Automatic Transmission: Choosing Between 6AT and CVT?

1 Answers

Overall, CVT is more suitable for daily commuting, while 6AT is better suited for those who pursue driving experience. The differences between 6AT and CVT are as follows: 1. Service life: The 6AT transmission has a longer service life. 2. Transmission efficiency: The 6AT transmission combines mechanical and hydraulic transmission, utilizing a torque converter + planetary gear set and an electronically controlled shifting structure, which can withstand greater torque; CVT transmission, or continuously variable transmission, is not affected by gears and relies entirely on a steel belt connecting the primary and secondary pulleys to achieve continuous ratio changes, thus offering higher transmission efficiency, but it cannot withstand as much torque as the 6AT transmission. 3. Fuel economy: The 6AT transmission is more commonly used in large-displacement, high-power models and does not have the advantage of fuel efficiency; CVT transmissions are mostly used in some family cars, offering better fuel economy and smoothness compared to 6AT.

What Causes Heavy Steering Wheel When Driving?

The reasons for a heavy steering wheel are as follows: 1. Dirty power steering fluid can cause the steering wheel to become increasingly heavy, and a lack of power steering fluid can also make the steering wheel feel heavier. If the issue is with the power steering fluid, it should be promptly added or replaced; 2. If there is a fault in the electric power steering system, check whether the fuse is blown, or if there is an open circuit or a short to ground in the wiring; 3. When the electric power steering is repeatedly turned at a standstill or at low speeds, the steering wheel places a significant load on the power system, which can easily cause the steering gear to enter high-temperature protection mode, resulting in heavy steering. It will return to normal after cooling down, which is a normal phenomenon.

What is the recommended speed during the break-in period of a car?

During the initial break-in period (below 500 km), the vehicle speed should not be too fast, maintaining between 60 to 70 km/h with engine RPM not exceeding 2,200. When the mileage reaches approximately 500 to 1,000 km (mid break-in period), the speed can be increased from 60-70 km/h to 90-100 km/h, keeping RPM below 2,500. Throughout the engine break-in period, it's advisable to keep RPM under 2,000. This allows the engine components to wear in smoothly through operation, achieving optimal clearance and extending engine lifespan. Brake break-in: New vehicles have slightly uneven surfaces on brake discs and pads, preventing full contact during braking. Proper break-in helps achieve optimal braking performance and stopping distance.

How many kilowatt-hours does the Tang DM consume per charge?

The Tang DM utilizes a new ternary lithium battery with a total capacity ranging from 19.9 to 23.97 kWh. This capacity indicates that the battery requires 19 to 23 kilowatt-hours of electricity to charge from completely discharged to fully charged. By using a charging station and observing the displayed charging data, the actual charging amount can be obtained. Additional information: Plug-in hybrids differ from conventional hybrids in that they replenish their electrical energy through external charging. Their key technology allows for external charging, enabling pure electric mode driving. Once the battery is depleted, the vehicle switches to hybrid mode while simultaneously recharging the battery. Moreover, these vehicles are equipped with larger batteries capable of supporting extended driving periods.

How Often Should Automotive Freon Be Replaced?

There is no fixed replacement interval for automotive air conditioning Freon. Generally, when the cooling effect of the car's air conditioning deteriorates, it is advisable to check if the Freon is insufficient and replace or top it up if necessary. Below is some information about Freon: 1. High-quality refrigerant can ensure a service life of 2-3 years. Currently, the quality of refrigerants on the market varies greatly, so car owners must choose refrigerants that are legitimate and guaranteed in quality. 2. Using counterfeit or substandard refrigerants may provide cooling for a short period, but prolonged use can lead to refrigerant leakage, resulting in poor air conditioning performance, and in severe cases, it may cause damage to the air conditioning compressor.
