Just read what Kia will be adding to their 2020 platform:
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/dri...forte-gts-modest-looks-belie-its-zippy-drive/
Much like the 2019 Hyundai Elantra GT N Line,
It will have their 1.6 turbo paired with a DCT, making 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque.
Full disclaimer, some of these models/trims seem to be only offered in Canada but wondering if anyone has had any experience with this platform and specifically the 7 speed Dual Clutch transmission?
Hope that the Civic is offered with a similar transmission next gen, as much as i'm now used to the CVT.
Overall, I've read better reviews with DCT than CVTs especially with higher TQ/HP.
It seems like Honda decided to go with CVT for the 10th gens based on cost/efficiency which would make perfect sense for the 2.0 non turbo platform but doesn't make sense to me for the 1.5 Turbo.
Interested to hear your thoughts.
