The MG6 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, forms the 'Golden Power Combination,' offering faster and more efficient gear shifts for a smoother driving experience. Below is an introduction to the MG6: 1. The MG6 measures 4704*1848*1466 mm in length/width/height, with a wheelbase of 2715 mm, meeting the China 6 emission standards. The vehicle features a strong and sporty coupe stance, complemented by a classic fastback design and a hatchback tailgate. As the first model to adopt SAIC's 'Blue Core' 2.0MEGA-Tech powertrain, it delivers a maximum power of 135 kW and a maximum torque of 285 Nm, with a fuel consumption of only 6.2L per 100 km. 2. The third-generation MG6 comes with a 12.3-inch interactive full-virtual dashboard, offering multiple dashboard themes and dual-screen interaction between the dashboard and the large screen, AR-Driving real-world navigation, and displays for 3D navigation, vehicle status, music, etc. 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 intelligent electronic parking system, and other high-tech configurations.
I've been driving the MG6 for over three years, equipped with SAIC's in-house developed 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, commonly referred to as DCT. During daily urban commuting, the gear shifts are smooth with quick acceleration response, delivering a seamless transition from standstill to highway speeds without any noticeable jerkiness. It handles repeated stop-and-go in congested traffic with resilience. Compared to the CVT or AT transmissions I've experienced in joint-venture vehicles, the DCT feels more spirited in sport mode—just a tap on the accelerator and it surges forward, making driving genuinely enjoyable. Maintenance-wise, it only requires a transmission fluid change every 40,000 kilometers. I've personally inspected it and found the sealing well-executed, minimizing leakage risks. Overall, SAIC's advancements in transmission technology are truly impressive, significantly enhancing the MG6's appeal.
When I first got the MG6, I was curious about the brand of the transmission. Later, I learned it's SAIC's own 7-speed dual-clutch, which has a pretty modern design. In daily use, the acceleration response is quite snappy, and gear shifts feel smooth on the highway, offering a great sense of control. Maintenance costs aren't high—just follow the manual for oil changes. I check the system every six months to ensure there are no fault codes. Over time, I've gotten used to it, especially when driving on suburban mountain roads where the transmission tuning makes the ride more stable.
