What is the transmission model of the Volkswagen Tayron?

The transmission model of the Volkswagen Tayron is DQ500. The functions of the transmission are: 1. To change the transmission ratio to meet the traction needs under different driving conditions; 2. To achieve reverse driving; 3. To interrupt power transmission to the drive wheels when the engine starts, idles, the car shifts gears, or needs to stop for power output. Taking the 2020 two-wheel-drive Comfort Smart Edition Volkswagen Tayron as an example, its body dimensions are: 4589mm in length, 1860mm in width, 1660mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2731mm, a fuel tank capacity of 60 liters, and a trunk capacity of 1590 liters.
I previously researched the powertrain configuration of the Volkswagen Tayron. Its transmission model primarily depends on the engine version. For instance, the 330TSI and 380TSI 2.0T models mostly use the DQ381 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, known for its fast shifting and fuel efficiency. However, the earlier 1.4T versions used the DQ200 dry dual-clutch transmission, which was later upgraded to the wet type in facelifted models. When choosing a car, you need to check the specific year and rear badge, as different configurations may vary. Personally, I think the wet type is more durable, especially in stop-and-go traffic where frequent gear changes are less likely to cause overheating, and maintenance is also more worry-free. Just remember to change the transmission fluid regularly as per the manual, otherwise the valve body is prone to failure.
