Who is more durable？ Nissan steel chain CVT gearbox vs Volkswagen 7 wet double clutch

Gearbox dispute: CVT or DCT, who is more resistant to operation?

It is said that there has been another dispute in the automobile circle recently. This time, the steel chain CVT is competing with Volkswagen’s 7-speed wet dual clutch. As a person who doesn’t know anything about cars, my first reaction is: aren’t these two iron boxes installed in cars? What’s there to argue about? But if you think about it carefully, this is not a trivial matter, it is related to our driving experience and the thickness of our wallet!

Speaking of CVT, it’s like a diligent old ox, and he doesn’t make mistakes when he works quickly. It doesn’t have a fixed ratio, just like a mind-reading assistant, it can adjust the speed according to your needs at any time, making you feel as smooth as floating in the clouds when driving. Moreover, this guy is particularly fuel-efficient, and he is simply the best partner of frugal drivers.

However, CVT also has its small temper. In the case of high speed or heavy load, it is a little overwhelmed, just like a long-distance runner who is suddenly asked to lift weights and is a little uncomfortable. Moreover, the internal structure of CVT is quite special, and maintenance may make your wallet thinner.

Let’s talk about the dual clutch. This guy is like a personality fanatic, and the speed of shifting gears dazzles you. It has two clutches, one for odd gears and the other for even gears, which are perfectly matched. It feels like playing a racing game, and you are so responsive that you seem to be a professional driver.

However, this "master" also has his own shortcomings. Complex structure means high maintenance cost, and it may be a bit "pumping" at low speed, just like an eccentric artist, sometimes giving you a little surprise.

After all, these two gearboxes are like friends with different personalities. CVT is a steady and reliable honest person, suitable for friends who like to drive comfortably and smoothly. However, it is the kind of passionate and energetic school, which is more suitable for fans who pursue passion and performance.

As for who is more resistant to exercise? It depends on how you fuck. If you are a gentle driver and often drive around the city, CVT may be more suitable for you. It can not only make your driving more comfortable, but also save you a lot of gas money. But if you are a "speed freak" who loves high-speed driving, those clutches may be more to your taste. It can give you faster response and stronger power output, and let you gallop on the expressway.

However, no matter which gearbox you choose, the most important thing is to take good care of it. Just like taking care of your pet, regular physical examination and regular feeding (oil change) are essential. For CVT, attention should be paid to inspection and replacement or chain to avoid long-term high-load operation. For the dual clutch, it needs to be overhauled in a professional service center. After all, its "temper" is more complicated and needs professionals to "serve".

The article is almost over. I have a question to ask you here: If you had to choose between a smooth and fuel-efficient CVT and a passionate dual clutch, what would you choose? Do you pursue a comfortable economy or prefer passion? Welcome to share your thoughts in the comments section!
