Baojun 730 has an automatic transmission, which uses a manual-automatic transmission. The following is an introduction to Baojun 730: 1. Baojun 730 is a family MPV product under SAIC-GM-Wuling Baojun. The overall design of Baojun 730 adopts a style similar to Baojun 630. The vehicle adopts a seven-seat layout, with a maximum cargo space of 1680L. 2. The Baojun 730 has a body length of 4685mm. The front suspension uses a MacPherson independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension. 3. Baojun 730 uses two engines in total, one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine is equipped with DVVT technology and multi-point electronic fuel injection technology, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and cast iron cylinder block. This engine is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or CVT transmission.
My family's Baojun 730 is the automatic transmission version, purchased in 2017. However, this car's automatic transmission might be different from what you imagine—it uses what's called an AMT gearbox, which is essentially a manual transmission with an added computer for automatic shifting. At traffic lights, you don't need to press the clutch, and in traffic jams, it does make driving easier on the feet. But occasionally, you might feel a slight jerk during gear shifts. On the highway, it drives quite smoothly, and reaching 120 km/h is no problem. Before buying, I recommend test-driving to experience this semi-automatic feel, as some people just don't like the shifting rhythm of AMT. The newer models now seem to have added a simulated 8-speed CVT version.
