The so-called three major items of automobile refer to the three major items of engine, transmission, and chassis. They are the most important part of the car and the most important cost part of the car.
First of all, it is an automobile engine: a machine that can convert other forms of energy into mechanical energy, used in a power generation device, and also refers to the entire machine including a power device. It consists of 2 major mechanisms and 5 major systems, namely crank connecting rod mechanism, gas distribution mechanism, cooling system, fuel supply system, lubrication system, ignition system, and starting system.
followed by the chassis. The chassis refers to the combination of four parts: transmission system, driving system, steering system and braking system on the car. Support and install the car engine and its various components to form the overall shape of the car, bear the engine power, and ensure normal driving. It is worth mentioning that the car chassis plays a huge role in protecting the internal parts of the car. From the perspective of automobile professionalism, the car chassis mainly includes the transmission system, driving system, steering system, and braking system. Therefore, the advantages and disadvantages of a car chassis are mainly felt from the vehicle's power transmission, handling stability, steering system accuracy, vehicle driving smoothness and vehicle braking sensitivity.
again is the gearbox. It mainly refers to the car's gearbox, which is divided into manual and automatic. Manual transmission: mainly consists of gears and shafts, and the gear shift torque is generated through different gear combinations; automatic transmission: consists of hydraulic torque converter, planetary gear and hydraulic control system, and the speed shift torque is achieved through hydraulic transmission and gear combination.
1. The three major German automobiles
Germany's industrial strength is a well-known existence in the world. Germany is a very important industrial power in the world, and its industrial manufacturing level and product quality are far ahead in the world. Germany's automobile industry is the most developed in the world. In addition to having the best production lines and the best workers, there are also the best engines. Almost every year, Ward's Auto World magazine selected the best engine, German cars can always take the first place. Germany once ranked first in the world in the top ten best engines. For example, the German BMW engine once ranked first in the world in the list of "Ward's Top Ten Engines and Power Systems of the Year" founded by the authoritative American magazine "Ward's Auto World", which shows its strength. A research report released by the German Automobile Management Center (CAM) before Bergills Gladbach showed that the three German automotive giants, Volkswagen, BMW , and Mercedes-Benz , have continued to invest in the field of traditional internal combustion engines over the past few decades, making them ahead of international competitors in this technology. Moreover, in the new technology field, German automakers hope to overtake the electric vehicle field and gain a global competitive advantage. It is worth mentioning that the German Automobile Management Center has conducted research on the technological innovations of 20 major automobile industrial groups in the world in the past in the field of automotive engines. It was found that Volkswagen, Germany, ranked first in terms of fuel consumption control and environmental friendliness, while BMW and Mercedes-Benz ranked second and third in the following. The fourth and fifth are General Motors and Ford Motors in the United States. Asian car companies Hyundai and Toyota are also among the top.
German automotive engines have superb mechanical design technology and manufacturing technology, which is also the mystery of German engines and automobiles achieving today's glory. There is a saying in the industry: Japanese technology is software, American technology is machinery, while Germans rely on manufacturing processes that strive for excellence.
Despite this, German engines seem to be doing nothing in the field of hybrid technology, and have clearly lagged behind their competitors. The German Automobile Management Center predicts that by 2025, the market share of hybrid will increase to about 20%.
Germany has one of the top ten classic engines that are world-renowned in Germany.
PORSCHE: belongs to a horizontally opposed six-cylinder machine.The classicality of Porsche's horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is undoubtedly the case. From the air-cooled 2.0 in 1963 to the current water-cooled 3.8 twin-turbo, the power has been increased by nearly 5 times, and the fuel economy has also been greatly improved. It is undoubtedly a very classic engine.
BMW: M70/S70. As Germany's first V12 engine after World War II, the M70 series is very classic, with a total of four models. Among them, the performance version of the S70B56 and M70B50 are only equipped on 850CSi, and are also the least produced among all BMW engines so far. The outstanding performance of the S70/2 engine allowed the McLaren F1 to win the record of the fastest mass-produced car in the world at that time, and it was not broken by Bugatti after more than 10 years.
