Hyundai Venue recently got the iMT gearbox which gets a clutchless manual gearbox. It also comes with hill hold control and here is a demonstration.
One of the frequent questions that buyers had about the Hyundai Venue and its iMT gearbox is whether it will roll backwards on a uphill slope. In a manual car, you have to either accelerate more or keep pressure on the clutch to prevent it from going backwards. But since you do not get a clutch with the iMT gearbox, how does it work?
Here is a video which shows the Hyundai Venue iMT tested on an uphill and a downslope. After engaging the car in first gear, the driver releases his foot from the brake but does not accelerate. The car goes backwards by a couple of feet before it automatically resumes moving ahead. That’s hill assist control working.
