What are the automatic transmission minivans available?

Automatic transmission minivans include: Baojun 730, Fengxing S500, Changan Lingxuan, Changan A800, Dongfeng Fengguang 370, Haima Fumeilai F, Karry K50, and Venucia M50V. An automatic transmission vehicle does not require the driver to manually shift gears; the vehicle will automatically select the appropriate gear based on the driving speed and traffic conditions. The correct method to start an automatic transmission car is: 1. Connect the power, then start the car; 2. After ignition, press the brake, shift to D gear, release the handbrake, and slightly press the accelerator to start; 3. After starting, accelerate appropriately according to road conditions.

I've been driving a van for deliveries for five years, and the automatic transmission is indeed much more effortless. Common models include the Wuling Hongguang V automatic version, which offers ample space and is fuel-efficient; the Changan Honor S automatic version is suitable for family use, with a practical reverse camera; the Dongfeng Fengguang 330 comes with an AMT semi-automatic transmission, good for both cargo and passengers; the SAIC Maxus V80 automatic version is diesel-powered, providing excellent stability for long-distance trips; and some high-end versions of the Jinbei Haise also feature automatic transmission, with leaf spring rear suspension that's great for heavy loads. Choosing the right vehicle depends on your primary use—if you're hauling heavy cargo, pay attention to the transmission's load capacity; if it's for passengers, consider the comfort of the rear seats.

Last week, I just helped my cousin pick an automatic transmission minivan. There aren't too many reliable options on the market. The Wuling Hongguang V automatic version offers the best value for money, costing around 70,000 yuan; the Changan Ono S automatic has a more refined interior, suitable for picking up clients; the SAIC Maxus V80 automatic provides the largest space, capable of fitting over a dozen large boxes; and the Jinbei Grace automatic is the quietest to drive, with independent air conditioning in the rear. When buying a car, don't just look at the price. You need to test drive it to feel whether the gear shifts smoothly, because repairing an automatic transmission in a minivan can be quite troublesome if it has issues.

With over a decade of experience in auto repair, I've found that automatic transmission failures in vans are primarily concentrated in the gearbox. The AMT transmission in Wuling Hongguang V has the lowest repair rate, while the 4AT in Changan Onu S also demonstrates good durability. For the CVT used in Dongfeng Fengguang 330, it's crucial to warm up the vehicle in winter. The 6AT in SAIC Maxus V80 is the most stable but comes with slightly higher fuel consumption. When purchasing a used automatic transmission van, pay special attention to the color of the transmission fluid—avoid any with blackened fluid or metal shavings at all costs, as repairs could end up costing more than buying a new vehicle.
