Which mode is more fuel-efficient for a car with manual-automatic transmission?
1 Answers
For a manual-automatic transmission, the D (Drive) mode is the most fuel-efficient. If operated correctly, the M (Manual) mode can also be very fuel-efficient. Below is an introduction to the manual-automatic transmission: Introduction: A manual-automatic transmission combines manual and automatic shifting modes. This transmission integrates the advantages of both automatic and manual transmissions, minimizing power loss in the shifting system. The manual mode allows drivers to freely adjust gears and RPM according to their preferences, providing a thrilling and sporty driving experience with enhanced driving pleasure. Manual mode acceleration and overtaking techniques: Using manual mode for overtaking. Drivers familiar with automatic transmissions know that acceleration in automatic mode is not as responsive as in manual mode, especially when overtaking. In D mode, the speed does not increase rapidly even with heavy throttle input, as the transmission shifts sequentially. However, with a manual-automatic transmission, the situation is different. When accelerating to overtake, simply switch to manual mode without braking—just shift the gear lever into manual mode. Then, pressing the throttle firmly will result in a rapid speed increase, making overtaking smooth and effortless, with responsiveness comparable to a manual transmission.
