Suzuki has introduced a new double-clutch transmission on the UK-spec Suzuki S-Cross, dubbed the Twin Clutch System by Suzuki (TCCS). Said transmission – which offers drivers the option to change gears via paddle shifters – will be offered as a £1,350 (RM7,920) option on the Suzuki S-Cross 1.6 DDiS Allgrip variant.
The TCSS transmission, comprised of hydraulically-operated clutches, is said to offer the convenience of automatic gearbox. Said system utilises one clutch for the first, third and fifth gears while the second is responsible for the even-numbered gears. The six-speed double-clutch transmission gets paired to a 1.6 litre Euro 6-compliant DDiS four-cylinder diesel engine.
Said mill produces a total of 120 PS at 3,750 rpm while torque output is rated at 320 Nm from 1,750 rpm. Compared to the variant equipped with the six-speed manual, the TCCS-endowed S-Cross achieves a fuel consumption rating of 26.7 km/l on the combined cycle while CO2 emissions stand at 118 g/km.
Separately, Suzuki UK has also announced the availability of a new six-speed automatic transmission on the Vitara. A £1,350 (RM7,920) option, the new automatic transmission boasts wider ratios to allow the engine to run at lower speeds when cruising. Drivers can also opt to select the gears manually via the shift paddles.
When paired to an Allgrip-equipped model, fuel consumption is rated at 21 km/l on the combined cycle while CO2 emissions are quoted at 131 g/km – a mere 1 g/km penalty over a 4WD variant with a six-speed manual transmission. A two-wheel drive variant with the automatic emits just 127 grams of CO2 for every kilometre.

Another AMT gearbox? Whatever that crap better give 50 yrs or lifetime warranty.
What your prob mehhh….dont like dont buy la…it easy right….
I’ll correct your misconception. AMT is an automated manual transmission. DCT is dual clutch transmission. They are mechanically different.
AMT is essentially a manual gearbox with automated clutch operation, meaning you don’t have a clutch pedal to work with, but still need to change gears yourself (upshift only in the case of Proton Savvy, downshift is automatic).
DCT works like a normal auto box, but the mechanics are similar to a manual gearbox in that it use clutches to engage the gears.
More info, please read on wikipedia.
Good job Suzuki
Since P1 sign MOU with Suzuki. Probably P1 will be using Suzuki tech for their next Saga replacement. Other model maybe will be introduce by P1 with collaboration within. However, most of us still doubt P1. But P1 will not be able to survive for long term ever since they have been working with MMC. P1 is very lack of car building experience. Korean this day has improved gradually, they gained knowledge from other manufacture but not collaboration. In the end Korean car is better than P1 even they begin around the same time. Not to mention RV. Every car suffer RV. If car pricing above 100k, for sure it will suffer the most. For car pricing below 100k, RV will not be that worse but depend on brand as well. Proton doesn’t need ppl to ask them to improved or saying anything to encourage them. The entire company structure of organising must fully reworked. Malaysian suffer from buying good car especially foreign brand. But G and P1 just ignore as long as they want,due to ensuring the survivor of this company.
Yea and if the collaboration really works, this DCT could be used on Suprima (and probably next-gen Satria). Because with current CVT gearbox, it really limits Suprima’s chassis and engine potential.
If they want to have a DCT gearbox, they don’t need a JV. They can purchase directly from GETRAG or ZF.
P1 need better people with interest in automotive industry to run the company… Not because of money and of course better vendor that supply quality components. P1 produced a good car (I use two of them) but seriously lack of build quality. mostly due to easily broken plastic and very minor problem such as improper installation of radio.
it might same situation during Proton with Mitsu, they introduce Mitsu Lancer then follows by proton inspira after 6-12 months. this could be Proton 1st suv if they decide to rebadge. it just my guess, to take any granted
I hope they just rebadge it. Proton is a motor industry scale 1MDB.
It’s been 30 years since and they are still nowhere. Look at Naza. I think they are doing much better than Proton just by putting their own badge onto what is effectively a Kia/Peugeot for example. At the end of the day, it’s not about pride, but rather about presenting foods on the table.
What? You think this is My Kitchen Rules?
TCSS gearbox? Talk Cock Sing Song gearbox, guaranteed to breakdown after a few months
