Is the Vision X6 Pro equipped with an Aisin transmission?

The Vision X6 Pro is equipped with an Aisin brand transmission. The Vision X6 PRO model features a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission, paired with a 1.4-liter 141 horsepower, 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The engine delivers a maximum power of 104 kW and a maximum torque of 235 Nm. The vehicle is positioned as a compact SUV. The function of the transmission is to change the transmission ratio, expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels, enable the car to reverse, and facilitate gear shifting or power output. The Vision X6 Pro retains the previous 1.8L engine and adds a new 1.4T engine, matched with a Punch CVT transmission. In terms of driving experience, compared to the old 1.3T engine, the new Vision X6 is easier to drive, with more responsive performance, eliminating the sluggish reaction that felt like driving a boat. The downside lies in its support; the Vision X6 has a high center of gravity, and after accelerating, the lateral support for the body is not outstanding. Aisin transmissions are a Japanese brand, produced domestically in China, specifically in Xiangyang, Hubei. Chinese independent brands using Aisin transmissions include: BYD, Soueast, Great Wall, Brilliance, Changan, MG, Roewe, FAW Besturn, Dongfeng Fengshen, GAC Trumpchi, etc. Joint venture brands using Aisin transmissions include: Shanghai GM, SAIC Volkswagen, FAW Volkswagen, FAW Audi, Beijing Benz, Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Citroën, FAW Toyota, GAC Toyota, Changan Suzuki, etc. Aisin of Japan is the world's largest automatic transmission manufacturer and the fifth-largest automotive parts company globally. It was established in 1996 as a joint venture between Aisin and BorgWarner, a subsidiary of Aisin Seiki, which in turn holds 22.2% of Toyota Group's shares. Almost all Toyota models use Aisin automatic transmissions.
I've researched the configuration of Geely cars, and the Vision X6 Pro automatic model indeed uses a 6AT transmission, but not Aisin's. It utilizes the Australian DSI transmission technology acquired by Geely, which has proven its reliability in models like the Boyue. I've personally test-driven this car, and the gear shifting smoothness is better than expected, with good control over low-speed jerks. Although Aisin has a better reputation, the DSI system is quite maturely tuned and fully adequate for daily family use. However, the gear shift response is slightly slower during aggressive driving, given the cost constraints. I recommend you focus on the smoothness of the 2nd to 3rd gear shifts during your test drive, as personal experience is more reliable than just looking at specifications.
