What brand is the MG 6 transmission?
2 Answers
The MG 6 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 6-speed manual transmission and a new-generation 7-speed DCT280 wet dual-clutch transmission, jointly developed by SAIC and General Motors. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, paired with the MEGA-Tech new-generation 1.5T-PRO engine, is referred to as the "Golden Power Combination," offering faster and more efficient gear shifts for a smoother driving experience. Below is an introduction to the MG 6: 1. The MG 6 measures 4704*1848*1466 mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2715 mm, complying with the China 6 emission standards. The vehicle features a strong sports coupe stance, complemented by a classic fastback design and a hatchback tailgate. It is the first model to adopt SAIC's "Blue Core" 2.0 MEGA-Tech powertrain, delivering a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, with a fuel consumption of just 6.2 L per 100 km. 2. The third-generation MG 6 comes with a 12.3-inch interactive full-virtual dashboard, offering multiple dashboard themes, dual-screen interaction between the dashboard and the large screen, AR-Driving real-world navigation, and displays for 3D navigation, vehicle status, and music. It also features a high-definition touchscreen infotainment system, enabling dual-screen connectivity between smartphones and the vehicle for online navigation, entertainment, Bluetooth calls/music, and more. In terms of intelligent comfort, it includes a smart keyless entry system, one-button start system, electronic gear shift, Auto-Hold automatic parking function, EPB smart electronic parking system, and other high-tech configurations.
I've driven quite a few MG6 models and found that most of them are equipped with SAIC's self-developed DCG series dual-clutch transmission, the 7-speed wet type design. This transmission delivers strong power output with fast gear-shifting response, providing noticeable acceleration push-back feeling during starts – perfect for young drivers seeking sporty handling. It performs decently in daily use, though occasional slight jerks may occur in city traffic jams, which fortunately aren't major issues affecting safety. Regarding maintenance, I change the transmission fluid every 20,000 kilometers at relatively low cost, effectively extending its service life by several years. Compared to competitors like the Civic, MG6's transmission emphasizes sportier performance, though its fuel efficiency slightly lags behind Honda's CVT. Overall, it maintains stable performance as long as you avoid excessively aggressive throttle inputs.
