Does the GAC Trumpchi GS4 have a dual-clutch transmission?
2 Answers
GAC Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a dual-clutch transmission, but only the GS4 200T model is matched with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, which can fix or change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft in stages. Below is the related introduction of GAC Trumpchi GS4: Body dimensions: Length 4545mm, width 1856mm, height 1668mm, wheelbase is 2680mm, fuel tank capacity is 55l. Power: GAC Trumpchi GS4 is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine, with a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 265Nm.
From a technical perspective, I've driven some versions of the GAC Trumpchi GS4, and it indeed had a dual-clutch transmission option, especially in the earlier models between 2016 and 2019, which used a 6-speed dry dual-clutch design. The advantages of this transmission lie in its fast gear shifting, responsive acceleration, and some fuel efficiency savings. However, in traffic congestion or during low-speed driving, you might occasionally feel slight jerking, not as smooth as an AT transmission. Later, GAC Trumpchi gradually shifted to Aisin's 6AT transmission in the newer GS4 models, placing more emphasis on reliability and comfort. If you're considering buying a used car, you'll need to confirm the specific year and configuration, as most new models now use AT transmissions. Overall, the dual-clutch performs quite well in the GS4, but it needs to match your driving habits.
