9-Speed transmission gearbox
The 9-speed transmission gearbox used in the Range Rover Evoque and in other premium vehicles is built by German manufacturer ZF, a global leader in driveline and chassis technology. ZF is also one of the 10 largest automotive suppliers worldwide.
The 9-speed transmission is one of ZF's most state-of-the-art products. It is also one of the most technologically-advanced gearboxes in the industry and has the most gears of any mass-produced gearbox currently available. The 9-speed transmission provides more comfort when switching gears, and also shortens the time between gear changes. This allows for better fuel efficiency, as the gearbox is more precise in when in delivers the power.
The advantages of a 9-speed transmission are obvious when compared to its 5-speed and 6-speed predecessors.
