What Transmission Does the Lavida Use?
2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida is equipped with two types of transmissions: the 1.6L automatic model uses the Aisin 6-speed automatic manual transmission, while the 1.4T model is fitted with Volkswagen's self-developed DSG dual-clutch transmission. Here is an introduction to automatic transmissions: 1. An automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device that can automatically change gears based on the vehicle's speed and engine RPM, as opposed to a manual transmission. 2. There are four types of automatic transmissions: AT transmission, CVT transmission, AMT transmission, and dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving the Volkswagen Lavida, which offers a variety of transmission options. The entry-level version usually comes with a manual five-speed transmission, which feels great to drive, with smooth shifting and good fuel efficiency. It's perfect for my daily commute, even in heavy city traffic. The higher-end models are equipped with automatic transmissions, like the new 1.5L naturally aspirated version with a six-speed automatic from Aisin, known for its smooth and stable performance, making it ideal for beginners. The sport version even features a DSG dual-clutch transmission with a seven-speed dry design, offering quick acceleration, which is great for highway overtaking. I've tried both the manual and automatic versions before—the manual is simpler and cheaper to maintain, while the automatic is more convenient for daily use. It really depends on personal preference. Overall, the Lavida's transmission options are well-matched, with low failure rates. When choosing a car, just pick based on your budget and driving conditions—automatic is more hassle-free for city driving.
