Is the Tharu's transmission a dry or wet dual-clutch?
1 Answers
The Tharu models equipped with the 1.4T engine use a dry dual-clutch transmission, while those with the 2.0T engine use a wet dual-clutch transmission. The structure of a dual-clutch transmission is essentially the same as that of a manual transmission, except that it has two sets of clutches—one controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer high transmission efficiency, fast gear shifting, relatively compact size, and lighter weight. The Tharu is a compact SUV launched by SAIC Volkswagen, featuring the Rock Cutting design concept for its exterior. The raised lines on the ridge-like hood enhance the sense of power, while the wide-body dual U-shaped full LED headlights tilt upwards, with the grille strips extending to the headlights.
