My review of the Sonet facelift 😃 ua-cam.com/video/mJL28GZjgew/v-deo.htmlsi=pucmnty4ZgAavszN And the full review of the KIA Sonet IMT: ua-cam.com/video/O0hctAFqU9c/v-deo.html
Really nice video!! Thanks a lot. Nobody really talked about iMT like this. Have a few questions. 1. U explained how the clutch gets disengaged and engaged while starting and stopping. What about when your shifting while driving ? Does the clutch only engage when u move the gear lever? So if it’s in 1st gear and you change to 2nd does the clutch engage after you’ve moved the gear because it should engage before you move the gear right? And after shifting when does the clutch engage? Only when you throttle? 2. You said half clutch thing about creeping is bad. That holds good for all automatic transmission tight? The creep function in every car is bad for the clutch right? But in heavy traffic there’s no other option. But to use the creep function.
Aren't you the same person who's angry with me on the Shumi expose video? 😂 You also shat on the Skoda Kushaq video. You should have ideally also gotten butthurt in this one too as even this one contains a reference to one of your favourites 😊
Wow what a explanation thank you sir even I have purchased kia Sonet Htk plus IMT Clear White on 15th august 2022 did not know about this how it’s work and what’s do and don’t even Kia officials Kai salesperson did not know in this much details you are god of automobile sector in UA-cam for me as of now really kudos for doing such nice work subscribing you and sharing it
Very good explanation!! When driving in bumper to bumper traffic, my understanding is that when the car stalls, it would be good to move to neutral. When the car moves, then only move to 1st gear and press accelerator. Is this right?
If you are on a very steep slope in 1st gear, whats the maximum slip you can get? Will the clutch allow the engine to rev up to 4000 rpm also if needed? Or will the vehicle just stay in 1 place without moving. Or if you are badly stuck in an off-road situation. Also is there preset rev limit the system follows above which it will not slip the clutch eg no slip more than 2500rpm or some thing is it fully flexible? (more applicable for less powerful cars I know). Because 1 advantage of manuals is that you can really multiply engine power substantially for short periods like that.
Actually the car doesn't stall at all. You can just release the brake in the first or second gear, even without the accelerator and it crawls at a slow speed , and this is very helpful in bumper to bumper traffic.
@@sahilbajaj9028 From Neutral to First gear: Foot on the brake, engage gear, leave brake, accelerate. Same for neutral to reverse. All other gears UPSHIFTING: foot OFF the brake, leave throttle momentarily while changing the gear, accelerate. Downshifting: foot OFF the throttle, and on the brake because you are slowing down. The brake pressure will depend upon how quickly you want to slow down. Hope this helps! 😃
Bahut achhe tarah se aapne samzaya dhanyawaad maine kia carnes li hai aapka video dekhne ke baad muze ab traffiic driving me kya karna chahiye ye samaz aaaya
During a high speed if you want to apply break in IMT, can we change the gear to neutral and then apply break ? Is this a better approach or directly apply the break without think of ur current gear
You NEVER put the car in neutral during braking! Just apply the brakes, let it come down to a complete halt, then thank God that you are alive, and then carry on. Hope this helps 😊
Hey brother you have explained very well and indepth, I am going to buy 2nd hand venue imt I just want to know is this technology repairable easily or need to change whole transmission if any issue. Thankyou
Correct. Very informative video. Same thing I am experienced with my Kia carens prestige iMT. Giving slight acceleration after releasing brakes makes vehicle gear transmission more smoother. I also got a good average of 17-20 with the help of this technique.
I have recently purchased gravity imt yesterday my vehicle bumped onto pillar on slope when i was going down reason: i had to take reverse to take left but when i put reverse gear and pressed acceleration on slope it didnt even took acceleration amd vehicle touched pillar Can you please tell me y it happened even when i have hill hold and hill assist? same is the case in first gear, vehicle pn pressing accelerator is not moving which causing pain in bumper traffic when we have some hill or bump but mainly yesterday i suffered this reverse thing and bumped into pillaar my 3 days old carens
@RealAutoReviews I had to creep the car in bumper to Bumper traffic . And transmission became hot. I could not stop the car for cooling down as was on express way. There is 15 k fine in case of stopping the car . I tried what ever you said still got this problem. Could you tell me what is cost of repairing the transmission?
