What type of transmission does the Tiguan L have?
1 Answers
The Tiguan L is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Dual-clutch transmissions offer high transmission efficiency and fast gear shifting, making them well-suited for use with small-displacement turbocharged engines. In a dry dual-clutch transmission, the clutch plates are not immersed in transmission oil, resulting in relatively poor heat dissipation performance. In contrast, a wet dual-clutch transmission has its clutch plates immersed in transmission oil, providing better heat dissipation and the ability to handle higher torque. The Tiguan L's 1.4-liter turbocharged engine delivers a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The engine reaches its peak power at 4,800 to 5,200 rpm and its maximum torque at 1,750 to 3,000 rpm.
