How many simulated gears does the Stelvio's automatic manual transmission have?
1 Answers
Stelvio's automatic manual transmission has 8 gears. The Stelvio uses an 8-speed automatic transmission (8AT). For AT transmissions, the number of gears is actual and not simulated. This transmission features high transmission efficiency and fast shifting speeds. The AT transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter, with a complex internal structure that includes multiple planetary gears. This type of transmission relies on planetary gears for speed and torque variation. The Stelvio's transmission also has a manual mode, which can be used in specific road conditions or during aggressive driving. When switched to manual mode, the driver can use the gear lever or paddle shifters to upshift or downshift the transmission.
