What brand is the Touareg's transmission?
2 Answers
The Touareg's transmission is from the ZF brand, specifically an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. The Touareg is an SUV produced by Volkswagen in Germany. The edges of the four bright strips that form the grille are softened, integrating seamlessly with the headlights. The design of the headlight cut angle is eliminated, and the front bumper is divided into two parts by a chrome strip. The trapezoidal lower grille design is more sporty compared to the current model. In terms of power, the Touareg is equipped with a 3.6L V6 turbocharged engine and a 3.0L V6 diesel engine. The former has a maximum output power of 206 kW, while the latter has a maximum output power of 176 kW.
My Touareg has been running for three years now, equipped with a ZF transmission, which is originally from Germany and performs very steadily. The gear shifts are smooth without any jerking, and the acceleration response is quick on the highway. ZF transmissions are quite common in luxury SUVs, used by brands like BMW and Audi, and their design optimizes fuel efficiency, making them much more durable than those in some ordinary cars. For maintenance, I stick to changing the transmission oil every 40,000 kilometers to avoid wear caused by oil degradation. I remember once driving on mountain roads, the transmission's temperature control system worked perfectly without any overheating issues. Overall, this brand is reliable, but if the car starts shaking or making strange noises, it's likely due to delayed maintenance. I’d advise new owners to pay attention to maintenance details to prolong the transmission's lifespan—after all, replacing a new one isn’t cheap.
