The Triber Emotion AMT is powered by a 1-litre petrol engine delivering 72 PS and 96 Nm, paired with a 5-speed AMT gearbox. Unfortunately, if you had your eyes set on automatic Triber, you have no other choice but to pick the top-spec variant, giving buyers limited flexibility.

However, Tata also offers the Nexon with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (DCT), for which you need to consider higher variants. 

The Tata Nexon also comes with a 1.5-litre diesel engine, which is offered with a 6-speed AMT as well. Speaking of which, the Nexon’s closest rival is the new Hyundai Venue and here are some features the latter offers over its Tata rival.
