What kind of transmission allows for both manual and automatic control?

The option that indicates a transmission system allowing both manual and automatic control is often referred to as "Tiptronic Transmission." This type of transmission combines the convenience of an automatic transmission with the ability for the driver to manually shift gears, providing a more engaging driving experience.

Tiptronic systems facilitate gear selection via a push-and-pull mechanism, usually using a lever or paddle shifters, allowing drivers to control the gear changes while still benefiting from the automatic transmission's overall functionality. This versatility makes it a popular choice among drivers who enjoy enhanced control over their vehicle's performance without completely losing the comfort provided by automatic shifting.

The other types of transmissions mentioned have distinct characteristics. An automatic transmission operates without any input from the driver regarding gear selection. A manual transmission relies solely on the driver for gear changing and does not offer the automatic option. A Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) has a different operational mechanism, providing seamless acceleration without discrete gear shifts, but it does not typically allow manual control in the same way a Tiptronic system does.
