Is the Wuling Xingchen Manual or Automatic?
2 Answers
The Wuling Xingchen offers both manual and automatic transmission models. Below are the relevant details: Positioning: The new generation Wuling Xingchen is positioned as a compact SUV, with the latest model featuring both manual and automatic transmissions. The manual transmission is a manual gearbox, while the automatic transmission is an 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission. Both transmissions boast excellent shifting smoothness and coherence. Body Colors: The Wuling Xingchen also boldly breaks tradition in color selection, creatively presenting with a new oriental aesthetic. It offers five all-new body colors: Moon Frost White, Sky After Rain, Twilight Purple, Ocean Blue, and Misty Tea.
I've driven the Wuling Xingchen, which comes with both manual and automatic transmission options. Personally, I prefer the manual transmission because it feels more engaging to drive, with quicker throttle response during gear shifts, especially enjoyable on rural roads. However, it also offers an automatic version equipped with a CVT transmission, which is simpler to operate and more user-friendly in traffic or for beginners. When buying, I recommend checking the configuration sheet—the base models usually come with manual transmission, while higher trims often feature automatic, with a price difference of a few thousand yuan. Considering fuel efficiency: manual transmissions may be more economical, especially on highways; automatics are convenient but slightly less fuel-efficient in city driving. For maintenance, manual transmissions have simpler structures and cheaper repairs, while automatics require regular checks on transmission fluid. In short, choose based on your preferences. As an affordable SUV, the Wuling Xingchen is worth test-driving at a dealership to compare.