M100 engine: is the engine with the largest displacement and strongest power used by the Germans after World War II, the M100 is very classic. It was born in 1963 and was first equipped with the "Mercedes 600" representing Mercedes' top car manufacturing level. Mercedes-Benz AMG's 63 series pays tribute to the M100, a classic large-displacement V8.
BMWS54B32 engine: is the peak of the BMW inline 6-cylinder naturally aspirated engine , the S54B32 is undoubtedly quite classic, with an inline six-cylinder, 3.2 displacement, and has data of -liter power greater than 100 horsepower. The Z3M, the E85 Z4M and E86 M Coupe are the best interpretation of BMW's slogan "Ultimate Driving Machine".
BMWS85B50 engine: S85B50, which originated from the F1 engine, caused a sensation around the world when it was launched in 2005 and quickly became one of the world's most powerful four-door RVs.
MERCEDES-BENZ: M120 engine . As Mercedes-Benz's first mass-produced V12, the M120 series is also quite classic. It was originally equipped with 12-cylinder Mercedes-Benz such as S600, CL600, and SL600 of the W140 series. This engine was subsequently photographed by Pagani and used in Zonda.
AUDIEA855 2.5 L5 20v TFSI: As a 5-cylinder engine that has been passed down for more than 20 years, is one of the few 5-cylinder engines that are still mass-produced. Although other car manufacturers have eliminated 5-cylinder engines, Audi is still persisting, and has added a series of new technologies to this engine, such as vermilion cast iron cylinder block, FSI, turbocharged , VVTh, VVL with two-stage valve lift, etc., allowing this engine to create performance cannon legends such as RS3 and TTRS.
VWEA390 VR6 series: was originally born in the mid-1980s, solving the problem of insufficient space for cross-mounted engine models to be equipped with V6 engine . The compact VR6 engine can be easily placed into the cabin of the front-wheel drive transverse 4-cylinder engine model, and the original model does not require too many changes. This is the biggest advantage of VR engines.
AUDIV10 series: was born in 2003. As the engine provided by Audi to Lamborghini Gallardo, it naturally performed well. From the earliest 5.0 point electronic injection to the later 5.2 FSI, to the 5.0TFSI for RS6, each engine has created excellent performance, especially the 5.0T on RS6, which allowed RS6 Avant to win the title of "the fastest station wagon on the earth".
VW—W12 series: At the 2001 Tokyo Auto Show, Volkswagen exhibited a W12 Nardo Coupe, which was equipped with the W12 engine. A week later, the car broke the 24-hour world endurance record at an average speed of 295.24kph on the Nardo track in Italy, which was very classic.
BUGATTI: W16 engine . The heart of the fastest car on Earth.
MERCEDES-BENZ: M156 series engine. As the endorsement engine of the AMG 63 series, the extremely impressive roar is his business card, which can be called the "muscle" engine of the Germans.
As the birthplace of global automobiles, Germany has a long history of automobiles and is relatively rich in model brands, both ordinary and luxurious brands. The characteristics of German gearboxes tend to be performance. As we all know, German highways do not have speed limits, so German cars are designed to focus more on power. For example, Volkswagen's DSG and BMW's ZF 8AT are both combinations of performance and advanced sense. Especially in terms of high-end models, the German transmission will be even better. The German transmission has always ranked first in the transmission industry.For example, the world's six major transmission brands, ZF (ZF), was once the brand with the highest market share of transmission in the world. Almost all car brands use its products, especially the 8AT (8-speed), which once represented the highest level of AT transmissions today, and it is only used in some luxury brands. At present, it is difficult to see this German transmission for models under 200,000.
Germany ZF (ZF) world-class transmission giant: ZF (ZF) is one of the three major transmission manufacturers in the world and is the most important professional manufacturer of transmission system products in the world today.
1908 Count Ferdinand von Zeppel founded Luftschiffbau Zeppelin GmbH on Lake Constance, and its core will be the technical center of Friedrichshafen. Today, ZF Friedrichshafen AG has grown from the original Zeppelin to the largest company.
