1 Answers
Here are the main differences between dual clutch and tiptronic transmissions: 1. Different functions: (1) The dual clutch transmission is based on manual transmission but belongs to automatic transmission. In addition to the flexibility of manual transmission and the comfort of automatic transmission, it can also provide uninterrupted power output. (2) Tiptronic combines manual shifting and automatic shifting of a car, integrating both shifting methods into the same vehicle. 2. Different structural approaches: (1) The dual clutch transmission consists of two sets of transmissions, manual and automatic, which can be used separately. (2) Tiptronic combines manual and automatic transmissions for joint use. 3. Different gears: (1) The gears of a dual clutch are divided into 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, with gears 1, 3, and 5 controlled by clutch 1, and gears 2, 4, and 6 controlled by clutch 2. (2) Tiptronic gears include N (neutral), P (park), D (drive), and in addition, different models may have S (sport mode) and L (low gear).
