How to choose a car gearbox？ WhAT’s the difference between MT, at, C VT and DCT？ Explain it at once.
Dear friends, have you ever been worried about choosing a car? AT, CVT, DCT, these terms are dazzling. Today, I will give you a general idea of the difference between these gearboxes, so as to help you not be confused when choosing a car.
1. Manual gearbox (MT)
First of all, we have to talk about the manual gearbox, which is MT. This kind of gearbox needs us to do it ourselves and shift gears according to factors such as speed and speed. It’s like a "hands-on" friend, which needs us to worry more. But it is this "hurry-scurry" that makes many people feel that MT is a bit troublesome. Moreover, many novice drivers are not sure about the timing of shifting, and it is easy to have problems such as frustration and flameout. So, MT gearbox is more suitable for drivers who like driving and pursue a sense of control. Low fuel consumption, cheap maintenance and high durability.
2. Automatic gearbox (AT)
Automatic gearbox, that is, AT, can be said to be the gospel of lazy people. Step on the accelerator and the gearbox will automatically help you choose the right gear. There is no need to worry about the frustration caused by the wrong shift timing. Moreover, the AT gearbox has fast response speed and smooth shifting, which makes driving easier. However, AT gearbox also has its shortcomings. First of all, its cost and maintenance are relatively high; Secondly, some AT gearboxes will feel frustrated at low speed. So, AT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pursue driving comfort.
3. Continuously variable transmission (CVT)
Continuously variable transmission, that is, CVT, can be said to be the "chameleon" in the transmission. It is not in the traditional sense, but transmits power through two cone wheels and steel belts. This means that it can continuously change the transmission ratio and make the acceleration of the vehicle smoother. CVT gearbox performs very well in urban commuting and daily transportation, and its fuel consumption is relatively low. But ah, CVT gearbox also has its shortcomings. For example, its carrying capacity is relatively small and it is not suitable for intense driving; For another example, some CVT gearboxes will slip when accelerating rapidly. So, CVT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pay attention to economy and comfort.
4.（DCT）
Dual clutch gearbox, namely DCT, can be said to be the choice of high-end players. It combines the advantages of manual gearbox and automatic gearbox, and has the characteristics of fast response and smooth shift. At high speed, DCT gearbox can provide better acceleration performance and fuel economy. But ah, DCT gearbox also has its shortcomings. For example, its manufacturing cost is high; For another example, the technical requirements for drivers are relatively high. So, DCT gearbox is more suitable for friends who pursue high performance and driving pleasure.
Having said that, everyone should have a general understanding of these gearboxes. Actually, which gearbox to choose depends on your own needs and preferences. If you are a driver who likes driving and pursues a sense of control, then MT gearbox is definitely the best choice. If you are a friend who pursues driving comfort, then AT gearbox is definitely more suitable for you. If you are a friend who pays attention to economy and comfort, then CVT gearbox will definitely not let you down; If you are a friend who pursues high performance and driving pleasure, then DCT gearbox can definitely meet your needs. Personally, I recommend Aisin and ZF AT gearbox, but CVT doesn’t recommend it.
Finally, what I want to say is that no matter what kind of gearbox you choose, safety is the most important. So, while enjoying driving, we should always remember that safety comes first! I hope this article can be helpful to everyone, and I wish you all the best in choosing your favorite model! If you like it, just like it. If you don’t like it, just say something about me.
