What transmission does the Skoda Octavia RS use?
1 Answers
Skoda Octavia RS uses a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission, which has relatively high shifting efficiency and good smoothness. Most German cars use this type of transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is a type of automatic transmission that uses two clutch plates, one controlling the odd-numbered gears and the other controlling the even-numbered gears. Depending on the environment of the clutch plates, dual-clutch transmissions are divided into dry-type and wet-type. The clutch plates of dry-type dual-clutch transmissions are cooled by air, which is the common form of dual-clutch transmissions. The clutch plates of wet-type dual-clutch transmissions are immersed in oil, using the oil for cooling, which provides higher shifting efficiency. The Skoda Octavia RS is equipped with a 2.0TSI engine and the world's advanced 6-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission, with a maximum torque of 280Nm and a maximum power of 147kW.
