What's the Difference Between Tiptronic and Dual-Clutch Transmission?
1 Answers
The differences between Tiptronic and dual-clutch transmission mainly lie in the following aspects: 1. Fuel economy: The dual-clutch transmission is equivalent to two automatic clutches, which is generally more fuel-efficient. 2. Power performance: Tiptronic is developed based on traditional automatic transmissions, with relatively slower response speeds overall. Due to engine protection considerations, its power performance is relatively weaker. 3. Cost: Tiptronic is generally used in some mid-to-high-end cars with relatively faster shifting, while dual-clutch transmissions are usually used in some high-end models and sports cars, with very expensive components, making Tiptronic slightly better in terms of cost.
