How reliable is the Dual-Clutch Transmission DCT in the Alsvin under Pakistani road and weather conditions?

DCTs are sensitive to heat and traffic. Are users in cities like Karachi, Lahore, o r Islamabad facing overheating, slipping, o r gear unavailable warnings after long drives?

Mixed reliability:

In hot cities Karachi, Lahore, Multan, users report:

Overheating warnings after prolonged city driving.

Slipping after long traffic jams.

Gear unavailable o r please wait messages after steep climbs o r extended driving.

In cooler regions o r highways, the DCT performs better.

The DCT’s dry-clutch design struggles in stop-go heat and heavy Pakistani traffic patterns.
