The no clutch and better performance is a huge plus, and I don’t think Indians truly realize it because most haven’t driven decent automatic cars.
There are absolutely NO good cars with CVT or DCT transmission under 10 lakh. There used to be one model, Maruti Baleno, but that’s now switched to AMT instead.
If I can get CVT-like performance (or really, much better) for under 10L, I’ll take it. The EV is just the cherry on top.
