Gearshift Setup/Shifting Characteristic

Gearshift Setup/shifting Characteristic

The spread over 8 gears also allows better exploitation of the torque advantage of the synchronous motor, particularly in the lower transmission ranges when driving solely on electric power and during boosting. The transmission is mounted directly on the hybrid module and is important for efficient and comfortable power transmission in all hybrid-specific driving modes, e.g. during recuperation. The shifting characteristic was adapted to increase recuperation performance during the recovery of brake force through adaptation of the gear-changing speeds (downshifts) or to achieve a comfortable restart of the combustion engine when driving solely on electric power with reduced shifting frequency. The special adaptation of the 8-speed Tiptronic ensures an optimum gearshift strategy during boosting with additional drive torque from the electric motor.
