What transmission does the Verna RV use?
2 Answers
The transmission manufacturer for the Verna RV is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned specialist in the research, development, and manufacturing of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The Verna RV is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission (6AT). The automatic transmission features eight forward gears. Essentially, the automatic transmission with manual mode is a traditional AT or CVT transmission augmented with manual shifting functionality. For the Verna RV's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged intervals without changing the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission models, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission models, this can cause overheating. Additionally, shifting back into Drive (D) can create a noticeable jolt. Avoid shifting into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for smooth operation, may shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding or other failures. Do not frequently climb steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or upshift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in a lower gear or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or towing the vehicle directly with another vehicle.
I've driven the Verna RV, which comes with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 6-speed automatic transmission, depending on the version you choose. The manual transmission offers a great sense of control, quick acceleration, and fuel efficiency, making it easy to handle in stop-and-go city traffic. The automatic transmission, on the other hand, is hassle-free, eliminating the need for frequent gear changes and making it much easier for novice drivers. The overall quality of the transmission is stable, thanks to Hyundai's years of proven technology, ensuring a smooth ride even on long trips. If I were to choose, I'd recommend regular checks of the transmission fluid, changing it every 30,000 kilometers to avoid wear and tear. In case of any issues, it's best to have the gears or clutch inspected at a 4S shop rather than attempting DIY fixes—safety first. When buying the car, be sure to check the configuration manual to confirm which drivetrain option suits your preferences.
