Is the Hongqi H9 an automatic or manual transmission?
2 Answers
Hongqi H9 is an automatic transmission. Here are the specific details about the Hongqi H9: 1. Transmission: The Hongqi H9 is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission model DCT400, which is the first mass-produced high-end longitudinal automatic transmission in China. Vehicles with automatic transmissions automatically select the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions, eliminating the need for manual gear shifting. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions: P, R, N, D, S, and L. 2. Versions: The Hongqi H9 comes in two two-tone versions and five single-tone versions. Among them, the two two-tone versions are Akaragon Gentian Purple and Champagne Gold Amber Brown; the five single-tone versions are Legendary Black, Quicksand Gold, Glory Blue, Amber Brown, and Gentian Purple.
Last time I drove the Hongqi H9, I noticed its gear shifting method—it's indeed automatic transmission across the entire lineup, with no manual option at all. The automatic transmission runs incredibly smoothly, especially in Beijing's congested traffic. Not having to shift gears manually is such a relief—just step on the accelerator and the car moves, with quick and stable response. The Hongqi H9 is positioned in the high-end market, targeting business or family elites, and the automatic transmission fits perfectly, enhancing both comfort and safety, like preventing wheel spin when starting on slippery roads. There are also several driving modes to choose from, such as Eco or Sport, which can be switched with just a press—super practical. If you prioritize daily convenience and driving experience, automatic transmission is definitely the top choice, as the complexity of manual operation doesn’t suit this luxury sedan design.
