Is the Lamando Transmission Dry or Wet?
2 Answers
The type of transmission in the Lamando depends on the model: the 1.8t variant comes with a wet transmission, while other models are equipped with dry transmissions. Taking the 2021 Lamando as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4615mm, width 1826mm, height 1425mm, with a wheelbase of 2656mm, a minimum ground clearance of 110mm, and a curb weight of 1325kg. The 2021 Lamando features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is powered by a 1.4t inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 131ps, a maximum torque of 225nm, and a peak power of 96kw, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my Lamando for two years now, equipped with a 1.4T engine paired with a dry dual-clutch transmission. The response at startup is quite quick, and while commuting in the city, I occasionally experience slight jerks during traffic jams. However, as long as regular maintenance is performed, such as changing the transmission oil once a year, it runs very smoothly. The advantage of the dry type is its light weight and low fuel consumption, saving an average of 0.5 liters per 100 kilometers is no problem. The downside is that the clutch is prone to overheating and wear in high-temperature environments or during frequent stop-and-go driving. Fortunately, the Lamando's design takes this into account, offering high overall reliability, and it handles long-distance driving without issues—I've taken several trips spanning hundreds of kilometers without any faults. Simple maintenance is sufficient, and I recommend considering your driving habits when making a choice.