Very good explanation. I have had multiple occasions in my KIA Sonet IMT where I get the warning for transmission overheated and to park the car with engine on and in neutral gear. In Bangalore I encounter Bumper to Bumper traffic a lot of times where in the traffic never stops moving so you can't stop moving and need to constantly movE little by little. So like you said I keep moving little by little in 2nd gear (Sometimes 1st) but there is not enough gap between me and the car in front to actually press the Accelerator. So as per your explanation this is where the car still keeps clutch engaged since I'm not /cannot hit accelerator and transmission overheats. I contacted KIA service guys and only advice they could provide is to put the car on neutral whenever I get the chance but even this is difficult to do in the slow moving bumper to bumper traffic. This is the only headache with IMT :(
Check the actuator oil while you service without miss, or else you'll encounter actuator problem resulting to actuator changing circumstances. Actuator cost around 1.3 lakhs.
@@RealAutoReviews sometimes in gear when on hilly areas but my father always parks the car in gear in manual transmission so should we do the same with IMT or does it damage or harm something
When stopped at a slope and there is risk of car moving backwards if brake is not pressed, that time should we keep the gear in neutral and keep brake pressed or 1st gear and brake pressed?
Lesson I learnt - shd not drive with partial braking which we generally do at 1st & 2nd gears. Dct is costly and iMT has solved most of the problems in heavy traffic or overtaking in highways
Hello, I am facing problem with the first gear in manual transmission. Will it be helpful for me to go for iMT ? is it easy to drive than MT ? Please guide me
Pl kindly answer. I have a habit of driving with my left hand on the gear lever. Will this be a problem with Imt? Will the clutch get engaged even if we rest a hand on the gear lever?
Hi Just about to receive my Sonet iMT but am driving iMT seltos already. So just always had a question in my mind that normally we have this habit of driving with the left hand resting on gear liver. Is it unsafe to do so in iMT keeping clutch engagement and disengagement in mind?
Hey hi.. nice video tho, just a doubt, how will it do partial disengagement? When i am putting leg on brake, machine should automatically start pushing clutch if reqd. But when i am pressing the accelerator clutch should not function anymore right.. why this concept of disengagement then. I am talking about this car only, sonet htk plus imt
See, it's pretty simple really if we understand how a clutch works. Engagement is gradual in first gear, and I don't know why people forget that. That's why I made this video 😃 Hope it helps!
Great explanation. But it is mentioned in the sun visor of Sonet iMT that "Avoid changing gears while pressing brake pedal". In this video, you are changing gear while pressing brake pedal. Wont it hamper the transmission? Please explain the mechanism if known to you.
Glad to help! Also, someone asked the same question and I did explain to him the reason behind the warning. Please scan the comments and you shall find the answer 😃

Hi Thanks for your explanation about iMT. I have KIA Seltos HTK+ iMT.Almost a year old. So far so good. Ran around 13000+Km. Today, I was driving bumper to bumper heavy traffic in Bangalore, suddenly display the warning says that Transmission unit get heated up, so safe to stop the vehicle. Very first time I am getting that warning.Then after few distance drove and stopped the car aside and off the engine for 10 minutes. Immediately called the KIA service centre over phone and asked about this warning. They said, nothing to worry. Don't keep engage in gear while stopping in the traffic. Bring it neutral and apply break. But this explanation, I am not convinced. Do I do some mistake of wrong driving or isiMT has some issues developing after some usage. I am worried. Please advise, how to handle iMT.Thanks
@@poopathiks i think its because of continuously applying break in bumper traffic , when we need to stop move to neutral and when we are moving then make it in first grear
I had similar experience in off roading at steep hilly area after driving for ~45 mins, hard acceleration and frequent gear shifts 1&2. Nothing to worry, this happens when you shift gears too often b/w 1 &2 for long time. Transmission gets heated and shows warning. Just try to avoid changing gears frequently in these scenarios, either keep driving at 1 or 2 gear only. If warning comes, park at side , keep engine turned on wait for 10-15 mins. It will be normal again
Bhai, agar mai 4th gear pe hu and I have to shift down. What's the recommended process 4th to 3rd then 2nd then 1st gear. Or from 4th we can directly come to 2nd or 1st?
