What transmission does the Volkswagen Magotan use?
2 Answers
Both the 1.4T and 1.8T models of the Volkswagen Magotan are equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, while the 2.0T models come with either a 7-speed or 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Below is an introduction to the Magotan's powertrain: 1. The 280TSI model is powered by a high-performance EA211 1.4T engine, delivering 110kW (150PS) and 250N·m of torque; 2. The 330TSI model features a low-performance EA888 2.0T engine, producing 136kW (186PS) and 320N·m of torque; 3. The 380TSI model continues to use the high-performance EA888 2.0T engine, with an output of 161kW (220PS) and 350N·m of torque. All models are equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.
As an automotive technology enthusiast, I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years, equipped with a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission that's ingeniously designed. The DSG achieves rapid gear shifts through the alternating operation of two clutches, delivering smooth acceleration without jerking, especially responsive during high-speed overtaking. It's also fuel-efficient, averaging 10% less fuel consumption than older transmission models, saving significant money in the long run. However, maintenance is crucial; transmission fluid and filters must be replaced every 60,000 kilometers to prevent clutch wear and potential issues. From a driving perspective, it offers smooth urban commuting and fast gear shifts in sport mode. Compared to Toyota's CVT, it provides more direct power delivery and better noise control. Early models had software issues, but Volkswagen's optimizations have since stabilized them, making it a practical choice. I recommend those who enjoy dynamic driving to try the manual mode for added fun.
