My son has a 2017 Kia Ceed 1.6 diesel estate with a 7-speed DCT. It pulls well, changes gear really smoothly and returns high 50s mpg on a good run. VAG DCTs had loads of faults reported on Honest John a few years back, so are probably best avoided like the Dualogic.
I seem to think that will be the same Getrag DCT as the Clio, it's also in some Merc A Classes and I think the latest auto Mini, Puma and Fiesta (replaced the troublesome 6 sp Powershit.
Different versions, 7dct300, 400, 500 handle more or less torque, but the overall design and operation are pretty similar.
These are all wet clutch rather than the 6dct's dry clutch that caused some many problems.
