Which is faster in acceleration, dual-clutch or CVT?

[DamianFitz]

Dual-clutch and CVT transmissions have similar acceleration times. Below are detailed introductions to both: 1. CVT Transmission: CVT transmissions are notably smooth, with particularly seamless gear shifts. Therefore, cars equipped with CVT transmissions offer high comfort levels during both acceleration and deceleration, as the gear changes are continuous and linear. CVT transmissions also perform well in terms of fuel efficiency. 2. Dual-Clutch Transmission: Dual-clutch transmissions are divided into dry and wet types, operating through the coordination of two sets of clutches. The biggest advantage of dual-clutch transmissions is their strong power output, with minimal power loss during gear shifts, allowing for direct engagement. However, dual-clutch transmissions also have significant drawbacks, such as poor smoothness during gear shifts, which can sometimes result in strong jerking sensations.
