must choose the three best parts. This is a consensus and common sense, because the three major parts are the core parts of a car. Especially the gearbox, even if it is an engine that is not particularly powerful, as long as it is paired with a good gearbox, it can give people a good power experience, keep up with the driver's intentions, and also help fuel consumption to a certain extent.
So let's talk about the better gearboxes on the market, for your reference, if it is equipped with the following gearbox models, it is worth buying.
Aisin-Japan Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd., we referred to as Aisin, Aisin is the world's top gearbox manufacturer, Toyota Group owns 22.2% of the shares. Aisin’s 6-speed automated manual gearboxes are well-known and can be said to be synonymous with “reliable, durable, and smooth”. They are widely used in major brands and models, including independent brands, joint venture brands, cars, SUVs and even trucks. Both.
Many models on the market have 6AT gearboxes equipped with Aisin. According to the calibration given by different manufacturers, there will be different performances. If you want smooth shifting and excellent reliability, choose a car equipped with Aisin 6AT That's it.
gives a very convincing example-Toyota Highlander uses Aisin 6AT, even if competitors in the same level use more 8AT and 9AT gears, Highlander is still using this 6AT gearbox. , Because the technology of this gearbox is mature enough to meet consumers’ demands for ride comfort. Of course, stability is more important. Its life span is more than 200,000 kilometers. As long as it is properly maintained, there will be no problems. The gearbox with the fewest complaints and negatives.
Aisin 6AT is also widely used in self-owned brand cars, such as Changan’s CS car series, GAC Trumpchi GS car series, because most of the self-owned brand power is not strong, under the carding of this 6AT, the power output is relatively smooth. Suddenly, you can optimize the experience of the entire power system.
At the same time, even if you can skip gears and downshifts, it is still the highest priority to ensure smoothness, so driving passion is limited and not suitable for intense driving. If you want a gearbox that has a certain driving passion every day, the next one is the most suitable .
In addition to AT gearboxes, dual-clutch gearboxes are also one of the most mainstream types of gearboxes on the market. Among them, Volkswagen’s DSG (Direct Shift Gearbox) dual-clutch gearbox is the representative. Doubt Volkswagen’s DSG gearbox is one of the best dual-clutch gearboxes on the market.
From a certain perspective, Volkswagen's dual-clutch has more advantages than AT. Why is that? For example-Volkswagen Tuyue, the 330 TSI model tested by the professor before, the book data is only 186 horsepower, which can be said to be incomparable with American and Japanese cars, but in terms of power performance and energy efficiency, Tuyue is definitely Leading, this is reflected in the acceleration performance. It can accelerate from 100 kilometers to 6-7 seconds. If it is equipped with an engine that has the same horsepower as the competition, then the acceleration performance will definitely enter the field of performance cars. The core reason for
lies in its gearbox, which has a super fast upshift and high transmission efficiency, which is unmatched by Aisin 6AT.
Some people are worried about the problem of Volkswagen's setback. The professor does not deny this, but the flaws are not concealed. In fact, Volkswagen's DSG gearbox has been able to suppress the setback to the point where it does not affect the driving experience. Of course, this also depends on the situation. Generally speaking, DQ250 or higher gearboxes have better frustration suppression, especially DQ380 or higher. Such gearboxes have better technical level, stability and driving control performance, and are more worthwhile gearboxes.
Of course, dual-clutch is also divided into grades. The more advanced the dual-clutch, the better the understanding of the driver’s intentions, the smoother and better driving performance. The strongest form of dual-clutch is PDK, which is mainly used in Porsche models. The gear shift speed and stability are industry-leading, and it can start with dozens of consecutive ejections without any problems.
ZF’s 8AT is mainly used in luxury cars and high-end models, focusing on sports performance, which can take into account ride comfort.It also has excellent responsiveness and transmission efficiency. In fact, Aisin also makes 8AT gearboxes. Then it is also an AT gearbox. What is the difference between ZF and Aisin? The professor thinks that ZF’s 8AT gearbox is better than Aisin—it can better balance sports performance.
ZF 8AT is commonly found in BMW’s rear-drive models, and is also mainly used in most sports cars and sedans, including Jaguar, Land Rover, Bentley, etc., all adopt ZF’s 8AT series. Compared with Aisin’s 8AT, ZF Fu is "hard and soft", while Aisin 8AT is more flexible. This is reflected in Volvo's models. The sports performance is very limited, and it can give you a radical driving experience. That is the advantages and features of ZF 8AT. .
In addition, even if it is the same ZF 8AT, they are all different. The specific differences vary according to the tonality of each brand. BMW is the most stable and closely follows the driver’s intentions. If your driving style is more aggressive and needs For a driving experience with agility and even a split personality, Alfa Romeo’s Giulia can meet your requirements. Compared with the current BMW, Giulia’s tuning is more sporty.
Finally, let’s talk about Mercedes-Benz’s 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. Compared with other competing gearboxes, Mercedes-Benz’s 9AT has a few points worth mentioning. The first is the independence of its technology, because most luxury brands are calibrated and purchased from gearbox manufacturers. Even BMW is only highly involved. In contrast, Mercedes-Benz's self-developed and self-produced products are more worthy of recognition.
Secondly, the Mercedes-Benz 9AT is relatively advanced. Nowadays, the mainstream is still 8AT. The Mercedes-Benz 9AT was released in 2014 and is technologically advanced. The advancement of technology is first reflected in stability and practicality. After Mercedes-Benz, many brands have also equipped 9AT, but there have been some embarrassing situations where the highest gear of some models is not available. Of course, it was resolved later; but Mercedes-Benz did not. The problem, after all, as a car inventor, Mercedes-Benz has been at the forefront of car technology.
is more applicable. You must know that Mercedes-Benz's mainstream models and performance cars use 9AT gearboxes, in order to ensure the comfort of home SUVs and cars, and at the same time make the AMG car series have enough sports. , The two use different structures, the AMG car series uses clutch plates; and the domestic gearbox uses a hydraulic torque converter, and the speed can be as low as 1350rpm under high-speed cruising.
Although there is no shortage of 10AT gearboxes, from the perspective of the loading rate and versatility, 10AT still has not become the mainstream. The most mainstream is probably the Mercedes-Benz 9AT. Will there be a stronger gearbox than the Mercedes-Benz 9AT? ? From the perspective of future electrification, with the advancement of electrification, future gearboxes may not necessarily win with multiple gears, so Mercedes-Benz’s 9AT may be the strongest gearbox in the internal combustion engine era.
Generally speaking, if a professor buys a car, he will most likely choose a model equipped with the above gearboxes. Either the reliable and durable 6AT, or the best dual-clutch, or the most balanced and advanced, I believe it has covered the best on the market. Most models, how to choose Renjun reference.
