Are All Mercedes-Benz Models Equipped with Column Shifters?

[KadenLee]

Older models do not feature column shifters. Most high-end Mercedes-Benz vehicles retain the column shifter design, while the C-Class and GLK series, along with a few high-end sports cars, do not adopt this design due to driving requirements. A column shifter is named for its operation where the gear lever is pulled towards the driver's chest. There are two types of gear lever arrangements in cars: floor-mounted shifters and column shifters. The gear lever located to the lower right of the steering wheel is referred to as a column shifter. Relevant information about automatic transmissions is as follows: 1. Introduction: An automatic transmission, as the name suggests, does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, arranged from top to bottom as: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the transmission, which is also a key factor affecting fuel consumption. Generally, automatic transmissions consume 10% more fuel than manual transmissions. Whether manual or automatic, the more gears a transmission has, the more fuel-efficient it is.
