What is the difference between 8AT and 7-speed dual-clutch?
1 Answers
8AT and 7-speed dual-clutch have the following differences: Different number of forward gears: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission has 7 forward gears, while the 8AT transmission has 8 forward gears. If you frequently drive on city roads, you may choose the 8AT transmission, as it handles frequent starts and stops and low-speed driving conditions more smoothly. Different transmission structures: The structure of the dual-clutch transmission is also different from that of the AT transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is developed based on the manual transmission, and its structure is similar to that of a manual transmission. The AT transmission is a torque converter transmission, and its interior consists entirely of planetary gears.