Highest of its main products, in addition to mechanical transmission , hydraulic automatic transmission and various gear transmission boxes, there are also steering machines, drive axles, pumps, suspension systems and electromagnetic clutch , etc., which are widely used in automobiles, tanks, special vehicles, aircraft, boats, construction machinery, etc. ZF Group ZF Friedrichshafen is one of the world market leaders and the world champion in the market segment. ZF Friedrichshafen won the title of world market leader and is the world stealth champion. The title was awarded by the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland and was a cooperative media for the German Economic Weekly. The car brands it cooperates with include BMW, Audi, Porsche, Volkswagen, Chery , Southeast , etc.
Germany's automobile chassis is still very advanced in the world. The outstanding features of German automobile chassis are: the most coordinated handling, neither heavy nor light, powerful acceleration, and high speed without floating. Among them, BBA is a top-notch car with global chassis. In addition, in general, the most stable chassis technology is also the Porsche in Germany, which has the lowest complaint rate, strong performance, and is more stable than Lexus in terms of quality.
There is a saying in the global automotive industry that Mercedes-Benz drives BMW. Among them, the most famous BMW in Germany is its handling. BMW has a very good driving experience and handling. The three major items are very good. BMW has very high technology in handling and chassis adjustment, and it is very stable and textured when driving. Friends who have driven BMW may have a deep understanding that all BMW models are very flexible whether on curves, highways or on winding highways.
There is also a brand of automobile chassis in Germany that often leads the top spot. The chassis of German BOLA is very solid and durable. In fact, there is no need to worry about the training of the chassis of Dewei. The front and rear anti-roll bars provide very strong support for cornering. It can be seen from all the details of the chassis that under the exquisite skin, the chassis also has good design and protection. The flat engine guard plate and chassis coating allow Bora to drive with confidence and boldness even on rural dirt roads.
2. The three major Japanese automobiles are
Japan is an important automobile power in the world. Japanese cars have always been an important participant in the global automotive industry. As one of the world's largest automobile producers, Japan perfectly integrates its " craftsman spirit " into the production of the automobile industry, creating technical characteristics that other countries are incomparable to. For example, Japan has world-renowned car brands such as Mitsubishi , Lexus, Nissan , etc. Since the Meiji Restoration Movement started in Japan, Japan's attention to industry and its requirements for technological innovation have been continuously improved. As one of the earliest countries in Asia to have industrialized, Japan's engine technology laid the foundation for future development at this time. For example, Japan's Mitsubishi Company successfully produced the first vehicle that could be mass-produced in 1917. Later, Mitsubishi successfully launched the "Fusang" series of passenger cars in 1932. With the development of time, the "Fusang" series of cars have been continuously improved and still plays an important role in the Japanese automobile market.
Japan can create engines that can ensure sufficient power and have relatively less energy losses. Japan's engines have been loved by consumers all over the world as soon as they were launched. Japanese cars have thus become a representative of "energy saving" and "durability". Unlike the assembled parts of engines in European and American countries, the parts used to assemble a Japanese car are significantly less than those in European and American countries. Although there are fewer assembled parts, the performance of the engine itself does not appear inferior. Especially in terms of fuel consumption, Japanese cars have lower losses and are more popular with Volkswagen.
Japan's requirements for "Japanese cars" are extremely strict. It can be said that almost every part on Japanese cars, from design, development, mass production to complete installation, is produced independently by Japan's own company, which undoubtedly greatly avoids the quality risks brought by outsourcing to other companies. Japan's industry is relatively simple. They will choose to invest in manufacturers that produce other parts and establish a professional team dedicated to supervision to protect the production of engine technology. Moreover, Japanese manufacturers have a high intellectual property awareness of their engine technology. Often, before an engine technology has entered the market, relevant patent protection and intellectual property protection have been entrusted to a professional and powerful lawyer team to protect the engine technology in all aspects.
Japanese-type cars have low engine failure rate, which is recognized by all maintenance masters in the automotive industry. Most Japanese engines are good, especially the constant pursuit of hot pillows for fuel consumption, which is really admirable. For example, Toyota is tirelessly increasing the engine calorific value, which increases by 1%-2% each time, which seems useless, but after 10 years, a 2.5L engine with a calorific value of 41% has been born. For example, Japan's , Mazda has always pursued high compression ratio.
