MT is the abbreviation for manual transmission, which requires the driver to manually switch gear ratios using the clutch pedal and gear shift lever. It has a simple structure and low maintenance costs, making it suitable for users who pursue a sense of driving control. However, frequent operation in congested road sections reduces convenience. iMT (Intelligent Manual Transmission) is an improved system developed by Hyundai. It maintains the sense of participation in manual shifting while reducing driving burden, and is currently applied to models such as the i20 and Venue. The Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) uses two sets of clutches working alternately-one responsible for odd gears and the other pre-engaging even gears. It has a shifting speed close to that of a manual transmission and high fuel efficiency, and is divided into two types: dry (poor heat dissipation but direct transmission) and wet (oil-cooled and more durable), suitable for driving scenarios that emphasize performance and smoothness. These three transmissions each have their own characteristics: MT emphasizes pure control, iMT balances fun and convenience, and DCT focuses on efficient power transmission. When choosing, it is necessary to consider personal driving habits and actual needs.
