An endangered “species”-manual gearbox

All along, new cars have gradually become automatic transmissions, while manual transmissions have gradually become the minimum configuration. Of course, this is also related to the overall environment and the automobile consumer market. More consumers will choose more automatic transmissions than manual transmissions, so manual transmissions are slowly fading out of our eyes., towards “danger”.

In terms of the current level of science and technology, automatic transmissions have developed quite mature. Both fuel economy and performance are higher than manual transmissions, and the shifting speed is much faster than manual transmissions. Although the number of manual transmissions is gradually decreasing, the demand for manual transmissions still exists. Changing gears yourself provides a tactile feedback and a strong satisfaction that an automatic transmission cannot replace. Driving any vehicle is a cooperation between people and the Vehicle Machinery Department.

How to put it, manual transmissions can better reflect their role as a driver, especially as automakers continue to introduce automatic transmission vehicles. For those who really like a full driving experience, manual transmissions are their favorite. Here are a brief description of a few manual models for your reference.

Honda Civic

Speaking of Honda, I have to say Civic. If you have enough steel coins in your pocket, you can completely choose TypeR. A 2.0-liter turbocharged engine with a six-speed manual transmission will allow you to experience a truly pure driving feeling. Of course, don’t worry if there are not many steel coins. The Civic hatchback version is also available. It is understood that among the van models, only the beggar version is equipped with a manual gearbox. In the hatchback version, there is almost no difference between the manual transmission and the automatic transmission, and it is still a spare speed. I am already excited to hear this. What about you?

Mazda 3

If you are looking forward to the manual model of the 2021 Mazda 3, you must accept that it is a front-wheel-drive hatchback with a Premium kit, otherwise you won’t get it. That’s right, because the Mazda 3 sedan version completely abandoned the manual transmission model. Like the Civic, the Mazda 3 hatchback is equipped with a 6-speed gearbox.

Toyota Corolla

Toyota’s latest Corolla Sport version is better than ever, and fortunately, Toyota still thinks of its motorists. Six-speed manual transmissions are available on all Corolla models, including the new sporty Corolla Apex version, which relies on the sedan’s larger 169-horsepower 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to provide power. Toyota has appeased fans of manual transmissions that are seeking more versatile because it also offers hands-on gears on Rolla hatchbacks, which can self-adjust the motor speed when shifting gears to ensure smooth shifting.

For now, there is no guarantee that Mazda and Corolla will be able to sell sports versions of manual transmission models in mainland China. From the perspective of market demand, the demand for manual gears is indeed not high, but from the perspective of car players, if a suitable amount of manual gearboxes are put in, sales can also increase a lot. I believe no player will refuse a manual transmission model, right?
