Super TestCar reviews - Hyundai - Elantra - LaVita GLS 5-dr hatchHyundai modelsTransmission10 Jan 2002 THE LaVita is available as either a five-speed manual or (optional) four-speed automatic with both versions positioning the gearlever on the dash. As in the Elantra sedan and hatch models, the manual transmission is claimed to benefit from an improved shift action with double cone synchronisers between the first three gears and keyless synchronising on first to fourth gears. The automatic, meanwhile, features HIVAC (Hyundai Intelligent Vehicle Electronic Control) fuzzy logic which optimises gearshift points and speed according to driver style and terrain, including skipping ratios on downshifts. The auto also has torque converter lock-up on third and fourth gears. Did you know?Overall gearing in the LaVita automatic is lower than in the Elantra sedan and hatchAll car reviewsAlfa Romeo Abarth Alpine Alpina Audi Aston Martin BMW Bentley Chevrolet Chery Citroen Chrysler Dodge Cupra Ferrari DS Ford Fiat FPV Foton GWM Great Wall Holden Haval HSV Honda Hyundai Hummer Isuzu Infiniti Jeep Jaguar Lamborghini Kia LDV Land Rover Lotus Lexus Maserati Mahindra McLaren Mazda Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG Mini MG Nissan Mitsubishi Peugeot Opel Proton Porsche Renault Ram Rover Rolls-Royce Skoda Saab SsangYong Smart Suzuki Subaru Toyota Tesla Volvo Volkswagen |
