Thanks to BHPian Shreyans_Jain for this thread idea!

Hyundai has the record for the most number of transmissions on offer. They have a 5-speed manual (Santro, i10, Nios, i20, Venue), a 6-speed manual (with all the turbo petrols and the diesels + Elantra), a 5-speed AMT (Santro), a 7-speed DCT (Venue, Creta, Verna), a 6-speed torque converter (Creta, Verna, Santa Fe, Tucson, Elantra) and a CVT (Creta, Verna). Add to it this new clutchless manual. This is quite a record, and must get difficult to manage with so many variants and combinations.

Maruti offers petrols in just 4 sizes - 0.8L, 1.0L, 1.2L, 1.5L and 0 diesel engine options (although its 1.5L diesel is being readied for BS6). In terms of gearboxes, the Japanese carmaker offers a 5-speed manual, 5-speed AMT, a CVT and a 4-speed torque converter.

In comparison, Hyundai's list will boggle your mind. Dare we say, their engines & gearboxes (especially the automatics) are usually the best-in-segment too.

The Korean carmaker offers 10 engines in India:

• 1.1L petrol (Santro)
• 1.2L petrol (Grand i10, Nios, i20, Xcent, Aura, Venue)

We are not considering brands like Mercedes which launch a CBU on every Monday at lunch time. This thread is only for mainstream cars.

Which other manufacturers offer lots of engines & gearboxes? Tata & Mahindra have quite a line up too, as does the VW group.
