Is the T-Roc's Transmission Dry or Wet?
2 Answers
The T-Roc's transmission includes both dry and wet dual-clutch options. Details are as follows: 1. The front-wheel-drive models of the T-Roc use a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission, while the all-wheel-drive models come standard with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. 2. The T-Roc offers three transmission options: a 5-speed manual (for the 1.2T model), a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (for the 1.4T front-wheel-drive models), and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (for the 1.4T all-wheel-drive models). Relevant information includes: 1. The T-Roc is equipped with the EA211 1.4TSI engine, and the high-end models also feature a full-time all-wheel-drive system. 2. For transmission, it offers the DQ200 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (for front-wheel-drive models) and the DQ381 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (for all-wheel-drive models). Additionally, the new car also provides an entry-level model with a 1.2T engine paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Volkswagen T-Roc for a while now. This model comes standard with a dry dual-clutch transmission, such as the 1.4T engine typically paired with a 7-speed dry type. It offers high efficiency and fast gear shifts, with noticeable fuel savings in urban areas—my average fuel consumption is less than 7L/100km. The downside is that it can shake a bit in heavy traffic, but I've found that maintaining smooth driving habits and avoiding semi-clutch states can minimize issues. I recommend paying attention to clutch cooling, avoiding long distances in continuous stop-and-go traffic, and getting regular maintenance checks on fluids and friction plates every year or two. Overall, it's very suitable for daily commuting, with its lightweight design making the car more agile, and it's quite comfortable for long trips as well.
