What are the differences between DCT, CVT, and AT? 1. Structure: The three have different structures. 2. Transmission method: CVT uses a steel belt for transmission, DCT has two automatically controlled clutches inside the gearbox for control, while AT relies entirely on hydraulic torque conversion, i.e., hydraulic oil, to achieve the connection of front and rear power. 3. Impact on torque: Because the AT gearbox has a hydraulic torque converter, which is a hydraulic buffer speed regulation device, it can easily achieve smooth starts and smooth creeping. On the other hand, DCT achieves gear shifting and torque conversion through the dual-clutch method, making the process response in upshifting speed more thorough. When paired with an engine that has more precise torque output, it has a smaller tolerance for torque errors.
