Maruti Suzuki has reduced the price of its vehicles equipped with Auto Gear Shift. The automaker announced the price drop in an official statement, saying that it applies to various models, including the Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx and Ignis. The price drop happened on Saturday, although the actual reason for the move was not revealed.
Most likely, the price reduction was made to make the AGS models more affordable. All AGS vehicles now have a ₹5,000 price reduction.
In an exchange filing, Maruti Suzuki said, “The Company today announced a reduction in prices of its AGS (Auto Gear Shift) variants across its models. The prices of AGS variants across models (Alto K10, S-Presso, Celerio, Wagon-R, Swift, Dzire, Baleno, Fronx & Ignis) have been reduced by ₹5,000/-. The prices will come into effect from today i.e. 1st June, 2024.”
AGS is essentially an AMT, or Automated Transmission, with an Intelligent Shift Control Actuator controlled by the Transmission Electronic Controller unit. The technology connects and disengages the clutch and changes the gears based on the driving conditions.
The company has recently marked a milestone by launching its 5,000th service touchpoint in India. The latest service centre opened in Gurugram, Haryana. The company stated that this development is in line with Maruti Suzuki’s goal to provide its customers with a smooth automobile ownership experience. Maruti Suzuki has expanded its service network to 2,500 cities throughout the country.
