Hey #PDArmy, what's your pick - an iMT or a DCT? Tell us below, and if you want to see more videos like this, hit that Like button. If you haven't subscribed, you should so that you don't miss any of our upcoming videos.
A word or two about the driveability of the IMT in bumper to bumper traffic was missed. Is the clutch release on the IMT just as smooth as a manual? How does the IMT handle slow launch on incline? Also, a word of caution, clutch plates on dry DCTs are often considered as 'consumables' and may need a replacement earlier than a clutch in manual. You guys should have addressed these things
These two are soo much fun to watch! The best pairing on Powerdrift currently. The charisma, the wittiness, its just so much fun to watch. More of this please!
The final verdict is IMTs are more reliable than DCTs. The minimum cost to replace a dct gearbox is around a lac or more. The internal clutch plates of a dct are equally costly. So either go for a traditional automatic transmission or a torque converter if you want that one hand free or go for IMT
For city only CVT are best. For highway/less crowded manual/IMT best. Enthusiastic people with cash can have dct. But for me, if you stay in city offen goes on highway get yourself a torque converter.
But the DCT do have a sports mode which enable you to downshift and upshift in order to overtake right?? The video could have been more informative on day to day driving scenarios that a person can face while opting between the two gearboxes.
An IMT is going to mess up your muscle memory .Going back to the usual manual after habituating IMT you will grinde those gears for sure . Adding paddle shifters to the DCT is a far better option than an IMT for those immediate downshifts.
@@abhishek.s86 One can do anything with MT. Overtaking a car is so quick. Driving at inclined roads or hills is so much fun, never required those hill start/stop button. Good driver knows how much clutch needs to pressed to climb those.
@@abhishek.s86 These AMT/IMT are for those who can't learn driving MT. They buy it and show off it MEHENGI CAR KHARIDI HAI BRO. Those who love driving like me will always prefer MT.
Manual is pretty much the best option in terms of reliability. Next up would be the iMT. The DCT *WILL* fail. It may not happen today or tommorow but it will happen eventually. Especially in India where you have to creep in bumper to bumper traffic on a super hot day. And there really is not that much advantage for the DCT in this segment. Sure it shifts quick..so what? It's a small cSUV not a racecar. Moreover it's jerky in traffic and will cost a bomb to repair when it fails. If VW cannot completely make the DSG reliable even after a decade, I don't expect Hyundai to do it in a few years.
Hi team, late to the party, but loved the video. I have narrowed down to IMT and DCT and the venue and Sonet. My query is around 1- whether the DCT will be reliable in bumper to bumper traffic like blore where you have to take every opportunity to advance (I get that if I give space it will be fine, but if I need to reach office within 2 hours I need to creep as much as possible). In such conditions will the DCT be fine or will it wear out quickly. 2 - how jerky is the imt compared to a manual if you learn to use it well and what are its weak points (I have noted people saying issues in 1st and 2nd gear). Anyone with long term ownership (more than a year) of either car in Bangalore pitching in would be really helpful.
This pair of hosts is good 👍🏻I test drove imt sonet recently, Hesitantly! The moment car started rolling I was all adapted , comfortable and feeling at home. Its that friendly to first timer 👌🏻I think its here to stay
@@harshitrakhiani8833 completely depends on your willingness. If clutch is the only issue then go for iMT. If you want it all auto- if you are a moped guy xD go for Auto.
One point stated wring, iMT has higher maintenance cost 50-60 k km done and be ready for overhaul of gearbox including change of clutch plates DCT and TC will not have any issue even after you drive it for 2 lakh Km
I started watching, because it was a valid question I wanted to find an answer to, I continued watching and re-watching because it was so fun. Best pairing on power drift right now and given the quality of the other presenters, that's a high order achievement.
These guys make sure the video to-be watched twice to understand... Nicely explained of imt... There is full wind noise in between, was it intentional?
IMT is a mid step towards automatic from manual, not the full step. I would prefer Full AT i,e Torque Converter considering im not worrying about mileage. The overheating of DCT in bumper traffic worries me
So incase of the IMT it's assumed that it has an auto clutch right ? So what are the chances of escalated costs and high breakdown charges 4-5 years hence?
