Take stock of seven common shift "gears"

Automobile products are becoming more and more diversified. In order to attract consumers' attention, manufacturers naturally make a fuss about every detail, and the designs are varied, which makes people overwhelmed. Not to mention the appearance, the interior and steering wheel have different styles and shapes, and the simplest gear lever has also been played with new tricks. Today, let's take a look at seven common shift modes in the car. Don't wait for the luxury car to come back, but you can't drive it yourself. It's embarrassing.

gear lever

Draw a dragon with me on the left and a rainbow on the right. The shape of the gear lever of the manual transmission model is also easy to identify, and it is often a fixed lifting logic and circuit, which needs to be matched with the clutch to push the gear lever.

Now the manual transmission model has gradually faded out of people's sight. Basically, many models keep the manual gear in order to lower the price threshold of the model, but not many people choose the manual gear. In crowded streets, fewer and fewer people can stick to manual transmission. However, the classic will always be a classic, at least for a short time, because the driving experience brought by this mechanical charm is incomparable to other models.

self-driving

This is the highest proportion of models on the market at present, and it can be said that there is no one. What other snake/walking methods were there before? Now, we have abandoned those shapes and layouts and adopted the simplest and most common lines. Different gears are arranged in a straight line from top to bottom, and the shift lever is pushed to complete the shifting of different gears.

The appearance of automatic transmission model is of epoch-making significance in the history of automobile, because its arrival has liberated the hands of people who don't know how many people are in a hurry, and it can be more leisurely, which greatly improves the safety and convenience of driving. Many teenage drivers can't say automatic YYDS!

In the eyes of many people, Huai dang is equivalent to Mercedes-Benz. In fact, gear shifting is also a common shift mode. It cancels the shape of the traditional gear lever in the gear lever area, but integrates it into the steering wheel, just like the wiper joystick. The appearance is similar, the operation is similar, and the visual effect is more concise. However, many people are still not used to it. Many people may turn on the wiper when they want to change gears at first. ...

The success of this design lies in the utilization of the space in the gear area, which releases more space, increases the storage space, has better visual effect, and the gear area is more regular and has a sense of grade.

Electronic gear lever

Speaking of electronic gear shift lever, who wouldn't think of BMW's big chicken legs? In fact, many mid-to high-end models are equipped with electronic gear lever, but the most popular one is BMW's chicken leg gear lever. The overall shape is like the handle and rocker of the game machine, which is more convenient, labor-saving and scientific.

The security is also greatly improved. For example, if you forget to put P gear, the electronic gear lever can automatically jump off to prevent the car from slipping. The most important thing is that there is a lot of room for the modeling of electronic gear lever. For example, knobs and buttons are actually another form of electronic gear lever.

For example, the knob shift is that the models are concentrated in brands such as Jaguar Land Rover. The traditional handle in the shift lever area was cancelled and replaced by a round knob. If you want to change gears, you can switch between different gears by rotating.

Now more and more domestic cars begin to incorporate this element, which is exquisite and fashionable, with excellent texture and strong sense of grade. It also releases more space, and the gear shift area is more regular and the visual effect is excellent.

This row of buttons is easy to be ignored when listing, and some people even subconsciously regard it as an air-conditioning button.

Paddle shifting is also a kind of gear, but its shape is obviously different. For example, some performance supercars are equipped with it. The original intention is to reduce the shift time and realize the pursuit of faster, faster and faster. Now there are many advantages in some mass production models, such as larger shift area, better visual effect, more convenient shift, simpler operation, and brilliant visual effect, which creates a sense of sports atmosphere.
