Which Cars Have an 8AT Transmission?
1 Answers
Cars equipped with an 8AT transmission are numerous, including the Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover Range Rover Velar, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW 7 Series, Audi A8L, Audi Q5, Audi Q7, Jaguar XEL, Cadillac CT4, Cadillac ATSL, Volkswagen Touareg, Porsche Cayenne, Chrysler 300C, and GS460, among others. The 8AT transmission offers relatively smooth gear shifting and excellent reliability and durability. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Engine: The engine is the heart of a car, and the transmission is the key to unlocking its performance. Therefore, the engine and transmission are considered two of the three major components of a car. The 8-speed automatic transmission, with its increased number of gears, more reasonable gear ratios, faster shifting times, smoother gear transitions, and more advanced and intelligent electronic management systems, further enhances the vehicle's comfort and sportiness. Lexus was the first to introduce an 8-speed automatic transmission in the LS460L in 2006. 2. 8AT Transmission: The 8AT transmission is a hydraulic automatic transmission (abbreviated as AT) with eight forward gears. A hydraulic automatic transmission is a gear-shifting device composed of a hydraulic torque converter and a planetary gear transmission. The hydraulic torque converter (HYDRAULIC CONVERTER) is a hydraulic transmission device capable of altering the transmitted torque. There are four common types of automatic transmissions: hydraulic automatic transmission (AT), continuously variable transmission (CVT), automated manual transmission (AMT), and dual-clutch transmission (DCT).