Not a sequential gearbox. Therefore, depending upon the situation, you may come down to any gear you want, not just from 4th, but even from 5th and 6th 😃
I’m thinking to buy sonet imt sir but as I’m a beginner who knows don’t know how to drive a manual. Buying this car will be good option for me or I should opt for manual ?
Thanks for this wonderful video. Dear just tell me one thing, I have noticed a lag between 2nd and 3rd gear i.e. when I shift from 1st to 2nd, I experience a very irritating lag. And the same I experience in 2nd to 3rd. After that it's smooth. What should I do? Sometimes it seems that pickup is not good when there are 4-5 passengers in the car. Should I visit service center? Please advise, I will be grateful. Thanks.
Most welcome, doc! And I would need you to elaborate on the issue because I do not know what speeds are you shifting at, among other things. Can you make a short (under 30-second video) and share it with me on Instagram? Then I will be able to tell whether it's normal or do you need to take it to the service center. And if you are in Delhi/NCR, I will be happy to check your vehicle in person. 😃
Hi.. How is drive power difference between sonet 1.2 petrol MT and 1.0Turbo petrol IMT. What is the mileage difference between both in city as well as highway. Is it a good decision to go for IMT than 1.2 petrol MT just for power difference. How is the life of IMT and problem occurring frequency. Is it easy to adapt for new driver with IMT. At what RPM turbo of 1.0Turbo petrol IMT come into action.
@@harshchagar I would take the Sonet 1.2 manual. I was driving the Camry Hybrid and I still had to put a lot of effort to chase a girl driving the Sonet 1.2 manual. Stopped her, exchanged numbers. Will try to connect with her for an ownership experience video for you all 😃
One question, i have a habit to keep my hand on the gear knob while driving. Now with that sensor being there, will it detect my hand as an intent to change gear and will engage the clutch??
No. However, you shouldn't be keeping your hand on the lever for another reason which I have explained several times to people here in the comments section. Check it out 😊
jab hum normal gear change karte hain from 1st to second and so on, then in manual we always leave the race padel and change the gear. In IMT when we have to change the gear, do we have release the race padel or not
Can we downshift while pressing the brakes? Eg: Can we downshift from 3 to 2, while we are slowing down the car by applying brakes? Basically, is it okay to downshift when brakes are pressed??
@@RealAutoReviews Yes But in the booklet of the car there is a caution that says - not to press brake pedal by mistake during gearshift. I think they probably mean to say that - dont use the brake like clutch by completely pressing it suddenly
@@imprakrut No no, that's not what it means. People coming from manual transmissions initially tend to press the brake pedal from the LEFT foot while shifting from 1st to 2nd. Muscle memory! That's why the manual says to NOT press the brake pedal while shifting gears. It's primarily for upshifts. Hope this helps 😃
Very good bht sahi explain kiya My quest. Is. Sonet imt jyada acha hai long term ke liye ya brezaa automatic dono cars same price segment me hai konsi leni cahiye
Hello sir, great explanation of imt. Very informative. I have question. In case of driving in 6th gear and i want release the gear to neutral (without any braking) and coast along. Is it possible!? And if it is possible, is it good for longevity of imt.

