Auto Gear Shift (AGS) is an automatic transmission technology introduced by Maruti Suzuki in 2014. It combines the benefits of manual and automatic transmissions, featuring an Intelligent Shift Control Actuator operated by the Transmission Electronic Controller unit. This system automates gear shifts and clutch control without driver intervention, ensuring synchronized control of the clutch and smoother gear shifts, which enhances driving performance and fuel efficiency.

By reducing the prices, Maruti Suzuki aims to make its AGS variants more accessible to customers, potentially boosting sales in a competitive market.
