Which dual-clutch automatic car is the cheapest to buy?

The demand for automatic transmission cars in the country has increased in recent years in the wake of increased traffic. This is largely due to the availability of cost effective AMT units and even CVT units which have encouraged people to switch to automatic cars. However, the AMT unit is not the appropriate gearbox option for drivers looking for engaging performance and quick shifting. This is where the Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) comes in. With smooth gear changes and a smooth ride, dual-clutch automatic transmissions are well suited for spirited drivers. Until a few years ago DCT gearboxes were not available with mass oriented vehicles (apart from a few options like VW Polo, Skoda Rapid etc.) but that has changed now with options like Hyundai i20 DCT and the recent launch Tata Altroz ​​DCA. launched yesterday, Altroz DCA is the cheapest car in the country with the option of a DCT gearbox. But how much cheaper is it than the i20 DCT? Let’s try to find out.
