[MacAnna]

ZF 8AT is more advanced in technology, while Aisin 8AT offers better smoothness. Below are the specific introductions about ZF 8AT and Aisin 8AT: 1. Aisin 8AT: Aisin 8AT is not only the preferred supplier for Toyota and Mazda but also a highly regarded transmission among domestic independent brands. As a subsidiary brand of Toyota, Aisin naturally focuses on practicality and economy, aiming to provide consumers with cost-effective products. 2. ZF 8AT: ZF's 8AT transmission is quite the opposite of Aisin's. ZF's transmission is more suitable for extreme environments with high torque output, which is why ZF transmissions are often installed in luxury vehicles. For example, BMW and Audi from the BBA group utilize ZF's technology, with BMW's 8AT specifically sourced from ZF. Besides German cars, the British brand Land Rover also employs ZF transmissions.
