The popularity of automated manual transmission is slowly increasing and this is reflected by the handsome sales number of Maruti Celerio. The company was the first one to introduce a low cost automatic and that is paying off pretty well. However, it is long known that to fulfill its dreams for launching more automatic cars, Maruti is mulling to bring the AMT to its other budget line-up of vehicles. And the most recent one is the WagonR/Stingray AMT that has been spied in near-production version. Although, there is no word about the launch date, but it is expected to take place in a couple of months.

The automatic transmission or the Auto Gear Shift, as Maruti calls it, will be offered with the Vxi trim like the Celerio AMT. Apart from these, the instrument cluster will be getting the gear shift indicator like Celerio AMT. The cars will be powered by the same 1.0-litre inline 3, producing 67 bhp of power and 90 Nm of torque.
