Gear ratios may also vary depending on the following factors:
*Transmission type (eg CVT, DCT)
*Car model
* Year of release
*Motor size
* Final differential ratio
Notes:
*First gear usually has the lowest gear ratio, and top gear has the highest.
* Low gear ratios provide high traction and acceleration, while high gear ratios improve fuel economy and reduce noise.
*Gears 1-3 are typically used for acceleration, gears 4-6 for normal driving conditions, and gears 7-9 for economical driving and reduced fuel consumption.
