What is the difference between CVT and dual-clutch transmission?
1 Answers
The differences between CVT and dual-clutch transmission lie in their nature and characteristics. Below is a detailed introduction to the distinctions between the two: 1. Nature: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is a dry clutch, developed based on 6-speed technology, which simplifies the related hydraulic system. It is generally paired with small-displacement engines. CVT refers to a continuously variable transmission, which does not have specific gears. In operation, it is similar to an automatic transmission, but the change in speed ratio differs from the gear-shifting process of an automatic transmission. 2. Characteristics: The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission is more prone to overheating, so its heat resistance is not as good as that of a wet clutch, and thus it can withstand relatively less torque. The power output of a CVT transmission is linear, providing a very smooth driving experience. However, the strength that the transmission steel belt can bear is limited.
