AMT – Automated Manual Transmission

What is it?

AMT is a manual gearbox controlled automatically.
There is no clutch pedal and the car shifts gears on its own.

How it works:

  • Gear shifting is automated using sensors

Advantages:

✔ Cheapest automatic option
✔ Good mileage
✔ Easy to drive

Disadvantages:

✘ Gear shifts may feel jerky
✘ Not as smooth as full automatic
