Is the T-Roc's dual-clutch transmission wet or dry?
2 Answers
The T-Roc's dual-clutch transmission is as follows: 1. The 1.4T front-wheel-drive models are equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission; 2. The 1.4T all-wheel-drive models are equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission; 3. The 1.2T models are paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The T-Roc is FAW-Volkswagen's first SUV product, positioned as a compact model. The T-Roc's exterior adopts a stylish and aesthetic design, breaking away from Volkswagen's family-style design and fully utilizing the design elements of the overseas version. The front face of the new car features a T-shaped layout, with the headlights integrated into the front grille, complemented by circular LED daytime running lights on both sides, giving it a very fashionable overall appearance. The vehicle dimensions are 4318mm in length, 1819mm in width, and 1582mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm.
I've worked on many Volkswagen models, and the T-Roc primarily uses a wet dual-clutch system. This means it has dedicated fluid for cooling and lubrication, offering better heat dissipation and reducing the risk of overheating during frequent start-stop situations. The advantage of the wet design is that it's more suitable for SUVs like the T-Roc, which handles higher torque, performing reliably in traffic jams or uphill scenarios. I recommend owners perform regular maintenance, checking the transmission fluid level and generally replacing it every 60,000 kilometers to extend its lifespan. Compared to dry clutches, it's more dependable in daily driving, though slightly more expensive. Overall, the T-Roc's wet clutch is a smart choice, especially if you frequently drive in urban areas, making it worth paying attention to maintenance details for long-term reliability.
