Is the Volkswagen CC equipped with a dry or wet dual-clutch transmission?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen CC is paired with a DSG seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, based on the DQ500, and the newly developed DQ380 transmission, which can withstand a maximum torque of up to 420Nm. Below is the relevant introduction: 1. Introduction: The FAW-Volkswagen CC combines the stability of a sedan with the agility of a sports car. It features a 4-door frameless design, a sporty interior, and continues the style of Volkswagen's business sedan series, including leather sports seats and a leather smart sports steering wheel. 2. The new generation CC: The new generation CC is the epitome of Volkswagen's new design language, featuring a four-door coupe-style body design, frameless doors, and a hatchback-style tailgate design. The new generation CC is equipped with the ACC3.0 advanced adaptive cruise control system, PLA3.0 third-generation intelligent parking assist system, HUD head-up display system, FPK digital LCD instrument panel, and more.
As someone who frequently studies automotive transmission systems, I have a deep understanding of the Volkswagen CC's gearbox. This car uses a wet dual-clutch transmission, specifically the classic Volkswagen DSG 6-speed version. The wet design dissipates heat and provides lubrication by immersing the clutch plates in oil, making it more durable than dry dual-clutch transmissions, especially suitable for powerful models like the CC, such as when paired with a 2.0T engine, handling high torque more steadily. In daily driving, gear shifts are quick and smooth, with almost no noticeable jerking, significantly enhancing performance. Volkswagen has optimized the wet DSG over the years, reducing failure rates considerably, but regular maintenance is essential—it's recommended to change the oil approximately every 40,000 kilometers. If you're considering buying a CC, this is a reassuring point; the wet design performs well both in city traffic congestion and on long highway trips.
