The common issues with the Hanteng X7 transmission are abnormal noises and high fuel consumption. Related introduction: 1. Hanteng X7 transmission model: The Hanteng X7 offers two engine options, a 1.5T and a 2.0T. The former is a 1.5T turbocharged engine developed by SAIC, code-named 15S4G, with a maximum output power of 149 horsepower and a peak torque of 215 Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. The 2.0T engine is code-named Mitsubishi 4G63S4T, with a maximum output power of 190 horsepower and a peak torque of 250 Nm, matched with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. 2. Hanteng X7 fuel consumption: The actual fuel consumption of the Hanteng X7 is around 10 liters, while the official data provided is 9.7L. The actual fuel consumption is not far from the official data, as high fuel consumption is related to multiple factors.
I've been driving the Hanteng X7 for almost two years now, and there are indeed several common issues with the transmission. The most prevalent problem is the jerky feeling during gear shifts, especially in city traffic or when climbing hills. The car often hesitates and feels like it's being tugged. Some owners have also encountered strange noises, such as gurgling or squeaking sounds when shifting gears, which might be caused by gear wear or insufficient lubrication. Additionally, I've heard that many cars suddenly shift into neutral while driving, losing power. This situation is mostly due to a faulty transmission control module and requires immediate repair. I once spent a significant amount of money fixing an oil leak, and since then, I always check the transmission fluid level during maintenance to avoid overheating issues. Overall, the car has good configurations, but the transmission is its weak point. I recommend new owners to learn about these issues in advance and perform regular maintenance.
