Does the Changan Oshan X7 PLUS have a manual transmission?
2 Answers
Changan Oshan X7 PLUS has nine pre-sale models, three of which are manual transmission models. Below is a partial introduction to the Changan Oshan X7 PLUS: Exterior Design: The new car continues the design style of the Oshan X7, appearing more youthful overall. The large-sized front grille features blackened diamond-shaped mesh, paired with split-type LED headlight clusters on both sides, giving the entire front a very refined look. Body Dimensions: The Changan Oshan X7 PLUS measures 4730/1870/1720mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2786mm.
I remember the Changan Oshan X7 PLUS did have a manual transmission version before, such as the 2022 1.5T Manual Luxury model equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Back then, the manual version was about 20,000 to 30,000 yuan cheaper than the automatic, offering great value for money. However, automatic transmissions have become mainstream in recent years. Looking at the official 2023 configuration sheet, all models now come with automatic transmissions—either a 7-speed dual-clutch or 8AT—so the manual version is likely discontinued. Honestly, driving a manual in city traffic is exhausting, and modern dual-clutch transmissions shift faster, save more fuel, and are more beginner-friendly. If you're particularly set on a manual, you could check with dealerships for leftover 2022 models or look for used 2022 versions. Otherwise, you might need to consider other brands.