Japan has three famous automotive engine brands
Honda engine: Honda engine has the most reliable quality, especially often leading the global engine rankings. Honda has achieved great reputations around the world in terms of engine quality reliability. In history, only one Honda has an engine failure on average, with a failure rate of only 0.29%. Honda 's engine does perform very well in terms of power and economy, and also has good reliability.
Toyota engine: Toyota engine has spared no effort to explore Atkinson cycle technology, and the thermal efficiency of the entire hybrid system has reached 40%. As we all know, the thermal efficiency of a general car is between 20% and 30%. The higher the thermal efficiency, the more fuel-efficient the engine. The failure rate of Toyota is 0.58%, which means that one in every 171 vehicles has an engine failure. Compared with Honda, Toyota is more modest and lacks a little personality. But Toyota is undoubtedly the most popular model in Europe, America, Asia and Africa, and its engine quality is also excellent.
Nissan engine: Global survey shows that 1 out of every 72 Nissan cars has had an engine failure, with a failure rate of 1.32%, even surpassing Land Rover 1.39%, and the quality is naturally good.
Japan also has Jaguar engine: especially had a long period of silence at the beginning of this century, the comprehensive quality of the product is not high and the reliability is not good. Especially after launching the Jaguar XF, which can be called stunning, Jaguar began to transform, and its rapid development in design also led to the development of reliability. Only one in every 103 Jaguars has an engine failure, with a failure rate of 0.98%.
Japanese car transmission is still world-renowned. For example, Japan's famous Aisin Transmission is the most widely used transmission brand in China. Aixin Transmission is a brand that was established relatively early. Toyota Motor owns 22% of Aixin shares, so you will often see Aixin Transmission when buying a Toyota car. The smoothness and accuracy of the Aisin transmission are very good, and it is also very suitable for the engine, which is also one of the important factors that Japanese cars are more fuel-efficient.
Japanese car brands can be said to be familiar, especially Toyota, Honda, Mazda, etc. are all brands that global users like.The reason why these Japanese brands are very outstanding is inseparable from the reliability of the three major items. For example, Japan's Jetco is also a brand that has done a very good job in transmissions, and its CVT technology is very mature. The eighth generation of CVT is its pinnacle, much better than the previous CVT2, the gear ratio range has increased a little, the internal wear has also been greatly reduced, and the control system is more advanced than before.
Japanese Aisin is also one of the three largest gearbox manufacturers in the world, established in 1969. Aixin's automatic transmission product series is very rich, including 4th gear, 5th gear, 6th gear and 8th gear. Almost all Toyota's models use Aisin's automatic transmission. In addition, its gearbox is also widely purchased by other vehicle manufacturers, such as Mazda, Daewoo , Opel, Volkswagen, Fiat, Citroen , and even health care, BMW and Audi are among them.
CT5 has a strong wheel braking capability and is only 32 meters away from the sudden brake range of 100 kilometers. Such performance can definitely defeat Audi R8 and Nissan GTR and other million-level sports cars . Cadillac is really crazy and even supercars have to do. The top-end CT5 model is even equipped with a particularly attractive damping control suspension system. The maximum power of 174 kilowatts + variable valve management technology with tripower is very competitive from the perspective of three major components. However, CT5 still has a lot of room for improvement in the actual acceleration experience, and its acceleration is weaker than its competitors when the displacement is similar. CT5 has a greater advantage in price. At a price of 300,000, the competitors can choose models with poor configurations, but CT5 can buy top-end models. On the other hand, the entry-level price is not that high, allowing consumers with weaker economic strength to realize their dream of performing their car.
