1 Answers
Taking the 2019 model as an example, the Touareg X uses a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. More details are as follows: 1. The general term for dual-clutch transmission is DCT. Different manufacturers have different names for dual-clutch transmissions, for example, Volkswagen's dual-clutch is abbreviated as DSG. Dual-clutch transmissions are divided into dry and wet types, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. 2. Wet dual-clutch transmissions are more stable and have a longer lifespan compared to dry ones. However, dry dual-clutch transmissions have higher transmission efficiency. Dual-clutch transmissions were first invented by the French before World War II, with relatively low costs and simpler technology. This is why most entry-level models adopt dual-clutch transmissions. 3. The Touareg X is the coupe version of the Touareg, evolved from the Touareg. The Touareg X was officially launched on May 28, 2019. As of October 30, 2019, there were 6 models of the 2019 Touareg X available, all meeting the China VI B emission standards. The model is positioned as a mid-to-large SUV, with body dimensions of 4905x1989x1719mm and a wheelbase of 2980mm.
