What type of transmission does the Magotan have?
2 Answers
The transmission of the Magotan varies depending on the model configuration: 1. Models with 1.8L or smaller engines are equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission; 2. Models with 2.0L or larger engines are equipped with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The Magotan is a mid-size sedan launched by FAW-Volkswagen, with body dimensions of 4866mm in length, 1832mm in width, 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2871mm. The Magotan is powered by a 1.4T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It features front-wheel drive, with a MacPherson independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension.
I've been driving the Magotan for several years. It's equipped with a dual-clutch automatic transmission, commonly known as DSG. The gear shifts are exceptionally smooth in city traffic jams, with almost no noticeable jerking, and it's also fuel-efficient on highways, with very linear power delivery. I've driven other cars with automatic transmissions before, and the DSG clearly has an advantage in response speed, making starts and overtaking very crisp. However, maintenance is important; regular checks of the transmission fluid can extend its lifespan and prevent minor issues from turning into major faults. Overall, DSG technology is quite reliable. As a signature feature of Volkswagen, it makes driving easier and more comfortable, especially suitable for daily commuting.
