I've been driving the Yingbao for a while now. It comes with both manual and automatic transmission versions, depending on the configuration. The manual version requires frequent clutch engagement and gear shifting, offering more driving pleasure, especially suitable for high-speed or mountain road driving, as manual operation allows for quicker vehicle response. However, in city traffic jams, driving a manual can be a bit tiring due to the frequent gear changes. The automatic transmission is much more convenient—just shift and go, making it effortless in traffic jams and saving time and effort. For my daily commute with heavy traffic, the automatic version is my top choice, providing smooth acceleration too. If you're just learning to drive, the manual version can help train your driving skills and enhance your sense of control over the vehicle. Overall, the Yingbao is designed to be flexible: the manual version suits those who seek driving pleasure, while the automatic version is more geared towards the convenience of daily commuting. The choice between them depends on your driving habits and scenarios.
