Transmission gearing when clilmbing hills
 

My 07 Sanfe Fee with the 3.2 engine and 5 speed auto seems to be
lugging when climbing hills at 60 km in town. Is this normal? Is this
a means to increase mileage or can damage occur from this setup.

All the Hyundais I have owned have had quite tall
gearing that allows very relaxed ( ie low rpm) touring
with great fuel economy. (my 2003 V6 Sonata - 7.8 l/100km) . Trade off I
suppose is less acceleration but with 5 gears I thought that would be
minimal. Gear change points ok?.
