What transmission does the Mercedes-Benz GLS use?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz GLS uses a 9AT transmission, which offers excellent shift smoothness, as well as good reliability and durability. The AT transmission is a technologically mature automatic transmission with widespread applications. Almost all large luxury vehicles use AT transmissions. Also known as torque converter transmissions, AT transmissions connect to the engine via a torque converter, providing superior shift smoothness. Inside an AT transmission are planetary gears, which are responsible for gear shifting and torque conversion. AT transmissions offer better reliability and stability compared to dual-clutch transmissions and can handle higher torque than CVT transmissions. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class has dimensions of 4668mm in length, 1774mm in width, and 1952mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2850mm, and features a front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout.
