What brand is the Hyundai Santa Fe transmission?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Hyundai Santa Fe is Powertech. Hyundai Powertech is a subsidiary of the Hyundai Motor Group specializing in transmission production. Currently, most Hyundai and Kia models on the market use transmissions manufactured by Hyundai Powertech. The Hyundai Santa Fe is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission with manual mode. The manual mode essentially adds manual shifting functionality to traditional AT or CVT transmissions, designed to enhance the driving pleasure of automatic vehicles. When using the Hyundai Santa Fe's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and housing; Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While some experienced drivers might coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so with automatic transmissions can cause overheating and create shocks when re-engaging D gear; Never shift into D/R gear before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage transmission gears and lead to grinding issues over time; Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D gear. Automatic vehicles may overheat under high load or shift prematurely when tackling steep inclines, reducing climbing power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission; Do not tow over long distances. If an automatic vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N gear rather than towing with a rope, as direct towing can damage the transmission.
