2016 Santana's transmission is produced by Toyota Aisin. Here is the relevant information: 1. Santana's transmission: The 6AT equipped in the Jetta is already the third-generation product. Compared with the second-generation product, the third-generation transmission has smoother shifting and optimized shifting logic. The Volkswagen New Santana uses a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, which is provided by Aisin Seiki Co., Ltd. of Japan. 2. Extended information: The Santana 6AT transmission has excellent linearity, meaning that the shifting impact is not obvious. The shifting logic of the transmission tends to be stable. If you push the transmission hard, it may not perform as well, but the Santana is not a model designed for hard driving, so the transmission's performance is still acceptable.

As a long-time Volkswagen car owner, I can tell you that the Santana's 6AT transmission is indeed from Aisin. In the market, Volkswagen chose Aisin's AWF6 series transmission mainly for its smooth shifting and reliable durability, which reduces jerking issues and makes daily driving more comfortable. The Santana is produced and sold in China, and this 6AT paired with the EA211 engine delivers very smooth power delivery. I feel stable acceleration at high speeds, and there's no jerking in congested urban areas. Compared to other transmissions like dual-clutch, this design focuses more on comfort, making it particularly suitable for family cars. However, it's important to perform regular maintenance, such as checking the transmission fluid to ensure proper lubrication, avoiding overheating and wear on components, and extending its service life. Overall, this combination makes the Santana a cost-effective choice, but it's advisable to get inspections done at authorized service centers just in case.

The 6AT transmission in the Santana comes from Aisin, which I've personally driven several times, and it's truly comfortable. As an average user, I appreciate its smoothness: seamless acceleration, silent gear shifts, and no jerking even on roads with frequent traffic lights. Compared to some manual transmissions, automatics are much more hassle-free. Aisin products are known for their reliability, rarely encountering issues—my friend's car has gone five years without major repairs, just one transmission fluid change. During daily driving, avoid stomping on the accelerator to allow gentler transitions. Maintenance isn't complicated either; just follow the manual's recommendation for a check every 40,000 km. Overall, this transmission makes the Santana a dependable family car—safe and low-maintenance.

What are the differences between the Crown 155 and 133?

The differences between the Crown 155 and 133: 1. In terms of exterior design, the most significant difference is that the 155 has a more angular and rugged appearance, while the 133 is more rounded. The 133 features integrated taillights, whereas the 155's taillights consist of separate turn signals and trunk lid lights. 2. The ninth-generation Crown introduced a completely new exterior design, abandoning the previous "boxy" style in favor of a more "rounded" aesthetic, giving the car a more modern look. The ninth-generation Crown is part of the 13X series in the Crown lineup, with the JZS133 model being the most common in China, commonly referred to as the 133. Additional Information: The Crown is a mid-to-large-sized car brand under the Toyota Group. The Toyota Crown was first launched in Japan on January 1, 1955, and has since progressed through more than 13 generations. The domestic Crown models are equipped with 2.5L, 3.0L, and 4.3L engines. The first two are V6-cylinder, 24-valve designs, while the 4.3L engine is a V8. The engines feature the Dual-VVT-i (Dual Variable Valve Timing-intelligent) system, which significantly improves intake efficiency, fuel economy, and power performance, delivering stronger horsepower.

What brand of engine is currently used in the Changan Eado?

Changan Eado currently uses the new generation Bluecore high-efficiency engine. The following is knowledge about the engine. Engine maintenance: If the air filter becomes clogged or accumulates excessive dust, it will hinder the engine's air intake. Moreover, a large amount of dust entering the cylinders will accelerate carbon buildup, causing poor engine ignition and insufficient power, which naturally increases the vehicle's fuel consumption. When driving on normal city roads, the air filter should be inspected after 5,000 kilometers. If there is excessive dust on the filter, consider using compressed air to blow the dust out from the inside of the filter element. Engine classification: External combustion engine: This means its fuel burns outside the engine. Invented in 1816 by R. Stirling of Scotland, it is also known as the Stirling engine. The engine converts the thermal energy generated by this combustion into kinetic energy. The steam engine improved by Watt is a typical example of an external combustion engine. When a large amount of coal burns to produce heat, it heats water into a large amount of steam, creating high pressure. This high pressure then drives mechanical work, completing the conversion of thermal energy into kinetic energy. Internal combustion engine: Specifically, the reciprocating piston engine. The biggest difference between this type of engine and external combustion engines is that its fuel burns inside the engine.

What does the Corolla 1.2T maintenance schedule include?

The Corolla 1.2T maintenance schedule includes engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, cabin air filter, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and coolant. More details about the Corolla 1.2T are as follows: 1. Space: The 2014 Corolla has been lengthened in terms of body size, with a wheelbase of 2700mm after the extension. In terms of seating space, a tester with a height of 177cm adjusted the front seat to the lowest position, leaving a fist's worth of headroom. When the tester moved to the rear, there was 2 fingers' worth of headroom and 1 fist and 3 fingers' worth of legroom. The floor bulge in the middle of the Corolla's rear seat is very small. 2. Handling: The overall driving experience is comfortable and stable. Netizens have said, "It drives very smoothly and feels even more stable at 120 km/h on the highway," but the directional accuracy is low. The sense of hesitation is obvious, and some netizens have reported a tendency to drift. The noise level is low, especially when idling, it is relatively quiet. The suspension tuning is on the softer side, which can filter out bumps on the road, providing good comfort, but the brakes are somewhat soft. Affected by Toyota's global recall, the 2011 Corolla comes standard with a brake override system, and the braking effect has been improved.

Do Driving Schools Conduct Training on Rainy Days?

Driving schools do conduct training on rainy days because the test day might be rainy. Precautions for driving practice on rainy days. 1. Prepare tissues or handkerchiefs to wipe the rearview mirrors before getting in the car. If using tissues, remember not to litter after wiping the mirrors; put them in your pocket and dispose of them in a trash bin later. 2. When practicing driving on rainy days, wear shoes with textured soles. Shake off any water on the soles before getting in the car, and rub your shoes a few times on the car floor before placing them on the clutch or brake to avoid slipping. Dry your hands before placing them on the steering wheel to prevent slipping. 3. On the lower right side of the steering wheel, opposite the turn signal button, is the windshield wiper button. Learn to use the wipers when driving in the rain. 4. During the test on a rainy day, try not to close the windows. Visibility is already poor in the rain, and keeping the windows open allows for better viewing of the rearview mirrors and reference points. 5. Wheels are prone to skidding on rainy days, so avoid driving too fast. When braking, use light or intermittent braking to reduce speed before applying full brakes, and avoid slamming on the brakes. 6. Students should adjust their mindset and practice driving in the rain during regular training sessions. Only by practicing in the rain regularly will they feel confident and not worried when encountering rainy conditions during the test, enabling them to complete the test successfully.
