Within a ₹9 lakh budget, you will typically find automatic cars with AMTs (Automated Manual Transmissions). These are functional but not very smooth, with noticeable pauses or jerks between shifts.
Among AMTs, the Maruti Suzuki Baleno is a good option. If you can stretch your budget by about ₹1 lakh, the Skoda Kylaq with its torque converter gearbox will provide a much smoother drive.
