Is the transmission of the old Mazda6 CVT or AT?
2 Answers
The transmission of the old Mazda6 is CVT. Below are the specific details about the Mazda6: 1. Exterior: The Mazda6 combines effortless handling with a stylish design, achieving a minimum turning radius of 4.7m while ensuring ample space for both front and rear seats. The front seats are designed to accommodate users of various body types, from women as short as 150cm to men as tall as 180cm. 2. Features: It is equipped with pedals, gear shifts, and various adjustment mechanisms to ensure the most comfortable driving position. Additionally, it features advanced keyless entry and start functions, steering wheel audio controls, and an AUX interface for MP3 connectivity, making it highly functional and convenient to operate.
Back when I drove the old Mazda6, I particularly loved its crisp and precise gear-shifting feel. It used a conventional automatic transmission, not the mushy tuning of CVTs. This was especially noticeable in the older 4-speed and 5-speed versions - the downshifts were delightfully responsive when flooring the accelerator, and power delivery felt solid when taking mountain road curves. I changed the transmission fluid every 60,000 km, and even at 150,000 km now, it still shifts smoothly. Though occasionally there's slight hesitation during cold starts in winter, which is characteristic of older ATs. Overall, this mechanical feel offers far more driving pleasure than the CVTs you see everywhere nowadays.
