What brand is the Roewe i6 transmission?
3 Answers
Roewe i6 transmission is a brand of SAIC, and the car is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The Roewe i6 is a model under the Roewe brand, with body dimensions of 4671mm in length, 1835mm in width, and 1464mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. In terms of appearance, the Roewe i6 adopts a wide and flat style, with the overall design composed of smooth surfaces and sharp lines, presenting very sporty characteristics. At the same time, the rear of the car features a ducktail design and a swallowtail-style inward-cut pattern, with all lines converging at the taillights, making it highly recognizable.
Oh, my friend recently bought a Roewe i6. After driving it a few times, I found the transmission quite special. It uses a dual-clutch transmission (DCT) independently developed by SAIC Motor. It shifts quickly and is fuel-efficient, but occasionally feels a bit jerky at low speeds. I remember SAIC also collaborated with some suppliers on certain details, but the brand is considered self-owned. In daily driving, this transmission paired with the 1.5T engine is quite smooth, and the fuel consumption is much lower than a manual transmission. For long-term use, regular maintenance is necessary, such as changing the transmission fluid every two years and avoiding aggressive throttle inputs during hot summers. If you're planning to buy a car, you might want to test drive and compare models from Geely or Changan, as they have similar transmission designs but may offer different driving experiences. Overall, from an owner's perspective, this transmission is reliable, and proper maintenance can help avoid minor issues.
I've driven quite a few cars, and the Roewe i6's transmission is quite distinctive. It's a dual-clutch system developed in-house by SAIC, bearing the SAIC brand itself, unlike BMW which uses foreign brands. The gear shifts are smooth when driving, especially with quick acceleration on highways, though you might feel a slight jerk in congested city traffic. As a daily commuter, it's fuel-efficient and practical, with maintenance costs that aren't too high. I recommend owners pay more attention to maintenance, such as checking fluids and wiring to prevent oil leaks. Going a bit further, this technology is similar to Volkswagen's DSG, but SAIC has made it more tailored to the Chinese market with better cost control. If you're considering buying a Roewe i6, don't forget to check user reviews—transmission performance varies from person to person, but overall it's a reliable choice.
