Is the Roewe RX5 equipped with a dry or wet dual-clutch transmission?

[McEthan]

The Roewe RX5 1.5T automatic model is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, which is a result of joint development between SAIC and General Motors. The Roewe RX5 2.0T is paired with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Below are the relevant details: 1. A dry clutch transmits power through direct contact of metal plates, providing more direct power delivery. When the metal plates are pressed together, the transmission ratio increases, resulting in immediate and noticeable effects. In contrast, a wet clutch uses oil as an intermediary, requiring the driving disc to accelerate, increasing the centrifugal force of the oil, and then accelerating the driven disc. This additional step makes the response time slightly slower. 2. The clutch is installed between the engine and the transmission and is the component in the vehicle's drivetrain that directly connects to the engine. Typically, the clutch is mounted with the engine's crankshaft flywheel assembly and serves as the component that disengages and transmits power between the engine and the drivetrain. The vehicle's clutch functions similarly to a switch, engaging or disengaging power transmission. The active and passive parts of the clutch mechanism can temporarily separate or gradually engage, and during transmission, they may also rotate relative to each other.
