1 Answers
Roewe 550 automatic model is equipped with TST's 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Here is the information about the 6-speed dual-clutch transmission: The 6-speed dual-clutch transmission has two gearboxes, one controlling the 5th gear and the other controlling the 6th gear. Fast shifting: The shifting time of the dual-clutch transmission is very short, with each shift taking less than 0.2 seconds. Fuel-efficient: Since the dual-clutch transmission eliminates torque interruption, the engine's power is continuously utilized and always operates in the optimal condition, resulting in significant fuel savings. Good comfort: Due to the fast shifting speed, each shift of the DCT is very smooth, with minimal jerking that is hardly noticeable. When the higher gear is in the ready state, the upshift speed is extremely fast, reaching 8 milliseconds. The 6-speed dual-clutch transmission is based on a manual transmission but belongs to the automatic transmission category. Besides offering the flexibility of a manual transmission and the comfort of an automatic transmission, it also provides uninterrupted power output, making it more convenient than conventional manual and automatic transmissions.
