What is the difference between a 6-speed automatic and a 6-speed manual-automatic transmission?
2 Answers
Difference: The manual-automatic transmission car has two modes: automatic and manual, while the 6-speed automatic transmission is entirely controlled by the computer. Here are the relevant introductions: 1. Automatic transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission 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. Generally, there are six gear positions on an automatic transmission car, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. 2. Manual-automatic transmission: A manual-automatic transmission combines manual gear shifting and automatic gear shifting. The manual mode allows the driver to freely adjust the gear and RPM, providing a smooth and sporty driving experience, full of driving pleasure.
I've been driving for over a decade. A 6-speed automatic transmission is like a full self-driving assistant – you just need to press the accelerator and brake, while the transmission handles gear shifts automatically. It's comfortable and hassle-free, perfect for traffic jams or long journeys. However, the 6-speed automatic manual transmission adds a manual mode, allowing you to shift gears manually using the gear lever or steering wheel paddles. For example, you can downshift manually when climbing steep hills to give the car more power, or maintain a low speed manually when going downhill to better control speed and prevent brake overheating. If you're not using manual mode, it reverts to automatic transmission mode. Overall, the automatic manual transmission offers more flexibility, especially if you enjoy the thrill of manual shifting. But for city driving, a simple automatic transmission is sufficient and easier to handle.
