6-Speed Automatic with Paddle Shifters and Shift Gauge

  • Paddle shifters enable semi-manual shifting of the transmission. Driver is able to tap left to downshift or tap right to upshift to accommodate more precise control of performance.
  • Shift gauge identifies gear shifts as driver utilizes the paddle shifters.
  • 6.11:1 gear ratio spread, which contributes to a balance of performance and fuel economy.
  • Clutch-to-clutch concept delivers optimal shift timing.
  • Adaptive shift controls include automatic grade braking, which commands the transmission to remain in a lower gear if the vehicle is decelerating or coasting on a downgrade.

Instrumentation

Gear select and boost gauge are both standard on the new Carmel GT and Carmel GTS.
