Is Tiptronic the Same as AT?
1 Answers
Tiptronic refers to an automatic transmission that has manual shifting capabilities, which is not necessarily an AT transmission—it could also be a dual-clutch or CVT. Below are specific details about AT transmissions: 1. Structural Form: An AT transmission is an automatic transmission; some AT transmissions have a manual mode, while others do not. 2. Working Principle: The AT transmission is a relatively common automatic transmission with multiple planetary gears inside, relying on these gears for speed and torque variation. The AT transmission connects to the engine via a torque converter. This type of transmission offers smooth shifting and high reliability and durability.
