A huge benefit of an IVT is that it simplifies shifting gears when compared to traditional manual transmissions, by sticking with the standard shifting lever common to automatic transmissions which saves new drivers from the trouble of having to learn how to drive a stick shift, while still keeping many of the associated benefits of manual transmissions.
But, reading about Smartstream IVT isn’t the best way to experience this revolutionary transmission system. The best way is to stop in and experience it for yourself with a test drive! The Smartstream IVT is currently available for the Accent, Elantra and Venue and will likely be coming to other Hyundai’s in the not-so-distant future so, stay tuned!
