The manual transmission index consists of three characters: one letter and a pair of numbers.

The letter F indicates front-wheel drive, and the numbers indicate the power rating: 20 is 200 Nm.

The index of a typical robotic transmission consists of seven different characters.

  • The first digit is the number of gears; currently, only 6- or 7-speed transmissions exist.
  • DCT stands for Dual-Clutch Transmission.
  • The last digits indicate the transmission’s power rating: 150, 300, or 500 Nm.
