传统AT vs DCT:在拥堵时,你应该挂在D档还是N档?

开自排车遇上堵车,你是应该挂着D档踩住煞车,还是换到N档拉手煞车呢? 不同的人有不同的答案 之前,有很多人都认为应该挂在D档上,而且要避免车子在D档和N档频繁切换,因为这样会对传动系统造成不必要的换挡冲击。 但在我们今天的这种交通状况下,这种说法还适用吗?而且,现在的自排变速箱,也已经与25年前的完全不同了。 自排变速箱已经发展出了多个种类,这就带来了一个问题:这些旧观点是否仍然正确呢? 当下有3类主要的自排变速系统——扭力转换器、无级变速和双离合自排。 扭力转换器是最常见的一种类型。 尽管扭力转换器已经是“老技术”了,但这类变速箱依然很受高端车型的欢迎,因为它们能够承受很大的扭力输出。除非有特别说明,在大部分情况下,自排指的就是扭力转换器变速箱。 无级变速器(CVT)最适合城市通路车。 这种变速系统备受日本制造商的青睐,在走走停停的城市路况中,这类变速箱有着最平顺的动力输出(Proton Iriz和Persona上顿挫的CVT是例外),并且也很省油,但这种特性也让它缺少了一点驾驶乐趣。 双离合变速箱(DCT)则很受德国制造商的喜爱,它的换挡时间很短,有着十足的驾驶乐趣。不过,在走走停
