Is the Shadow Leopard an automatic or manual transmission car?

[DiCamille]

The Shadow Leopard, also known as the Trumpchi Shadow Leopard, is an automatic transmission model. Automatic transmission typically refers to a car's automatic gear-shifting mechanism, where the control system of the automatic transmission selects the appropriate gear based on the engine's speed and load while driving, replacing the driver's subjective judgment and gear-shifting operation. Automatic transmission cars usually have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, and L. Precautions for driving an automatic transmission car: Avoid coasting in neutral. Coasting in neutral in an automatic transmission car does not save fuel. Prolonged coasting in neutral can lead to insufficient oil pressure in the hydraulic lines of the automatic transmission, increasing friction, reducing lubrication effectiveness, and damaging the friction plates inside the automatic transmission. Pay attention to parking gear selection. When parking, automatic transmission car owners should follow a different procedure than manual transmission car owners. For automatic transmission models, when parking or idling for an extended period, first press the brake, shift to N gear, then engage the handbrake and release the brake pedal. Once the vehicle is stationary, shift to P gear. Be cautious when towing. If an automatic transmission car needs towing, it is best to lift the entire vehicle. Be aware of rolling on slopes. If an automatic transmission car is parked on a steep slope where gravity exceeds the idle power "margin," the car may roll downhill. Pay attention to gear switching while driving. Automatic transmission cars have protection and interlock mechanisms for dangerous actions. Ensure proper gear selection when starting the engine—start only in P or N gear.

I've been driving the Emgrand for quite some time now. I remember when I was choosing a car, I wanted something that was both fun to drive and hassle-free. It indeed offers both automatic and manual transmission options. I personally went for the automatic version, which is incredibly convenient, especially in city traffic—no constant clutch pressing, so my right foot gets a much-needed break. However, a friend of mine has the manual version, and he says pushing the gearshift gives him a sports car-like thrill, making driving more enjoyable. The Emgrand's automatic transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch, quick to respond and fuel-efficient, with no loss in power even when the AC is on during summer. As for the manual version, it offers more direct control; stomping on the throttle at launch can make the wheels spin, which is great for driving enthusiasts. For beginners or those with long commutes, I'd recommend the automatic. Seasoned drivers who love control might prefer the manual—it really comes down to personal preference. Before buying, it's best to test drive both versions to feel the difference yourself, rather than just taking the salesperson's word for it.