@@bhagyalakshmi658 you're most welcome, ma'am. You'll be pleased to know that this video was made in the Sonet IMT itself 😃 And, yes, you have my green signal for the Sonet IMT HTK. All the best and keep me posted 😃
What will happen if i try to dowmshift while breaking..
Nothing. That is the correct way to brake/downshift 😃
What about Hill Hold Assist because in bumper to bumper traffic on bridge many cars are moving to back and it's Very stressfull to driving in upward direction..... please explain... Thanks a Lot!! 🙏🏻💐
I didn't understand your question. What exactly do you want me to explain about Hill Hold? 🤔
@@RealAutoReviews hi, ब्रिज के चढ़ाई में या पहाड़ी रोड के चढ़ाई में अगर बंपर टू बंपर ट्रैफिक होने पर यह iMT car कैसे काम करती है या इसमे Hill Hold Assist जैसा प्रिमियम गाड़ीमे दियाहुवा नया फिचर दिया हुवा है। गाड़ी फर्स्ट गियर में उठाते वक्त अगर ढलान हो तो यह नई iMT ट्रांसमिशन वाली गाड़ियां पीछे कि तरफ आती है या नहीं। आम गाड़ियों में इस दौरान क्लच और ब्रेक से गाडी को आगे बढ़ाना पड़ता है।
can you suggest on how to drive iMT in traffic, any suggestion??
I have in the video 😃
@@RealAutoReviews okay I asking for how to drive in bumper to bumper traffic, where only creep mode will be working.
Hi, what is your feedback about the suspension and ride comfort of Sonet. Heard a lot of people saying its very bad. :(
You must watch my review video! 😃
Hi Thanks for your explanation about iMT. I have KIA Seltos HTK+ iMT.Almost a year old. So far so good. Ran around 13000+Km. Today, I was driving bumper to bumper heavy traffic in Bangalore, suddenly display the warning says that Transmission unit get heated up, so safe to stop the vehicle. Very first time I am getting that warning.Then after few distance drove and stopped the car aside and off the engine for 10 minutes. Immediately called the KIA service centre over phone and asked about this warning. They said, nothing to worry. Don't keep engage in gear while stopping in the traffic. Bring it neutral and apply break. But this explanation, I am not convinced. Do I do some mistake of wrong driving or isiMT has some issues developing after some usage. I am worried. Please advise, how to handle iMT.Thanks
Sir did you get any explanation for this, please share, I'm planning to buy imt htx plus
Hi
I also had the same issue few days back.
Can anyone explain the reason and remedy?
@@poopathiks i think its because of continuously applying break in bumper traffic , when we need to stop move to neutral and when we are moving then make it in first grear
@@amitgulhane-nd5rr but this is not possible in bumper to bumper traffic. This is where the issue is
I had similar experience in off roading at steep hilly area after driving for ~45 mins, hard acceleration and frequent gear shifts 1&2.
Nothing to worry, this happens when you shift gears too often b/w 1 &2 for long time. Transmission gets heated and shows warning.
Just try to avoid changing gears frequently in these scenarios, either keep driving at 1 or 2 gear only.
If warning comes, park at side , keep engine turned on wait for 10-15 mins. It will be normal again
bahut hi khoobsurat tarike se samjhaya h apne...
Shukriya bhai! Glad to know ki tumhe pasand aaya 😃
Any minus point for kia sonet imt?.?
You must watch the review video as well, Ms. Shah. Thereafter, if any of your queries aren't answered, I shall personally answer them. 😃
Carens manual or imt, suggest me which one is best for long run and do have good resale value!!?
The manual 😃
@@RealAutoReviews thank you for the reply ☺️
@@itsmeeeeeeeeee877 all the best and keep me posted 😃
Does Imt have an adverse effect on mileage?
Fully manual model provides higher average as compared to IMT?
No adverse affect. But, yes, a regular manual would be more frugal. But again, you can't get this engine with a regular manual transmission.
