Do luxury cars come with both automatic and manual transmissions?
1 Answers
Luxury cars generally offer both manual and automatic transmission configurations for selection. Below is a comparison between automatic and manual transmissions: 1. Operation Difficulty: Manual transmissions primarily rely on the driver's physical effort to depress the clutch for gear changes; automatic transmissions mainly depend on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to automatically complete gear shifts. 2. Safety Aspects: The neutral gear in manual transmission vehicles causes a loss of power, posing potential safety hazards during driving; automatic transmission vehicles cannot use neutral gear while driving, making them comparatively safer. A manual transmission refers to manually shifting the gear lever to change the gear meshing device inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. An automatic transmission means the driver does not need to manually shift gears, as the vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions.
