    At Rs 6.19 lakh (the Ritz auto is only available in one trim – VXi ABS), it is very expensive. And when you consider that this is a whopping Rs 92,000 more than the much better equipped manual ZXi variant, it becomes even harder to justify the asking price. Further making life difficult for Maruti is the fact that the Honda Brio is cheaper and comes with more standard features too. And let’s not forget, there will be a drop in fuel efficiency compared to the manual version.

    To conclude, the Ritz always made for a very good family hatchback thanks to its comfortable ride and compact dimensions, and now it has become more convenient too. The only downside is that the added convenience of the auto ‘box comes with quite a hefty price tag.
