Why doesn't GM promote the 1.5T+6AT golden power combination?
Why does GM not popularize the 1.5T four-cylinder + 6at power combination, but popularize the power combination of 1.5T + CVT, I know that Chinese prefer the AT transmission, and the improved GM third-generation 6AT quality has no problem, I think if GM's Velang, Chevrolet Chuangku and other models all switch to 1.5T + 6at power combination, sales will be greatly improved.
Not using 1.5T+6at is nothing more than considering the following reasons:
First, the emission requirements, the universal CVT is more fuel-efficient than the general 6at.
Second, the cost of CVT is lower than that of at, but the general CVT is a newly developed steel, and the estimated cost is not low.
The third is the technical problem, 1.5T torque is relatively large, the current universal 6at can not withstand.
But no, GM's 6at has also combined 1.5T+6at before, this gearbox and Ford 6at jointly developed, this time The Focus is using the power combination of 1.5T+6at.
Compared to the Japanese CVT, Ashkenazi and autonomous dual clutches, GM's advantage is now the at transmission.
Don't understand the reasons for the consideration of universal? Please know that the great god instructs one or two.
