Do hybird cars come in manual transmissions or only automatic
It's possible to have one with a manual, as the Honda Insight was, but hybrids are now equipped with an automatic transmission, or a CVT continuously variable transmission, because they use a different type drive system that isn't compatible with a manual transmission.
Hybrid cars use computers to balance the power from the gasoline engine and the electric motors. This computer effectively means that the car is an automatic.
They come with either one. Most of the new Hybrid vehicles that have an automatic transmission have the new continuously variable transmission (CVT) which uses 2 cone pulleys with a steel belt to drive the transmission which gives infinite gear ratios. But there's still the old manual shift transmission available also.
