Re: 7 Speed DCT Vs 8 Speed TC Gearbox

I have experiences (V60) from both transmissions (8-speed Aisin and 7 speed DCT). For some reason this 8-speed Aisin is smoothier in diesel than in petrol engine. I have also had a chance to test these both transmissions in V60 B4 petrol and I can say that 7-speed DCT is extremely good and smoothier...

Re: XC40 R Design B4P 7 SPEED

Thank you. On balance I would like the 7 speed DSG but not that fussed if it is an 8 speed. When I ordered, the current price list at the time specified 7 speed DSG. I ordered V60 B4 Inscription 9/21 (estimated delivery end of Feb 22) and price list + order clearly stated DCT transmission. At least...

Re: Model line-up change !

I think this is happening because of a pending Facelift in 2022... I thought that at first but they've made this change to every model.
