Ngemva kokulungiswa kwesithombe somkhiqizo nge-logo entsha, ongayibona lapha, uhlobo lwaseBrithani manje seluletha ukuhanjiswa okusha okuzenzakalelayo, ekugcineni, nge-clutch ephindwe kabili.
I-automatic transmission yaphambilini ebisetshenziswa kwa-MINI, yona le ebisetshenziswa iminyaka yakwaBMW, ibiphuma ku-ZF, ihamba ngamasivinini “ayisithupha kuphela” kanti nakuba ingekho iphutha kodwa idalwe yijubane lika-gearbox odonsa kabili.
Njengoba inamagiya asheshayo, entofontofo futhi isebenza kangcono, iSeven-speed Steptronic automatic transmission izotholakala njengendlela eshintshwayo edonsa ngamagiya ayisithupha ashintshwayo, iphinde iqinisekise ukunyakaza kwamagiya ngaphandle kokuphazanyiswa yitorque.
Lo mkhiqizo uthi injabulo yokushayela iyathuthukiswa, kuyilapho ukunethezeka kokushayela kwe-automatic transmission kugcinwa.
Okuhambisana nalolu shintsho kuphinde kube nesikhethi esisha esinezici zokubuyela ngokuzenzakalelayo endaweni yokuqala, ngemva kokukhetha izindlela zika-D, N kanye no-R, kuyilapho ukuma kwepaki (P) manje sekwenziwa kusebenze ngenkinobho engaphezulu kwe-lever. Eqinisweni, uhlelo luzosebenza ngendlela efanayo nakumamodeli womkhiqizo womama, i-BMW, ngomyalo wohlobo lwe-joystick. I-Sport mode (S) icushwa ngokuyisa okokukhetha kwesokunxele, njengemodi yezandla (M).
Isikhethi esisha sizophinde sithuthukise ukunethezeka kwezindlela zokupaka zansuku zonke.
Iyini i-double clutch?
Uma i-clutch eyodwa “isebenza”, enye “ayisebenzi” futhi ayidluliseli amandla emasondweni. Ngakho-ke, lapho umyalo wokushintsha isilinganiso unikezwa, esikhundleni sesistimu yegiya eyinkimbinkimbi, kwenzeka into elula kakhulu: i-clutch eyodwa ingena esenzweni futhi enye ingena "ekuphumuleni".
Enye yezintambo iphethe amagiya alinganayo (2,4,6…) kuyilapho enye iphethe amagiya angajwayelekile (1,3,5,7… kanye no-R). Bese kuba umbuzo wokuthi ama-clutches ashintshana ukusiza u-gearbox ukufeza umsebenzi wawo: ukunciphisa ukunyakaza kwe-crankshaft futhi uyidlulisele emasondweni.
Ukuthunyelwa okusha kuphinde kuhlanganise nokusebenza okuvumela, ngohlelo lokuzulazula, ukuzivumelanisa ngokuzenzekelayo isilinganiso esilungile kunazo zonke semali yomcimbi.
Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi igiya egiyeni lihlezi lilungile, i-electronic control system ka-gearbox ibuye ihlaziye unomphela umgwaqo, ukuma kwe-throttle, isivinini senjini, ijubane elifanele lohlobo lomzila kanye nemodi yokushayela ekhethiwe, ngaleyo ndlela ikwazi ukubikezela inhloso yomshayeli.
Ngale ndlela, ibhokisi elisha liphinde lizuze ukusetshenziswa okungcono kanye namazinga aphansi okukhishwa okungcolile.
Ukusetshenziswa kwebhokisi elisha kulindeleke ukuthi kwenziwe emikhiqizweni kusukela ngo-March 2018, kanye namamodeli anezicabha ezintathu nezinhlanu, kuhlanganise nokuhluka kwe-cabrio. Noma iyiphi kuzona izohlale ikhona ezinguqulweni ze-MINI One, MINI Cooper, MINI Cooper S kanye neMINI Cooper D. IMINI Cooper SD kanye neJohn Cooper Works enguqulweni kusazomele ihambisane ne-8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission.
