackle bad road conditions and it offers more commanding driving ergonomics. It is a great little quirky car that packs in a lot and will put a big smile on your face every time you see it in your garage. A smile big enough to justify that price.
