What transmission does the new Kia KX5 use?
1 Answers
The new Kia KX5 is equipped with either an automatic transmission (AT) or a dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Functions of transmission: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variation of the driving wheels; enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the same engine rotation direction. Also known as a gearbox, the transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the transmission ratio between the output shaft and input shaft in different gears. Classification of transmissions: Stepped transmissions use gear drives with several fixed transmission ratios; continuously variable transmissions (CVT) can obtain any transmission ratio within the speed range continuously; integrated transmissions refer to hydromechanical transmissions composed of a torque converter and a geared stepped transmission.
