What transmission does the 2015 Envision have?
1 Answers
The 2015 Envision offers a total of 4 models, including optional all-wheel-drive versions, all of which are equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Here's more information about dual-clutch transmissions: 1. 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 is engaged in 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. 2. 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 much greater than those of a manual transmission compared to an automatic transmission. The advantages include: 1. Dual-clutch transmissions combine the benefits of manual and automatic transmissions. Instead of using a torque converter, they employ two sets of clutches that work alternately to achieve seamless shifting. 2. Because there is no hydraulic torque converter, the engine's power can be fully utilized. At the same time, the two sets of clutches working alternately result in extremely short shift times, minimizing engine power interruption. 3. Due to more direct shifting and smaller power loss, fuel consumption can be reduced by more than 10%.
