Driving an automatic transmission car is definitely easier when compared to manual, especially while driving in busy areas as it frequently requires gear changing at the traffic lights and junctions. We all know, Hyderabad roads are fully congested in peak hours and it feels like bothersome and frustrating to drive in such a heavy traffic. Hence the demand for Diesel AT cars is increasing as more people are opting for them instead of traditional manual transmission to ensure a stress free driving experience.
It is easy to get petrol automatic transmission cars at affordable prices whereas diesel ATs have very limited models with fair price tags. One of the main reasons is the diesel engines are costly to manufacture than petrol. Further, contemporary diesel engines e.g. common rail direct injection (CRDI), which are used in diesel cars have more expensive components than their similar counterparts in petrol. As the overall production cost is higher, there are very limited models of diesel AT cars in the market at affordable prices. Apart from the high end models, below given are the list of some diesel AT cars which you can buy in Hyderabad with reasonable price tags.
