The Beidou Xing does have an automatic transmission, which is a manual-automatic integrated type. The Suzuki Beidou Xing is a small MPV model launched by Japan's Suzuki Motor Corporation, featuring spacious seating and being suitable for family use. The Suzuki Beidou Xing is equipped with a 1.4L 97 horsepower L4 naturally aspirated engine and a 5-speed manual transmission, with a maximum power of 71 kilowatts at 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque of 120 Newton-meters at 3600 rpm. The dimensions of the Suzuki Beidou Xing are 3400 mm in length, 1575 mm in width, and 1670 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2335 mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 42 liters and a luggage compartment capacity ranging from 633 liters to 1377 liters, with a curb weight of 900 kilograms.
I remember that after the 2010s, the Beidouxing started offering automatic transmission models. I drove my friend's Beidouxing automatic version, which uses a CVT transmission, and it was very smooth to drive, especially in city traffic where it saved a lot of effort. The automatic shifting made driving simpler, and even beginners could handle it easily. The fuel consumption was decent, slightly higher than the manual version, but considering the convenience, it's quite a bargain for a car in this price range. I recommend confirming it's the Changhe Beidouxing series when buying, as some new models might have added electronic assistance features—ask the 4S store about the latest models. Maintenance isn't expensive either; just check the transmission oil regularly. In short, the automatic version does exist and is suitable for daily commuting. Driving it for a few years feels like a good deal.
As a car enthusiast, I've done quite a bit of research on the Beidou Star automatic transmission models. It features an AMT semi-automatic transmission with a relatively simple structure, making it much easier to handle than manual transmissions. The gear shifts are smooth on highways, and while there's some jerkiness, it's perfectly adequate for city driving. After test driving several models, I found the automatic versions are tuned more for family use, with fuel consumption controlled at around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers. Related models like the Beidou Star X5 come equipped with this, costing a few thousand yuan more, but offering good value for money. Plus, the Beidou Star's spacious interior makes loading things convenient, and the automatic start-stop function adds to the fun—just pay attention to the official configuration sheet to not miss any detail optimizations. Actual experience depends on personal habits; if you prefer convenience, choosing the automatic is definitely the right move, allowing for a more relaxed drive.
