The Renault Sandero 1.6 MT, from the model's second generation, is a good starting point for understanding how a manual gearbox hands engine rotation over to the wheels.

Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
FWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
79.5 × 80.5 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1598 cm³
Engine location
Front, transverse
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
5
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
82 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
61 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry

Engine and Transmission
A manual transmission joins engine and wheels through a clutch the driver releases by pedal. Once engaged, the selected gear pair sets the ratio between crankshaft turns and driveshaft turns, so each gear trades pulling effort against road speed.
Drivetrain and Everyday Driving
A front-wheel-drive layout is mechanical: it describes which axle receives torque. Traction control is an electronic function that senses a spinning wheel and trims engine output or brakes that wheel, so it manages the layout rather than replacing it.
Body and Practicality
In a five-door hatchback the luggage area opens into the cabin rather than sitting behind a fixed bulkhead. A passenger can reach back for a coat or bag mid-journey instead of waiting for a stop and opening the tailgate.
