What type of transmission does the Passat have?
1 Answers
Passat's transmission type is a dual-clutch transmission. The dual-clutch transmission is a product developed based on the manual transmission. The structure of such a transmission is similar to that of a manual transmission, with the dual-clutch transmission only having one additional set of clutch and shift control mechanism compared to the manual transmission. In terms of transmission, the Volkswagen Passat 1.4T model is equipped with the DQ200 7-speed DSG transmission, while the 2.0T model features the new DQ381 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The upgrade of the transmission reduces friction factors, improves efficiency, and enhances both performance and smoothness.