6:28 That 0.1 kmpl difference though, that's if the gears are shifted ideally. I can't imagine the non-petrolhead average dude knowing or caring about shifting at the appropriate time. In practice, I feel the DCT may edge out or at the very least draw level with the iMT That being said, I never found the clutch cumbersome, and I'd rather have that or the DCT any day... Basically full manuals are the best on the highway and DCTs are best for the city...
Screw iMT, DCT, AMT, Torque Converter, or any other automatic. I'd pick a Manual transmission with a Clutch Pedel at the left foot. I Decide when to shift, not some algorithm.
@@thewanderer3282 I'm just saying about the build quality. Well nexon is not made for heavy off roading but if Tata ever makes one, they'll make it better than Mahindra. In nexon's segment Mahindra xuv300 also has only 4 stars I guess.. nexon has 5 stars
I am sorry to ask this silly question, but as a typical Indian this question came to my mind is that can we do "dhaaka start" an IMT transmission cars.
Honestly i don't know.. i am just a beginner and learning with a manual gearbox.. and i am really liking it.. But maybe that's because all i am driving is on plain traffic free roads..
I believe it should engage either when you put off foot from accelerator and try to push gear lever, if I am not wrong, now gear lever will have two-staged shift while shifting, so at about 1-2 inches it will engage the clutch and at next 1-2 it will shift the gear and once you are getting back the lever to middle it will release the clutch
Hi Guys, Once again a good video. Lot many people might be thinking which gearbox should they go for in sonet or venue and you guys made their life easy. In terms of which one is faster imt vs DCT, I feel Hyundai’s dct is not as good as the one from VW so that is where dct variant in Hyundai is slower than imt.
Great video and very informative but one thing: did you guys factored in the point of clutch assembly replacement charges, because clutch being controlled by the TCU rather than a person often reduces the clutch life.
I have never driven an automatic but I am inclined to buy the new Creta IVT. Am I wrong to assume that a car with paddle shifters will have the best of the both worlds as well?
Hi, DCTs also come with a manual mode with a (+/-) button that enable you to change gears, do they not? It takes a while to get used to but is a nifty feature when you need it. Or is it not present in this car? To be honest, I've found the S mode itself good enough to tackle the ghats and quick overtaking needs. Thanks
Thanks a lot guys for the great video. Looked like you guys had a lot of fun. Now to the question, Present DCT versions in Sonet have got paddle shifters... Wouldn't that be enough to get the gears up or down?? Forgeting the cost factor, just based on comfort and ease of driving, especially in Bangalore traffic (hopefully once this Covid situation is done). would DCT be better than iMT?
Am I being too rigid when I say that I cant trust an automatic transmission. In a manual you are in full control of the shifts and revs and how the car behaves. And the automatic might have some inherent lag in it. Also more maintainence. No way I'm gonna trust an automatic on gradients and slope start/stop.
I request you guys to make a video on how these 3 cylinder turbo engine sounds inside cabin & how it feels after 40-50k kms (atleast with Hyundai Venue). I am already using a 3 cylinder engine car, nearly 1 lakh kms, i feel like cutting my ears when it crosses 80kmph on a smooth highway , soo annoying sound, one should shout loud to communicate inside the car after 80kmph.
Lol, Technical ted talks aside, all those double innuendos, bwahahaha, killed it 🤣🤣🤣. Having one free hand to multitask, bad job pun at the end, hahahaha Raunak and Rohit's camaraderie is top notch. Also the veiled take on all those "youtubers" who can't even say Subscribe, 😂🤣lolz. Fun way to learn and know transmission unit differences. Nice one. 👍👍

Manual with higher CCs are not available in market, just imagine reving a Manual 2.0 L Turbo charged engine petrol car on Highways.... And companies should give low powered automatic (1.0 L,1.2L, 1.5L) (only torque converter , DCT/DSG, Not AMT ,Nor CVT) only for heavy traffic drives.... And high powered ( more than 2.0 L Turbo charged engines) for reving and enjoying on Highways. Because you can enjoy a wheelspin in an IMT....
