Dual clutch transmission operation: The dual clutch transmission has 6 forward speeds and one reverse speed. The individual speeds are selected automatically, depending on the balance between the fuel economy and the power. 僅 The dual clutch transmission can be thought of as an automatically shifting manual transmission.

Unlike a traditional automatic transmission, the gear shifting can sometimes be felt and heard as the actuators engage the clutches and the gears are selected.
