Is the dual-clutch transmission in the Sonata 10 dry or wet?
1 Answers
The transmission in the Hyundai 10th-generation Sonata is a dry dual-clutch transmission. The 10th-generation Sonata comes with two types of transmissions: an 8-speed automatic manual transmission and a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. Specifically, the 2.0T model is equipped with the 8-speed automatic manual transmission, while the 1.5T model features the 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. There is no wet dual-clutch transmission option. The main difference between dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions is that the wet type has internal oil, with the friction plates immersed in the oil, whereas the dry type has its friction plates exposed to the air. Both dry and wet dual-clutch transmissions were first introduced to the market by Volkswagen. All of Volkswagen's entry-level brand models prioritize the use of either dry or wet dual-clutch transmissions.
