Hyundai i20 Turbo iMT long term review, first report What’s the switch from a manual transmission to an iMT like? Castrol Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Hyundai i20 Turbo iMT to the Autocar India long-term fleet. It’s an interesting replacement for the Hyundai Venue Turbo that I called ‘mine’ for the better part of a year. Compact SUV to hatchback is a reverse migration of sorts, and then there’s the gearbox. Where our long-term Venue featured a conventional 6-speed manual gearbox – you know, the three-pedal variety – the i20 Turbo is specced with an intelligent manual transmission (iMT). Here, gear changes are affected via the gear lever but there’s no clutch pedal to modulate. The part manual-part auto setup sounds more confusing than it is in practice.
