What is the model of the Volkswagen Golf transmission?
1 Answers
Volkswagen Golf 7 is equipped with a dry 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, model DQ200. The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission can be simply understood as one clutch corresponding to odd-numbered gears and the other clutch corresponding to even-numbered gears. When the vehicle engages one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state. As soon as the current gear is disengaged, the next gear can be immediately engaged. Therefore, the shifting speed of a dual-clutch transmission is faster than that of a conventional automatic transmission and even a manual transmission. Additionally, although the internal structure of a dual-clutch transmission is complex, its actual size and weight are not significantly increased compared to a manual transmission, so vehicles equipped with a dual-clutch transmission do not add excessive burden. As the leader of Volkswagen's design, the Golf has always represented Volkswagen's new design language, with body dimensions of 4255mm in length, 1799mm in width, and 1452mm in height.
