Is the Kodiaq's transmission dry or wet?
1 Answers
Kodiaq uses a wet transmission. The automatic transmission features oil-immersed friction plate clutches, which require the design of a hydraulic coupling or torque converter to work in conjunction with the power flexible connection clutch, making it easy to operate and with a low failure rate. Below is a detailed introduction to the Kodiaq: 1. The Kodiaq is Skoda's first domestically produced mid-size SUV based on the MQB platform. This mid-size SUV made its debut at the 2016 Guangzhou International Auto Show and received widespread attention and praise upon its appearance. The arrival of the Kodiaq broke the awkward situation where Skoda only had one compact SUV, while also providing consumers with a broader range of choices. The performance of the Kodiaq's 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is still considered one of the best in its class, with almost no jerking during low-speed driving, effectively controlling the common issues of dual-clutch transmissions. The gear shifts are crisp and decisive, with upshifts being very proactive during daily driving, keeping the engine speed mostly below 2000 rpm, ensuring better fuel economy. 2. The Kodiaq is equipped with the DQ380 7-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission, which takes into account a large amount of actual Chinese road conditions, providing smooth and jerk-free gear shifts with excellent stability, and optimizes the efficiency of low-speed gear shifting; 7 forward gears with manual and automatic modes, comprehensively upgrading the dual-clutch transmission in terms of power, driving pleasure, and fuel economy. The rapid gear shifting and continuous power improve both power performance and fuel economy; the latest transmission adopts more advanced designs, capable of withstanding a maximum torque of up to 420N·m; the wet dual-clutch form, with continuous circulation of transmission oil, cools and lubricates the dual-clutch module, ensuring more stable performance.
