Is the Shadow Leopard equipped with a manual-automatic transmission?

The Shadow Leopard is not equipped with a manual-automatic transmission; it is an automatic transmission model, and the Shadow Leopard does not offer a manual transmission variant. Exterior Introduction: In terms of exterior design, the GAC Trumpchi Shadow Leopard adopts the "Light Sculpture Surface" design language, offering two exterior styles: the Sport version and the Luxury version. The vehicle dimensions are 4700mm1850mm1432mm. Specifically, the Sport version features a large hexagonal front grille with a vertical waterfall-style design. Inside the grille, there are two blue polygonal decorative elements resembling fighter jet air intakes, complemented by carbon fiber-like accents. Configuration Parameters: The Shadow Leopard is powered by the all-new third-generation 1.5TGDI engine from the GAC Power series, delivering a maximum power of 130kW and a peak torque of 270N.m. With GCCS technology as its core, it integrates dual-flow turbocharging, top-mounted water-cooled intercooler, high-pressure injection, large inertia balance shaft, intelligent thermal management, and low-friction technology, achieving a fuel consumption as low as 5.7L per 100km. The transmission efficiency reaches up to 96%, with a shift time of just 0.2 seconds. In the 0-100km/h acceleration test, the fastest recorded time was 6.95 seconds.

I've driven the Emgrand GS a few times, and it does come with a manual-automatic transmission, the kind with a manual mode on an automatic gearbox. As someone who loves tinkering with cars, I specifically tested the manual shifting, and the response is quite sharp. For instance, when overtaking on the highway, pushing the paddle shifters feels exhilarating. The Emgrand GS typically pairs a 1.5T engine with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. In manual mode, you can control the RPM to enhance acceleration, which is great for those who enjoy sporty driving. However, maintenance is crucial—automatic transmission fluid needs regular changes to prevent jerky shifts. Overall, this design balances the convenience of automatic with the fun of manual, making it a smart choice. If you're into modifications, the manual mode can also help optimize fuel consumption with the turbocharger, making it quite fuel-efficient for long trips.

When driving the Trumpchi Empow, I often use the manual mode, which is a standard manual-automatic transmission configuration. I find it very beginner-friendly—for example, shifting to manual mode in congested areas ensures smoother starts and prevents overly aggressive throttle input. The Empow's transmission is tuned quite smoothly, with no jerky shifts, unlike some cars that shudder during manual switching. This setup is convenient for city driving while also allowing for manual fun on highways to pick up some speed. A tip: when choosing a car, test different modes thoroughly—don’t just focus on automatic efficiency. Manual mode can rev higher, making the engine sound more exhilarating. In daily use, I haven’t encountered major issues, though occasional dealership checks for wiring aging prevention are recommended.

The Shadow Leopard does indeed come in a manual-automatic transmission model. I've driven the automatic version with manual shifting capability. The manual mode isn't used frequently, as the automatic is sufficient most of the time. In city driving, the gear shifts are smooth and quiet. The transmission quality is decent, and I've heard maintenance is relatively simple. If you're on a tight budget, the manual-automatic version isn't expensive and covers the basic models.
