3 Answers
The T-Roc is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Below are some relevant details about the T-Roc: 1. Body Dimensions: The length, width, and height are 4318mm, 1819mm, and 1582mm respectively. The wheelbase is 2680mm. 2. Powertrain: It features a 1.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder EA211-DJS engine, requiring 95-octane fuel. The maximum horsepower is 150Ps, and the maximum torque is 250N·m. 3. Chassis: The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension of MacPherson independent suspension and a rear suspension of multi-link independent suspension.
As a car owner, I've driven the T-Roc several times, and its transmission type really depends on the specific model and engine size. Generally, the lower-power versions of the T-Roc, such as the 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, often come with a dry dual-clutch transmission (DSG), which is lightweight, fuel-efficient, and suitable for daily commuting. However, the higher-power versions, like those with the 2.0-liter engine, usually feature a wet DSG, which is oil-cooled and more durable. The dry type is prone to overheating in congested urban traffic, affecting smoothness, while the wet type offers smoother driving and is better suited for frequent acceleration and deceleration. When choosing a car, you should check the configuration manual or ask the 4S store salesperson to confirm and avoid misjudgment. I also recommend test-driving to personally experience which type better matches your driving habits.
After working on many cars, I've noticed that the T-Roc's transmission choices vary by engine. The dry-clutch DSG is used with smaller engines like the 1.5T T-Roc—cheaper and simpler to maintain, but prone to overheating and related failures. The wet-clutch version is reserved for higher-end models like the T-Roc R-Line, where oil cooling ensures reliability and fewer issues over time. From a repair perspective, when buying used, checking for gearshift hesitation is crucial—a common dry-clutch problem. New owners should maintain transmission fluid changes to extend lifespan. Overall, the T-Roc is reliable, but transmission specifics shouldn't be overlooked.
