Does Volkswagen have CVT transmissions?
1 Answers
Volkswagen does not have any models equipped with CVT transmissions. Volkswagen vehicles use either AT transmissions or dual-clutch transmissions. The dual-clutch transmission was jointly developed by Volkswagen and BorgWarner, making Volkswagen one of the early adopters of dual-clutch technology. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the main difference being the addition of an extra clutch and a set of gear-shifting control mechanisms. Taking the Volkswagen Lavida as an example, it is a compact sedan produced by SAIC Volkswagen, featuring a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear torsion beam semi-independent suspension. In terms of dimensions, the car measures 4670mm in length, 1806mm in width, and 1474mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2688mm.
