What transmission does the Audi A3 use?
1 Answers
Audi A3 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission refers to a dual-clutch gearbox with 7 gears. Here are some related details: 1. The dual-clutch transmission has minimal power loss during the transmission process, making it more fuel-efficient than manual transmissions. During gear shifts, the two clutch systems work together to ensure smoother shifting, maintaining driving control and power performance. 2. Dual-clutch transmissions are divided into dry and wet types. The wet dual-clutch has higher costs and a larger size, but it effectively prevents the transmission from overheating and reduces the failure rate, making it more suitable for driving in congested urban areas.
