Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which is better AMT OR CVT. When I search for best automatic car in India, Nissan micra with CVT is not listed. Why? Is it a good car to buy?
  • CVT is better. Nissan discontinued Micra in 2020
  • AMT is a technology, which takes away clutch operation from the car driver. Essentially it's the same manual gearbox requiring same pattern of servicing. Manual selection of gears are provisioned here.CVT doesn't have clutch and couples transmission & engine with torque converter. This torque converter is basically a fluid transmission and avoids engine stalling . Also, it provides few torque for creep motion and provides a good anti roll back action during uphill start. There is no j**k like thing and overspeeding of engine.Nissan offers CVT in Datsun GO, GO+ and Micra (not Micra active) with 1.2L petrol engine. It's one of the lowest price package of CVT in the market.
Q. Baleno, Swift and Micra which one is better?
  • Micra
  • I feel baleno
  • Micra is better
Q. Am looking for CVT hatchback car under 8 lakhs. I found micra is the only good option available meeting my requirements. Am not interested in second hand cars.Is it a good idea to buy Nissan Micra CVT now, as i heard they may discontinue the model and all.
  • Yeah , 2020 no micra Available
  • New gen micra is available in other countries i hope that will cmsoon in india waiting for that model
