The following types of transmissions were installed in the Ford Focus 3:
Automatic torque converter transmission (ATG)
*PowerShift with dual clutch and 6 gears (only with 2.0L diesel engine)
* SelectShift with conventional torque converter and 6 gears (2.0L petrol engine only)
CVT (CVT)
* Powershift with two clutches and continuously variable transmission (with 1.6 l and 2.0 l petrol engines)
Which type to choose:
The choice between an automatic transmission and a CVT depends on your individual preferences and driving requirements.
Automatic:
* Advantages:
* More traditional and familiar powertrain
*Shifts gears smoothly in most cases
*Potentially higher reliability than CVT
* Flaws:
*May have delay when shifting gears
*May be less economical than CVT
CVT:
* Advantages:
* Very smooth shifting without jerking
*Potentially higher fuel efficiency
* Lower noise and vibration levels
* Flaws:
*Can create a rubber band feeling, especially under hard acceleration
* Potentially higher repair costs
If you prefer a traditional transmission and value reliability, then an automatic transmission may be the best choice. If you are looking for maximum smoothness and efficiency, then a CVT may be a more suitable option.