Hi Sir, between Baleno AMT and Sonnet IMT which is better for city drive
Haven't tested the Baleno as yet. Let me review it and shall then get back to you on it 😃
@@RealAutoReviews thank you
We are planning to buy kia seltos imt used 2yrs old , can you please suggest
@@pritivaishnavpv suggest what? 😃
@@RealAutoReviews suggest if we should go for it or sonet automatic would be better
@@pritivaishnavpv the automatic (Torque Converter) would be better
Should i go for breeza petrol or sonet disel
Both are good vehicles. Choose the one YOU like more! 😃
Bhai, agar mai 4th gear pe hu and I have to shift down. What's the recommended process 4th to 3rd then 2nd then 1st gear.
Or from 4th we can directly come to 2nd or 1st?
Not a sequential gearbox. Therefore, depending upon the situation, you may come down to any gear you want, not just from 4th, but even from 5th and 6th 😃
@@RealAutoReviews thank you so much
Subscribe kar lena, else paap lagega 😁
@@RealAutoReviews done bhai
Gear change time par acceleration se per uthayen ya halki acceleration mein gear change kar sakte hain. Kyunki usme lag kum milta hai
Har baar pair uthao smooth shifting ke liye. Fully manual gaadi mei jaise karte hain shift. 😊
Can I switch to Neutral position from top and low gears while in traffic?
Not only you can, but you MUST! 😃
Confusion clear ho gaya. best video
Shukriya brother ❤️ Hope subscribe kar lia hoga 😃
@@RealAutoReviews yes
Gear lever ko only pakad kar rakhane se clutch dis engege hoga ya nhi
Neeche comments mei thoda dhoondo, ek thread mei poora samjhaya hai kya hota hai kya nahi 😃
Thank you, you made the whole mechanism really simple to understand. :)
Glad to hear that bro 😃❤️
I’m thinking to buy sonet imt sir but as I’m a beginner who knows don’t know how to drive a manual. Buying this car will be good option for me or I should opt for manual ?
@@desidoctorr I would recommend that you get a proper.manual 😃
Hello sir...IMT m brake aur race paddle dono right leg se hi operate karne hote hai?. Left leg free rahega completely?
Haan 😊
I just want to say one thing ….
Thanks bhai for the informative video
You are most welcome brother ❤️
Bhai normal mt ke muqable imt ki life zyada hai ya kam or up hill or down hill hold pe bhi vdo bana o
Normal MT se zyada kisi gearbox ki life nahi.
Theek hai, uska bhi video banaate hain 😃
@@RealAutoReviews thanx bro 🤜🤛keep it up
@@rnz2923 thanks bro ❤️
Thanks much! Going to book Sonet IMT, so this info was very useful 🙏🏻
@@anamorphist most welcome! All the best and keep me posted 😃❤️
Thanks for this wonderful video.
Dear just tell me one thing, I have noticed a lag between 2nd and 3rd gear i.e. when I shift from 1st to 2nd, I experience a very irritating lag. And the same I experience in 2nd to 3rd. After that it's smooth. What should I do?
Sometimes it seems that pickup is not good when there are 4-5 passengers in the car. Should I visit service center? Please advise, I will be grateful. Thanks.
Most welcome, doc! And I would need you to elaborate on the issue because I do not know what speeds are you shifting at, among other things. Can you make a short (under 30-second video) and share it with me on Instagram? Then I will be able to tell whether it's normal or do you need to take it to the service center. And if you are in Delhi/NCR, I will be happy to check your vehicle in person. 😃
Hi.. How is drive power difference between sonet 1.2 petrol MT and 1.0Turbo petrol IMT.
What is the mileage difference between both in city as well as highway.
Is it a good decision to go for IMT than 1.2 petrol MT just for power difference.
How is the life of IMT and problem occurring frequency.
Is it easy to adapt for new driver with IMT.
At what RPM turbo of 1.0Turbo petrol IMT come into action.
