Hyundai Venue is the first SUV in India to get a clutchless manual iMT gearbox which will come with its 1.0 Litre turbo petrol engine.
Hyundai has launched the iMT gearbox for Venue sub compact SUV, starting at Rs 10 Lakhs. This is India’s first clutchless manual gearbox, that is something actually something unique. The Venue iMT is for those who want to experience the manual gearshifting experience but without hurting their left knee.
Depending on the pressure on accelerator and the throttle input, the system will show when to perfectly change the gears. It is a 6-speed manual gearbox with an electro-mechanically actuated clutch. Looks like the working will be different from an AMT gearbox, but we will get to know once we drive it.
