Hyundai throws hat into the “fake manual transmission for EVs” ring.
The South Korean automaker is the latest to reveal plans to develop a virtual manual transmission for EVs. The head of Hyundai’s N performance brand tells Car Experts:
The idea is to come pretty close to the feel and sound of the DCT [dual-clutch transmission] in the i30 N hatch... This is what we want to deliver, complete with the same some jolt and downshift vibrations you experience in our ICE N cars. Sound-wise, though, it’s very challenging, especially those pops and crackles you get in the i30 N, but we’re still working on this technology to bring the DCT in-car experience of a combustion engine car to similar emotional levels in our Ioniq 5 N EV.
