Is the Passat equipped with a dry or wet transmission?

[HadleyFitz]

The Passat 2.0T uses a wet dual-clutch transmission, while the 1.4T model is equipped with the DQ200 dry dual-clutch transmission. Compared to traditional AT transmissions, the advantage of dual-clutch transmissions is their lighter weight. The internal structure of dual-clutch transmissions is also very similar to manual transmissions, both using gear meshing for power transmission. AT transmissions, on the other hand, use planetary gear sets internally for power transmission, resulting in a more compact structure. The Passat is a mid-size sedan designed by Volkswagen AG in Germany, classified as a B-segment car in the Volkswagen lineup. In terms of body dimensions, the Passat measures 4870mm in length, 1834mm in width, and 1472mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2803mm. Exterior-wise, the Passat features PHEV side badges on both front fenders. The interior remains unchanged. For body colors, the China VI version offers Champagne Gold, Basalt Black, Elegant White, and Pearl Silver, while the China V version additionally provides Coral Red and Crystal Gray as options.
