What transmission does the Sagitar use?
2 Answers
The Sagitar is equipped with a 5-speed manual transmission and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. Taking the 2021 Sagitar Manual Fashion Smart Connect Edition as an example, it belongs to the compact car category, with body dimensions of: length 4753mm, width 1800mm, height 1462mm, and a wheelbase of 2731mm. The 2021 Sagitar Manual Fashion Smart Connect Edition is powered by a 1.2L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 116ps and a maximum torque of 175nm.
I'm an owner of the new Sagitar, which currently uses Volkswagen's in-house developed 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (model DQ200). This dry dual-clutch shifts particularly fast when driving, and it downshifts decisively when you step on the gas. However, I should mention that the older Sagitar had a 1.6L naturally aspirated version paired with a 6AT, which can still be found in the used car market. Manual transmission enthusiasts are in luck—the manual version of the Sagitar uses a 5MT gearbox, with crisp shifts and low failure rates. During heavy traffic, I often switch to manual mode to reduce clutch wear. I recommend new owners check the transmission fluid condition during the first maintenance—a well-maintained dual-clutch can easily last over 100,000 miles. Overall, the Sagitar with this transmission is quite fuel-efficient, often achieving around 6L per 100km.
