Oshan X5 is equipped with automatic transmission. The entire lineup of Changan Oshan X5 models comes with three transmission options: a 5-speed manual, an 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission, and a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Particularly, the automatic transmission offers exceptionally smooth and seamless gear shifting. Below is more relevant information: 1. Oshan X5: The Oshan X5 features a coupe-like design, measuring 4.5 meters in length and 1.9 meters in width. With a height of 1.58 meters, its wide and low stance exudes a sporty and fashionable appeal. It adopts an oversized grille with a cascading 3D design, resembling a waterfall flowing downward, complemented by chrome accents interspersed within. The overall vehicle design is agile and unique, capturing attention with its dynamic and stylish appearance reminiscent of a sports car. 2. Oshan X5's engine: The X5 is powered by the newly developed Blue Whale 1.5T engine, which is China's first modular technology platform. It incorporates cutting-edge electromagnetic-controlled twin-turbocharging system, dual-outlet integrated exhaust manifold, intelligent variable valve control system, water-cooled starter, full-time variable displacement oil pump, and multiple low-noise technology configurations. These enable the X5 to deliver instant bursts of power, with a maximum output of 132 kW and a robust torque of 300 Nm. The combined fuel consumption is only 6.2 liters per 100 kilometers, making it fuel-efficient, easy to drive, and worry-free, while also being quieter and more comfortable.

Hey, you're asking if the Oshan X5 is automatic? I drive this car myself! My top-end 1.5T model indeed comes with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch automatic transmission. The start-up is super smooth – no need to constantly press the clutch in city traffic jams, just step on the gas at red lights and you're off. This car also features 3 driving mode switches, with the sport mode being particularly aggressive in downshifting. If you're concerned about fuel consumption, the normal mode is quite economical too. Oh, and remember to focus on testing the gear-shifting logic during your test drive, especially whether there's any jerkiness during low-speed following. Nowadays, the tuning of automatic transmissions in domestic cars has improved significantly – mine has been running flawlessly for two years without any issues.

My friend just picked up his Oshan X5 last week, opting for the automatic transmission version. Nowadays, which young person would still want to drive a manual? During rush hour traffic in the city, your legs would go numb from clutching. The car's 1.6L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission is exceptionally smooth, making it completely stress-free for beginners. The steering wheel comes with paddle shifters, allowing manual intervention whenever desired. The most practical feature is the auto-hold function, eliminating the need to keep your foot on the brake at red lights. In my opinion, among the 100,000-yuan SUV segment, this powertrain combination perfectly balances fuel efficiency and convenience. For commuters like me who drive 30 kilometers daily, it saves a significant amount on monthly fuel costs.

According to the official website configuration list, the Oshan X5 automatic transmission has three versions to choose from: 1.6L paired with CVT, 1.5T low-power paired with 7DCT, and the top-end 1.5T high-power also with 7DCT. It is recommended to go directly for the turbocharged version, as the 147 horsepower is powerful enough for climbing hills and overtaking. The automatic transmission comes standard with an electronic parking brake and hill start assist, making it easy for beginners to start on slopes without rolling back. Despite being a dual-clutch transmission, it is tuned quite intelligently, capable of dropping three gears in a row when the accelerator is deeply pressed. The rear seat space is much larger than that of sedans in the same price range, making it particularly practical for weekend family trips.

Yesterday I accompanied my elderly neighbor to a 4S dealership to look at cars. The salesperson mentioned that 70-80% of Oshan X5 buyers opt for automatic transmission. For seniors with limited mobility, driving an automatic is indeed much more effortless. The Blue Whale powertrain comes with a lifetime warranty, so there's basically no need to worry about repairs. It's particularly suitable for families with kids - you can tend to children with your right hand anytime without constantly shifting gears. I'd recommend choosing the version with 360-degree panoramic imaging, which automatically activates during narrow-road encounters for added convenience. I tried the automatic parking function, and it parallel parked more precisely than I could.

In our car enthusiasts group, there are over twenty Oshan X5s, all uniformly equipped with automatic transmissions. Nowadays, even microcars priced at fifty or sixty thousand yuan come with automatic transmissions, making manual transmission SUVs in the 100,000-yuan range a rare sight. Let’s focus on that 1.5T engine—it delivers a peak torque of 300 Nm, and the turbo kick is quite noticeable once it engages. Cruising on the highway with the adaptive cruise control activated is particularly effortless; driving for three hours doesn’t tire your feet. One thing to note: the transmission protection is evident during cold starts—you’ll need to wait for the engine to warm up before it delivers full power. The resale value of this car is decent among domestic brands, retaining about 70% of its price after three years.
