Is the Lynk & Co 03+ Equipped with a Dry or Wet Dual-Clutch Transmission?
2 Answers
Lynk & Co 03 is equipped with a 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission. Below are some extended details: 1. The 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission boasts a maximum transmission efficiency of up to 97%. The high-efficiency powertrain combination of the Drive-E 1.5TD high-performance engine and the 7DCT wet dual-clutch transmission delivers a maximum power output of 180 horsepower and a peak torque of 265 N·m. 2. The Lynk & Co 03 features an 'L'-shaped taillight design and dual round exhaust pipes, maintaining a high resemblance to the concept car, ensuring excellent recognizability. 3. The Lynk & Co 03 is built on the CMA platform jointly developed by Geely and Volvo, marking it as the first sedan model launched under the Lynk & Co brand.
I've been driving the Lynk & Co 03+ for almost two years and know it uses a wet dual-clutch transmission, not a dry one. The characteristic of the wet type is that the clutch plates are immersed in oil, which effectively dissipates heat and reduces overheating issues, making it particularly suitable for stop-and-go city driving conditions. The gear shifts are smooth, and acceleration from a standstill is fluid, without the common jerking or noise associated with dry clutches. Wet clutches are also more durable. Although maintenance requires regular replacement of the clutch fluid, approximately every 60,000 kilometers, it's much more worry-free in the long run. For high-performance cars like the 03+, the wet transmission can handle greater torque and avoids performance degradation under high temperatures, making the drive more stable and reliable.
