In Japan there are two types of driving license. That valid for driving any motor vehicle and one reserved exclusively for those who are behind the wheel of a car with automatic . It costs about 200 € less and is required by 56% of the drivers of the rising sun. No coincidence that the consensus here dedicated to the automatic transmission in 2015 was equal to 94.6% .i, in a market where Suzuki has sold 636,000 units with automatic transmission, representing 89.1% of total of its sales. In Italy the official figures date back to 2013 and unfortunately indicate a market share for the segments A, B and C by 7.2%, of which 5.8% held by Suzuki. Faithful to the role of advanced technology in the industry, the Japanese manufacturer intends to exceed the average of the Italian market reaching 10%. As? Offering its entire range with automatic transmission.
Evolution also for future models. So, from city car Celerio, with robotized transmission , to the compact Jimny Swift and equipped with automatic transmission, electronically controlled torque converter equipped with four-speed, switching to crossover S-Cross proposal with 1.6 petrol and diesel engines which provides for the latter the use of a CVT transmission while the diesel engine is coupled to a six-speed dual-clutch technology. Two transmissions, both with six gears, even for Vitara: automatic with torque converter for the version with petrol engine and dual clutch for that equipped with the turbodiesel. The evolution of Suzuki automatic transmission is bound to involve the future models, such as the Vitara S, waiting at dealerships next spring in the version with 6-speed automatic transmission with torque converter. Arriving at the same time the new Baleno with engines 1.0 and 1.2 Boostejet DualJet , respectively, available in versions with six-speed automatic transmission and CVT.
Here Vitara. The appearance of course does not change as the substance. So, who looks to the concrete interior with a touch of elegance, but also with a rich set of arrangements. For the version with all-wheel drive , with numerous devices that allow you to safely deal with difficult situations fund, the new is precisely the automatic dual-clutch six-speed gearbox mated to the 1.6 diesel. In city traffic the double clutch is well suited to the characteristics of the engine. Gear changes are smooth with a selection of fast ratios. If desired, it can be driven using the steering wheel paddles and also manually, that is, in a sequential manner. As for the 1.6-liter turbodiesel offers a boost “robust” and adjust right from low revs for a casual and lively march.
Walking with the Celerio. A small that you do not He loses in finery and, like the other Suzuki, on substance but keeps. And the little Japanese fielding some qualities, like the good feeling with the city. Merit in this case the automatic gearbox that still can not boast the flow characteristics of an automatic, but that carries its job well. Gear changes, they just feel. The limit of the robotized transmissions, in fact, is to delegate to actuators for the work of the driver to disengage and engage the clutch, modulating the throttle and engage the next gear. The combination with the three-cylinder 68 hp 1000 still managed, even better if you have the foresight to use it with a little gas because if you insist with the accelerator vacuum of torque between an input of a gear and the ‘On the other there is a clear limit and can become annoying. The robotic Suzuki, which also offers Manual mode in which the driver has the right to choose for themselves when to change and the relationship, is among the few to be equipped with drive system very useful when parking.
The list of automatic transmissions Suzuki. need 700 euro for the automatic gearbox on Celerio, 1,000 and 1,300 for the Swift for the Jimny feature of the automatic with torque converter four relationships; it occorno 1100, however, to mount the CVT on the S-Cross. As for the Vitara, finally, with 1,500 Euros you can take the six-speed torque converter (petrol versions) and 1,700 Euros the double clutch (also available for the S-Cross with diesel engines).