How about the reliability of dct boxes. VW which bought dct to India and one of the pioneer of dct tech stopped using dct because of the issues. How reliable do you think this dct would handle it city stop and go traffic
The older DSGs did have some problems, but VW made some changes and the new ones are as reliable the owner's belief in regular maintenance. About VW removing them, it could possibly be to keep the costs low. Making the vehicles BS6 hasn't been easy on any manufacturers. There's downscaling in so many components to keep the vehicles affordable.
A manual transmission is more engaging - you need to be more alert to use it. At times, you'll be doing multiple things at once. It is one of the most rewarding experiences. An automatic is pure comfort. iMT is still a middle ground, but not as much satisfying as manual.
@Athi vignesh It's more fun. You get to match the revs and heel-toe downshift. You have to put in effort to make the perfect shift. Whereas the iMT will do everything for you. You just have to select the gear that you want.
Say 5 years down will there be a resale market for the iMT. Please gaze into your PD Crystal Ball and tell us. Currently that’s going to be the deal breaker. As you know after kitni deti hai, kitne me resale hogi is the 2nd most important Indian question
AMT, if engineered well, can be wonderful! Some of the Lamborghinis, the SSC Tuatara, the Aston Martin Valkyrie, and the Mercedes-AMG One use a variation of an AMT.

Hey thanks Abbaas!
iMTs are working on sensors. That raises the reliability concerns. Right?
If all you say are correct, why do manufacturers charge more for DCT over IMT? There must be some catch there..
Because DCT is a more complex technology - more parts, the software, the R&D required, and more adds up to the extra cost.
Is IMT reliable like normal clutch manual transmission
I have never driven an automatic but I am inclined to buy the new Creta IVT. Am I wrong to assume that a car with paddle shifters will have the best of the both worlds as well?
Only one way to find out - a test drive
Hi,
DCTs also come with a manual mode with a (+/-) button that enable you to change gears, do they not? It takes a while to get used to but is a nifty feature when you need it. Or is it not present in this car?
To be honest, I've found the S mode itself good enough to tackle the ghats and quick overtaking needs.
Thanks
manual mode in automatic transmissions are a joke
Your guys are burst of creative brilliance!
Thanks a lot guys for the great video. Looked like you guys had a lot of fun. Now to the question, Present DCT versions in Sonet have got paddle shifters... Wouldn't that be enough to get the gears up or down?? Forgeting the cost factor, just based on comfort and ease of driving, especially in Bangalore traffic (hopefully once this Covid situation is done). would DCT be better than iMT?
In DCT, it would not let you keep the rev till redline, it would shift automatically
What's DCT ?
A dual-clutch transmission.
Why you want to start from 3rd gear said the guy who changed the gear from 5th to 2nd on highway
😂😂 Maybe Raunak finally gained some mechanical sympathy.
3 stars candidate, pass. And it's a Hyundai.
I thought 45% is pass like 2 and half star
Even though both are using the same platform, Hyundai is more safer in ratings....So my vote is for Venue.
Am I being too rigid when I say that I cant trust an automatic transmission. In a manual you are in full control of the shifts and revs and how the car behaves.

how does the iMT work in steep uphill climbs? @powerdrift
Let me put it in simple words, if you want to ride a car, go for the IMT or DCT.
If you want to *DRIVE* a car, buy a manual.
A manual transmission is more engaging - you need to be more alert to use it. At times, you'll be doing multiple things at once. It is one of the most rewarding experiences. An automatic is pure comfort. iMT is still a middle ground, but not as much satisfying as manual.

Whereas the iMT will do everything for you. You just have to select the gear that you want.
It just feels like one more thing to break in the IMT if you're buying a car for more than 10 years
The bigger question is why the venue is faster than the sonet if it's the same engine
Better mic for voice recording perhaps I believe..
Great explaination
Eagerly waiting for holy shift
Say 5 years down will there be a resale market for the iMT. Please gaze into your PD Crystal Ball and tell us. Currently that’s going to be the deal breaker. As you know after kitni deti hai, kitne me resale hogi is the 2nd most important Indian question