@@harshchagar I would take the Sonet 1.2 manual. I was driving the Camry Hybrid and I still had to put a lot of effort to chase a girl driving the Sonet 1.2 manual. Stopped her, exchanged numbers. Will try to connect with her for an ownership experience video for you all 😃
@@harshchagar also watch my review of the Sonet IMT
One question, i have a habit to keep my hand on the gear knob while driving. Now with that sensor being there, will it detect my hand as an intent to change gear and will engage the clutch??
No. However, you shouldn't be keeping your hand on the lever for another reason which I have explained several times to people here in the comments section. Check it out 😊
jab hum normal gear change karte hain from 1st to second and so on, then in manual we always leave the race padel and change the gear. In IMT when we have to change the gear, do we have release the race padel or not
Can we downshift while pressing the brakes? Eg: Can we downshift from 3 to 2, while we are slowing down the car by applying brakes? Basically, is it okay to downshift when brakes are pressed??
Of course! In fact, THAT is how ideally you should be downshifting 😃
@@RealAutoReviews Yes
But in the booklet of the car there is a caution that says - not to press brake pedal by mistake during gearshift.
I think they probably mean to say that - dont use the brake like clutch by completely pressing it suddenly
@@imprakrut No no, that's not what it means. People coming from manual transmissions initially tend to press the brake pedal from the LEFT foot while shifting from 1st to 2nd. Muscle memory! That's why the manual says to NOT press the brake pedal while shifting gears. It's primarily for upshifts. Hope this helps 😃
@@RealAutoReviews Thanks for prompt and detailed explanation! 👍🏻👏🏻 😀
@@imprakrut You are most welcome! Hope I earned a subscription from you 😃
Very good bht sahi explain kiya
My quest. Is. Sonet imt jyada acha hai long term ke liye ya brezaa automatic dono cars same price segment me hai konsi leni cahiye
@@Bharat-k4v3e iMT na le ke Sonet manual le lo. Brezza maine test nahi kari hai, but jahan tak idea hai, reliable gaadi hai. ..
Thanks for reply
But manual nahi leni
Konsa transmition le problem na aye
@@Bharat-k4v3e TC or CVT
Dost i am planning to buy seltos g1.5 HTK+ IMT Petrol(2023). Need an advise.
Haan poocho bro 😃
Milage reduce or increase in imt
During gear shift should we continue accelerating car?
No. You should not. 😃
Imt mai gearshift karne ke time accelerater chodna padta hai ya dba ke rakhne pai bhi gear dal jata hai
Dono tareeke se gear dal jaayega, but race chhoro like in a manual, jo sahi tareeka hai.
@@RealAutoReviews but race chod ke gear dalte hai to thoda lag sa feel hota hai
@@gaurav9541 ok
Need to talk regarding imt have some queries with imt
Please list your queries here, and I will answer them here itself. Would be helpful for other viewers as well if they have the same questions 😃
Hello sir, great explanation of imt. Very informative.
I have question. In case of driving in 6th gear and i want release the gear to neutral (without any braking) and coast along. Is it possible!? And if it is possible, is it good for longevity of imt.
It won't harm or benefit the gearbox but it is DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS for your safety. Please don't do that EVER.
Sir heavy traffic me clutch ko engage rakhne ke liye accelerator aur brake dono use karna hoga taki clutch khrab na ho......lekin traffic me accelerator kaise de sakte hai???
Nahi nahi, bas rukne ke ekdam baad neutral kar do.
Sir hill assist kya activate karna padta hai ya automatic activate hota hai
Jis gaadi mei hai usme auto activation. Jisme nahi hai usme handbrake zindabad.
