What is G Tronic Plus?
The 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission has seven gears which keep the engine speed as low as possible in every driving situation. The wide gear ratio range and finely graduated gears reduce the leaps in revs when changing gear. This leads to comfortable gear-changing and saves fuel.

What does 7G-Tronic mean on Mercedes?
7G-TRONIC is Mercedes-Benz’s trademark name for its seven-speed automatic transmission. This fifth-generation transmission was introduced in the Autumn of 2003 on 8-cylinder models, and was the first seven-speed automatic transmission ever used on a production vehicle.
What does 7-speed automatic mean?
The 7-speed automatic transmission, with its wide range of transmission gear ratios, high speed of shifting, and possibility of manual gearshifts, is a perfect fit for the modern dynamic roadster when driving on high-speed roads, without having to sacrifice comfort when driving in the city in automatic mode.
How much power can 7G-Tronic handle?
The power load rating figure is under 400Bhp for the 7G. However I think a 7 speed in anything more than a 350 is pointless since the bigger engined cars have plenty of torque to keep things going. If I was you I’d stick to the normal 5speed in the 430.
What is 9G-TRONIC Plus?
The 9G-TRONIC, an upgrade from the legendary and innovative 7G-TRONIC, utilizes a similar drive program, keeping engine revs low by shifting gears early, offering imperceptible gear changes for the most comfortable ride imaginable. While increasing comfort, the lower revs also reduce the noise level.
How good is 7G Tronic transmission?
The 7G-TRONIC offers outstanding performance all round – as well as reducing fuel consumption significantly, it also performs gear changes more quickly and more smoothly than existing automatic transmissions.

Is DCT better than CVT?
Overall cost-benefit. Due to complex infrastructure and design, DCTs are usually costlier than CVTs, although it also depends on the car. Both transmissions are found in the higher variants of the vehicles. CVTs are relatively more reliable than DCTs in terms of fuel efficiency and durability.
Is DCT and DSG the same?
The Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) also termed as Direct-Shift Gearbox Transmission (DSG), is a widely popular transmission system in current mainstream cars.
What automatic gearbox does Mercedes use?
9G-TRONIC automatic transmission
The 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission from Mercedes-Benz is the world’s first automatic transmission to feature a hydrodynamic torque converter. The transmission transfers torque using a fluid, rather than a mechanical clutch.
How does the 7G-TRONIC PLUS work?
The 7G-TRONIC PLUS operates even more smoothly, quickly and economically than the first generation of the 7G-TRONIC. Its efficiency has been optimised by measures such as an engine connection offering a further reduction in converter slip and markedly diminished gear friction losses.

What is the difference between a 5G and 7G transmission?
Old post, but food for thought…The 5G is capable of 796 lb-ft of torque whereas the 7G can only handle 542 lb-ft. Probably manufactured with smaller components to keep a similar sized package, thus weaker. Hello everyone! I have 2004 S500L with 5- speed transmission in it.
