Wuling Journey does not have an automatic transmission. The relevant introduction of Wuling Journey is as follows: Introduction 1: The new car adopts the "minimalist geometry" design concept, with a relatively square and simple overall appearance. In terms of body size, the new car measures 5150/1840/1895mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 3180mm. Introduction 2: In terms of colors, the new car will offer four solid colors: Glacier White, Wave Silver, Earth Gray, and Starry Night Black, as well as four two-tone body designs: Green + White, Blue + White, Brown + White, and Yellow + White. Additionally, the new car will be equipped with 16-inch wheels and tires sized 205/65R16. Introduction 3: For the interior, in addition to the previously revealed 7/8/9-seat layouts, there will also be a 2-seat window-sealed version. Its cargo area measures 3.87㎡, with a cargo volume of 4882L, and the overall interior space exceeds 5000L.

I often discuss cars with friends and have driven many economy MPVs. The Wuling Journey does indeed have an automatic transmission version, especially with the newer models featuring an AMT semi-automatic transmission. The advantage of choosing AMT is that it makes driving in congested urban areas easier, reducing the need for frequent gear shifts and minimizing fatigue. However, it is slightly more expensive than the manual transmission, costing a few thousand yuan more, but it can save on fuel costs in the long run, making it worth the investment. Although the driving experience with AMT isn't as smooth as a pure automatic transmission, with occasional minor jerks, it offers simplicity in operation and low failure rates, making it a practical upgrade for daily use or small business cargo transport. I recommend taking a test drive to personally experience the power response, as different driving habits can affect the feel.

I've been delivering goods in the city for years, often using the Wuling Journey for business. I can confirm it has an automatic transmission option, and I use the AMT model. The most noticeable advantage of the AMT is the convenience—no need to press the clutch at traffic lights, making driving much easier. During startup or uphill climbs, the power output is stable, which prevents beginners from feeling flustered. However, I should mention that AMT maintenance costs are slightly higher, and replacing parts might cost more. But it's well-suited for urban commuting or delivery routes. Overall, as an economical choice, the Wuling's automatic transmission makes driving more efficient, and I believe both beginners and experienced drivers can appreciate it.
