What transmission does the T-Roc use?
2 Answers
The T-Roc uses a dual-clutch transmission, whose function is to change the transmission ratio and expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels. Taking the 2020 T-Roc as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category with body dimensions of: length 4318mm, width 1819mm, height 1582mm, wheelbase of 2680mm, fuel tank capacity of 51l, and curb weight of 1385kg. The 2020 T-Roc features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.4L turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 250Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
The T-Roc primarily uses a 7-speed dual-clutch DSG transmission, typically the DQ200 model. Having driven several T-Roc models, I find its dual-clutch system intelligently designed with impressively fast gear shifts, especially during acceleration from a standstill, where there's almost no noticeable jerk. Volkswagen opted for this powertrain in the T-Roc to maximize efficiency, minimize power loss, and enhance fuel economy. Paired with its 1.4T or 1.5T engine, this combination feels responsive even in city traffic jams and delivers optimal performance on highways. As a compact SUV targeting the youth market, the T-Roc's choice of this transmission is a smart move—both practical and enhancing driving pleasure. For maintenance, remember to change the oil regularly and avoid overheating to significantly extend the transmission's lifespan.
