What do MT and AT mean in sedans?
1 Answers
MT and AT in sedans refer to manual transmission and automatic transmission, which are gear systems used to coordinate the engine's speed with the actual driving speed of the wheels, optimizing the engine's performance. The transmission creates different gear ratios between the engine and the wheels, allowing the engine to operate within its optimal power range through gear shifting. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the speed and torque transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels. It enables the car to achieve varying traction and speed under different conditions such as starting from a standstill, climbing hills, turning corners, and accelerating, while also keeping the engine operating within a favorable range.
