Q. How is the performance of DCT tranmission?

We started the driving experience with the DCT and what better way to start a drive in a sporty car than to do a little launch off the line. To protect the DSG gearbox, the software doesn’t allow you to build revs before a launch. And this means that the initial acceleration is a little sluggish but soon that turbo spools up and the strong midrange kicks in. And you want to stay in that midrange, keeping the engine spinning between 3000rpm and 4500rpm. Post this the engine loses steam and it’s better to shift up a gear. It’s a very familiar feeling and that’s because the engine is exactly the same as the standard car - the one downer to the i20 N Line. It’s not really slow, though, and when we tested the standard car we managed a timing of 10.88 seconds from 0-100kmph, so we’d expect this to be in that same ballpark. The quickest in the segment is still the Polo TSI with its manual transmission clocking 9.66 seconds to 100kmph while the Polo GT automatic does it in 10.79 seconds. The DCT gives you similar control over gear changes with a manual mode and paddle shifters but adds the convenience of two drive modes. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test drive for a better understanding of performance and comfort.