Well explained sir, mera querry hai imt diesel me jo mai liya hu, display 1700rpm pe gear shift karne bolta hai, kya ye sahi ya 2000rpm tak le chalu har gear shifting please reply kijiye - Gopalsingh Mumbai
Haan haan, bindaas, koi dikkat nahi 😃
Planning to buy seltos turbo as am a driving enthusiast want performance,bt living in delhi its my secondary car for my family purpose nd for office purpose i use hatcback .... I wnt to retain seltos for 12-13 years ,so Which transmission i prefer perfer dct or imt ,my preference is dct ,is it reliable for 13 years.. nd wat is d cost of dct if it fails..plz rply
I can't recommend the DCT/DSG in India. The IMT is also not the best transmission . Manual, TC, and CVT are.
Gear change karne me harbar brake dabana parta hein kya?
Nahi bhai 🤦 le li hai ya lene ki soch rahe ho? Aur isse pehle manual kitne din chalai hai?
Kea sir imt ko manual cluch modify kay Kary Kia carns 2023 model may with clench padal complete manul
Kyon karana jab already full manual gearbox waali KIA Carens aati hai??
If I rest my left hand on the gear lever without changing the gear, will the clutch be engaged. Wanted to understand how the intention sensors work.
Go through the comments. Have answered this question more than once 😃
IMT mei gadi halki incline me piche chali jati hai? If i am not wrong
Ispe bhi video banaya hai. Kal shaam ya Sunday subah tak saare answers de dega wo video incline waali baaton pe 😃
I face issues with my left leg, so planning amt or dct, iMT lena thik hoga kya long run k liye, wife chala payengi ye car yes or maybe?
Unko manual aati hai chalana? If yes, then aankh band karke le liye. Else, aapko sikhani hogi 😃
innovative info I got from this video and found very useful too, just a question...what will be best practice to follow by driver for this IMT variant to derive best mileage and better engine life too
Thank you so much. The best practice would be to follow what I said in the video. 😃
i have booked kia carens gravity imt i am confused should i spend 3.5 lacs more for automatic variant ? any disadvantage of imt i am changing my car because of clutch burn issue keep in mind
@@yashchoudhary2196 Does the Carens now come with AT?? Earlier it used to come only with either an IMT or a DCT. This video applies to both those transmissions. If at all it comes with a Torque Converter now, that's the transmission you should get.
@@RealAutoReviews I've booked the car but haven't purchased it yet. I previously had another car that I used for more than 10 years, but I had a clutch burn issue with it. Should I go for an IMT or an automatic transmission?
This i asked to you
Carens has 4 transmission options.
Manual,
Imt,
DCT(Petrol),
TC(Diesel).
Above prestige optional there is no manual gearbox.
@rahulagrawal64 the manual and TC are the best options.
I have a question. What happens when you are on Reverse gear or on 1st gear and you switch off the engine by mistake. The gear will go on a lock but how would you start the engine, Since its not on a gear.
What do you mean by "the gear will go on a lock"
Can I apply Brakes when changing Gears
Elaborate please!
@@RealAutoReviews I have seltos imt, so when I have to change the gear from 2nd to 3rd , should I have to press the brake pedal
@SriniVenkata-my4uw please mention the following:
1) Odo (km) reading on your car currently
2) Your city and whether you drive it daily in rush hour traffic
3) Is this your first car? If not, please mention the previous car and the tenure you had it for
4) Your age
(Half of these questions are for me 😃 )
@@RealAutoReviews 1, meter reading is 10150, I am from Bangalore, and I have purchased seltos diesel imt, for highway drive, yes I drive, in city regularly, this is my 2nd vehicle, it is bs6 phase 2 , my age is 51
@@SriniVenkata-my4uw Thank you! The answer is that, no, you don't need to press the brake while upshifting from 2nd gear onwards 😃
Which one you prefer DCT aur IMT which need more maintenance
The DCT would be the most expensive to maintain in the long term.
There is 3 lac difference between Kia Carens DCT and iMT. Which one should I get?
@@rahulagrawal64 Get the manual.
Sir can we use 1st gear for long time in heavy traffic please explain
You didn't watch the video! 😐
Sir can we use 1st gare for long time in heavy traffic

Is there any change in mileage in manual transmission and imt
