Engine & Performance

The iMT technology on the Kappa 1.0 l T-GDi Petrol BS6 engine gets mated to 6 Speed manual transmission with an electro-mechanically actuated clutch. Customers would find this clutch pedal free drive which is set to enhance drive experience as it offers the right balance of power performance and manual transmission along with seamless comfort and a 2 pedal transmission.

2020 Hyundai Venue Sport gets flat-bottom steering wheel (with red stitching) from Creta. DCT variant also gets paddle shifters.

Hyundai iMT technology sees the use of an intention sensor with gear lever that combines with a transmission control unit –TCU when the driver is about to change gears. This TCU then comes into play with a hydraulic actuator to engage and disengage the clutch plate as the driver shifts gears.

This system has certain benefits in the sense that it completely eliminates the need to manually operate a clutch pedal, thus reducing strain of start stop city driving in heavy traffic conditions. Hyundai also confirms that the new iMT technology will enhance fuel efficiency and performance as is also seen in torque converter automatic transmission.