Japanese cars have also excellent chassis technology. The characteristics of Japanese cars are that the minimum ground clearance is large, and the minimum ground clearance of European and American cars is small. This is mainly because the terrain used by various manufacturers is different. Compared with the European and American cars, the overall suspension is harder, and the chassis of Japanese cars is poor in overall suspension. Of course, the minimum ground clearance is one aspect, and it also depends on the suspension, as well as the wheelbase, the degree of bumpy road surface, and the chance of bottoming out if the wheelbase is long. It is worth mentioning that Japan's Lexus is an independent premium sedan brand sold by Toyota Motor in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America , Africa, Oceania and other places. In 2005, Lexus entered the Japanese local market and became a luxury sedan brand that sells worldwide. Nissan relies on these three major items to go all out. Japan has spent 20 years to develop a variable compression ratio engine for USD , especially on the new Teana . Japan's "three major items" are not just that. Nissan's "new" three major items refer to intelligent driving, intelligent power, and intelligent interconnection. It is more advanced overall and is also in the mainstream leading position in the automotive industry.
3. Three major automotive items in the United States
The United States is the world's top aviation engine power, and the United States is also a automotive engine power. The engine power of American cars is relatively good, but the fuel economy is not as good as that of Japanese cars, because American car engine owners consider more about power and comfort when designing. The most prominent feature of American engines is their large displacement and high torque, so the engines of American cars are relatively fuel-consuming.
A European auto insurance company ACE Limited conducted a sample survey and analysis of more than 50,000 engine failure cases of its company and released a ranking of the top ten engine failure rates of automobile brands. Low failure rate means more durable configuration, the world's top ten most durable car engines, and the engines on the list in the United States include: Ford engine failure rate: 1.25%, and an average of 1 out of every 80 cars fails. It is worth mentioning that as a century-old American brand, Ford's engine has always been one of the representatives of Ford's new power technology, especially its Ecoboost engine has obtained 125 patents and patent applications in the United States, so Ford's engine has become the throne of the best engine more than once.
Another famous brand in the United States, Land Rover engine failure rate: 1.38%, and an average of 1 out of every 72 cars fail. Although Germany, the world's origin country of automobiles, has a shocking engine, there is a saying in the global automotive industry: "Automobiles originated in Germany, developed in France, matured in the United States, and challenged in Japan." The United States has many classic models in the field of engines:
Ford Windsor V8 series: Ford Windsor has a nice Chinese translation name - Windsor. Born in 1961, it has a very ancient history. The birth of the Windsor series engines is mainly aimed at consolidating Ford's leadership in the field of small-cylinder V8 engines.
Chrysler Hemi Series: The most famous design of the HEMI engine is that it adopts a semi-spherical combustion chamber, and the intake and exhaust gases are listed on both sides of the combustion chamber . Compared with the flat top design, the HEMI engine greatly increases the gasoline combustion ratio. So far, HEMI engines have been reproductive for more than half a century and have undergone up to three generations of development.
Corvette small-block engine: Chevrolet small-block engine was launched in 1953. It was initially 4.3 liters. Until 1970, the maximum displacement increased to 6.6 liters. The continuous enterprising spirit is the source of improvement in small block technology. The
5.7-liter engine is the longest-running displacement. It was completely discontinued from 1967 to 2003. It is widely used in various types of vehicles and has become the standard V8 engine of General Motors. It was later that it was gradually replaced by the LT/LS series engine that Volkswagen is more familiar with.
GM LS/LT series: GM LS/LT As the inheritance product of small-block, the requirement of "being better than being blue" is the most basic. The better performance is that it meets the requirements of smaller size, lighter weight, and larger displacement. In current American cars, most of the monsters from 300-horse muscle cars to more than 2,000-horse LS-based powertrains are powertrains.
Ford Flathead V8 series: Flahead V8 was born in 1932 and is the first V8 engine designed and manufactured by Ford itself. It is now very rare to use side valves. Although the power output efficiency is not high, it takes into account durability and good cost control. It is widely used in passenger cars and trucks. The life cycle of is for 40 years.
Flahead The biggest classic of V8 is that it achieves good cost control of V8 power. In an era when high-power V8 engines are a luxury, ordinary people can also consume V8 engines, which can also be said to have opened the door to Americans who highly value V8 engines.
