Does the Leopaard CS10 have an automatic transmission?

The Leopaard CS10 is equipped with an automatic transmission. The vehicle is powered by a 2.0T engine from Shenyang Aerospace Mitsubishi, delivering a maximum power of 140kW and a peak torque of 250Nm, paired with a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. The automatic transmission variant of the Leopaard CS10 shares the same exterior design as the manual transmission models currently on sale, featuring a honeycomb front grille design with the Leopaard logo inscribed on the metal trim above the grille. The Leopaard CS10 is the flagship urban SUV model of Leopaard, with body dimensions measuring 4663mm in length, 1875mm in width, and 1700mm in height.

As a Leopaard CS10 owner for nearly three years, my model is indeed the automatic transmission version equipped with CVT gearbox, which proves quite hassle-free to drive. For daily city commutes like school runs with frequent traffic lights, it's significantly more convenient than manual transmissions. The trunk offers massive space - perfectly adequate for weekend camping gear. Fuel consumption averages around 9L/100km in urban areas, dropping to 7L on highways. The main drawback lies in mediocre shift smoothness, particularly noticeable during cold morning starts with slight jerks. The chassis feels robust with minimal body roll over speed bumps, though tire noise is somewhat pronounced. Prospective buyers are advised to test-drive and evaluate the gearshift responsiveness firsthand.

I test drove the automatic transmission version of the Leopaard CS10, which uses a 6AT gearbox. The steering wheel feels a bit heavy, so female drivers might need some time to adjust. The power delivery is quite smooth—stepping on the accelerator won’t make it lurch forward suddenly. The seats are firm but provide decent lumbar support for long-distance driving. It comes with cruise control, making highway driving more effortless. The spacious interior is a highlight, comfortably seating three adults in the back. The trunk is neatly designed, easily accommodating a stroller. Maintenance-wise, a minor service at the 4S shop costs around 500 RMB, while transmission fluid replacement is about 800 RMB. The chassis is tuned for off-road performance, so vibration damping on bumpy roads is average. Overall, for an automatic SUV in this price range, the features are quite generous.

After researching the CS10's specifications, the automatic transmission models come in several versions, all equipped with a 1.5T engine. The transmission options include CVT and 6AT, with CVT recommended for smoother city driving. Electronic parking brake and auto hold come standard across the range, preventing rollback on hills. The top trim features a panoramic sunroof and heated seats. Fuel consumption averages 8.3L in real-world tests, and it runs on 92-octane fuel. With a ground clearance of 195mm, it offers good off-road capability. The 1.6-ton curb weight ensures decent control over body roll during turns. Safety features include ABS+EBD+ESP, with side airbags in higher trims. The heated and defogging side mirrors are practical in rainy weather.
