What transmission is used in the Audi A4?
2 Answers
Audi A4 uses a German ZF simulated 7-speed CVT continuously variable transmission. The functions of the transmission: Changing the transmission ratio to expand the variation range of driving wheel torque and rotational speed; enabling the vehicle to reverse while maintaining the engine's rotational direction. The transmission, also known as a gearbox, 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 stages. Maintenance methods for automatic transmissions: Regularly check whether the automatic transmission fluid level is normal; master the cycle for changing automatic transmission fluid; replace transmission fluid correctly.
I've been driving an Audi A4 for several years now, and most models come equipped with the S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, especially those with Quattro all-wheel drive. The driving experience is incredibly smooth, with gear shifts as quick as lightning and no hesitation at all. In the older A4 models, I also tried the manual transmission version, but those are quite rare now; the mainstream choice is automatic, and some higher-end models even use ZF's 8-speed automatic transmission, which is also very comfortable to drive. In real-world driving scenarios, like accelerating to overtake on the highway, the transmission responds swiftly, helping me save a lot on fuel costs. Occasionally, in city traffic jams, there's a slight jerk in lower gears, but it's not a major issue. Audi's transmission design is quite reliable, and maintenance is straightforward—just a check-up every few thousand kilometers. Overall, the transmission is a plus when choosing an A4, being both dependable and durable.
