Is the Geely Binyue 1.4T transmission dry or wet?
2 Answers
Geely Binyue 1.4T transmission is wet. Advantages of wet transmission: Small power loss from the engine, resulting in low fuel consumption. Additionally, the dual-clutch transmission is compact and lightweight. It offers excellent driving smoothness, seamless power connection, and outstanding acceleration performance. It has high transmission efficiency, very fast gear shifting, and is fuel-efficient. Geely safety features: The Binyue is equipped with safety protection functions such as AEB city, LDW lane departure warning, and BSD blind spot monitoring. It also features the AEB-P pedestrian recognition and protection system, which can effectively identify pedestrians and avoid pedestrian collisions in complex road conditions such as urban areas.
The Geely Binyue 1.4T uses a wet dual-clutch transmission, which I must say is quite practical. The wet design features oil cooling, making it less prone to overheating compared to dry types. I often drive in the city, and during traffic jams or frequent start-stop situations, the wet type performs more stably, with smoother gear shifts and no jerky issues. Dry types have had more problems in some cars, like Volkswagen's earlier models, which received poor feedback. Geely likely chose the wet type for durability, especially since the 1.4T engine delivers strong power, and the transmission can handle high loads. It’s hassle-free for daily use, just remember to change the oil regularly, but don’t worry too much—it generally lasts longer than dry types. If you drive a similar model, you’ll find this setup quite reliable.