Alison TC10 AT is a famous American transmission brand: it is known as the king of heavy-duty automatic transmissions. The world's first automatic transmission for trucks and nuclear buses was developed. Allison is located in Allison, Indiana, USA. It is not very common in China because most of its products are used by medium and large cars. At the 2017 Shanghai Auto Show, Allison launched this TC10 AT gearbox, which is more excellent in coupled power and convenient power transmission. China National Heavy Duty Truck is also one of its partners, and heavy-duty cars will be equipped with this transmission. Allison's unique features, performance and design flexibility, and smooth gear shifting improve passenger comfort, greatly reduce the driver's labor intensity, and improve the safety of the vehicle.
American cars' chassis technology is still relatively advanced. For example, Cadillac, a famous brand of the world's top ten automotive chassis, has a CT5 that has a 100-kilometer sudden braking distance of only 32 meters with the help of powerful wheel braking capabilities. Such performance can definitely defeat million-level sports cars such as Audi R8 and Nissan GTR. Cadillac is really crazy and even surpasses supercars. The top-end CT5 model is even equipped with a particularly attractive damping control suspension system. The maximum power of 174 kilowatts + variable valve management technology with tripower is very competitive from the perspective of three major components. However, CT5 still has a lot of room for improvement in the actual acceleration experience.
For example, the chassis of the American car brand Chevrolet Cruze , Cruze can be clearly seen from the chassis that Cruze’s demand for youth and sportiness is permeated with many design details; a large number of bushings and aluminum alloy lightweight designs further increase the dynamic response and driving texture of the chassis, which is consistent with the actual driving experience. If the protection of the lower part of of the engine compartment can be enhanced on this basis, it will be safer for users of suburban and rural road drivers.
4. The three major items of French automobiles
France is a powerful car engine country. French PSA's diesel engine can be regarded as the strongest in Europe, especially a small-displacement diesel engine, which is fuel-efficient and durable, and has strong power. For example, the famous Le Mans 24-hour car endurance race, PSA's 5.5T V12 diesel engine has a maximum power of 522KW and a maximum torque of 1200N·m. As soon as it appeared, it crushed all opponents, including the famous car brand Audi.
PSA's 1.6T THP has won the title of "International Engine of the Year Award" for many years. Its derivative 1.2THP turbocharged direct injection engine has also won the "International Engine of the Year" award many times, which is enough to prove the technical level of French engines. It is worth mentioning that PSA's EA888 engine has both power and fuel consumption and the same displacement are at the mid-to-upstream level. The THP series engines of the French system are remarkable in terms of durability, failure rate and smoothness.
France Dufran is one of the largest engine factories in Citroen France - the French Machinery Factory. It was jointly built by PSA Group and Renault Motor Company in 1969, covering an area of 148 hectares, with a total of 37.1 hectares of factory buildings, with a daily output of 4,950 units. Dufran is one of the veritable "core" dirty things in Europe.
French cars In the eyes of many French fans, French cars have the best chassis because in terms of handling, the French have adjusted the torsion beam suspension to the extreme. Especially in terms of comfort, there is no problem with the paved road surface of French vehicles that use torsion beams on a large area, but they cannot break through the inherent defects of the torsion beams. They will cope with road surfaces with poor road conditions, and there will be more throwing and jumping and lateral vibrations in the chassis.
It is worth mentioning that the French car Citroen has strong chassis tuning skills is recognized in the industry, and even BMW has purchased its chassis technology. As a brand of French cars, Citroen has very strong space safety and chassis texture. Especially in chassis training, French cars are the benchmark in the industry. In many people's memory, French cars basically use plate car suspension, but many car owners can experience the comfort of independent suspension in their daily driving.
Citroen has a strong foundation in tuning, which is exactly what Citroen is good at, so Citroen's chassis tuning is well deserved.
To sum up, French cars have a deep attainment in the chassis, especially the Citroen on the WRC track, which is enough to show the global market's recognition of it. The chassis of French cars gives people the feeling that they are very tough. Take the bad roads as an example. The chassis suspension of some gravel roads can filter out slight vibrations, and the filtering effect is much better than that of cars of the same level. On some mud pit roads, his suspension is very strong and firm, and does not give people a shaking feeling. It will also give people strong support.
