Are There More Manual or Automatic Transmission Cars?
1 Answers
Nowadays, mid-to-high-end cars are basically equipped with automatic transmissions or manual-automatic integrated models. Generally, commuter cars or vehicles that are not too expensive are mostly manual transmissions because automatic transmissions have higher costs for gearboxes and maintenance. 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 will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. Common automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Automatic Principle: The engine's power is transmitted through the gearbox, 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 there are, the more fuel-efficient the transmission is.
