What are the transmission specifications of the Tayron?
2 Answers
The Volkswagen Tayron is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, model code DQ500. Here is a partial introduction to the Volkswagen Tayron: 1. Exterior: The Volkswagen Tayron was officially launched on October 22, 2018. The car adopts the Volkswagen family-style exterior design, featuring a large air intake grille with a predominantly horizontal line design, connected to the headlight groups on both sides, highlighting its design appeal. 2. Features: The central control screen supports functions such as Carplay, Baidu Carlife mobile phone mapping, gesture control, and panoramic imaging.
When it comes to the Tayron's transmission, this is where Volkswagen really shines. The 2023 Tayron's main models are equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DQ381 model), capable of handling 420 Nm of torque. This gearbox has closely spaced ratios, making the shifts between 2nd and 3rd gears in city traffic as smooth as chocolate melting in your mouth. What I love most is its aggressive temperament in Sport mode—downshifts are decisive and swift, with the revs soaring straight to 5000 rpm without hesitation. Paired with the EA888 engine, the 0-100 km/h sprint is squeezed well under 8 seconds. However, you need to take it easy when climbing hills in the rain, as the wet clutch's overheating protection will still kick in. For long-term use, it's recommended to change the transmission fluid every 60,000 km—after all, dual-clutch transmissions are quite delicate.