5. The three major Korean automobile items
Hyundai Auto As one of the world's five major car series, its strength cannot be underestimated. Hyundai Motor is very well-known worldwide. Hyundai's engine development path began by imitating Japanese and European and American engines. With a lot of imitations, Korean cars had their own engines in the early 1990s. The engines of Korean cars are somewhat similar to those of Japanese cars, and they pay more attention to durability, stability, and fuel consumption characteristics. The ultimate performance development of the engine is not as outstanding as European and American cars; in terms of vehicle driving sense, Korean cars are also very similar to Japanese cars. For example, the throttle response of the vehicle is quite positive, and the fuel consumption is left as soon as it is supplied, and the vehicle fuel consumption is relatively low.
Hyundai Motor has almost mastered the world's top engine technology. For example, turbocharger technology, cylinder closing technology, valve timing and variable valve lift technology, direct injection technology in the cylinder, aluminum alloy cylinder block (small machine, lightweight), integrated technology of cylinder head and exhaust manifold , and engine oil breaking control technology, Korean cars have these relatively famous and advanced engine technologies.
Due to the continuous breakthroughs in the new technology field of Korean cars and have been widely used on many engines, and the engine durability and stability have withstood the test, Korean cars' engines have been recognized by the world. The most prominent one is the "Ward Top Ten Engines". This honor also represents the world's top engine and has the best technical level. Korean-style engines have been on the list many times, and the frequency of them even surpasses that of major Japanese-style car series.
Most car owners are well-known to Korean 1.4T turbocharged engines. This engine is widely used in models such as Leader and IX35. This engine also integrates various new engine technologies, with low fuel consumption, strong power and low noise. The Leading 1.4T engine is also the only small-displacement engine in 2017 to be listed as the "Ward Top Ten" and has defeated many car companies. It is worth mentioning that the GDI injection technology of the Hyundai 1.6L self-priming engine and the Hyundai 1.6T turbocharged engine are also Ward's top ten engines.
In the field of transmission, Korean cars have a rich product line. Mobis is a wholly-owned gearbox factory of Hyundai, South Korea. The factory has a complete transmission product line, with a mature 6AT at the low end, a developing 7DCT at the terminal, and a high end, and an 8AT at the high end. It can be said that South Korea's gearbox has deep technical R&D strength.
Hyundai-Kia Group mass-produces three different transmission technologies: DCT, CVT, and AT, and has developed different gearboxes for front-wheel drive models and rear-wheel drive models. Faced with the trend of gradual hot hybrid technology, HEV hybrid distribution mechanism and matching automatic transmission have also been specially developed. Mainly producing gearboxes for Hyundai-Kia Group are Hyundai's POWERTECH and DYMOS. PaiWERTECH are mainly responsible for AT and CVT gearboxes, and DYMOS mainly produces DCT gearboxes and manual gearboxes.
As early as 2011, Hyundai gave birth to a plan to develop a dry 7-speed DCT gearbox. After three years of research and development, Hyundai's DYMOS company finally mass-produced it. European Hyundai Sonata and Kia Cee’d became the first models to be equipped with this independent 7-speed DCT.
mainly produces AT gearboxes for Hyundai-Kia Group. Compared with 8AT, the 4AT, 5AT and 6AT technologies are more mature. Not only have they matched a lot of models, but even Jeep uses Hyundai AT gearboxes.
Korean cars have not bad at all in the world. Perhaps some old models had a hard chassis, rough chassis, lacking softness, but in the next decade, the chassis of Korean cars has been quite good, not inferior to the Japanese, and has no obvious shortcomings compared to the European series. Overall, Korean cars have high chassis technology and strong control.
For example, the GT version of Kia Stinger 2.0T has a stable chassis and good control; there are 2.0T 5 Series and 37 Q50. It can be said that these two cars represent the higher control level of the German and Japanese series (it cannot be achieved at the extreme, but it is definitely the forefront in civilian cars), but the heavy chassis of Stinger does not belong to the BMW 5 Series and its flexibility is not inferior to the Q50. Especially after BMW M-series boss Albert Bielman entered Hyundai Motor, Hyundai Motor's chassis technology was qualified to compete with European and American car series. Especially in recent years, Hyundai has participated in almost all kinds of racing competitions, which is an intuitive reflection of the comprehensive advancement of chassis technology.
