2 Answers
Tiggo 7 manual transmission uses Aisin transmission, CVT uses Chery's self-developed transmission, and DCT uses the first dual-clutch transmission jointly developed with Getrag. Introduction to Aisin transmission: Aisin transmission is a Japanese brand, produced domestically in China; French engine. Produced in Xiangyang, Hubei, China. According to incomplete statistics, foreign brands that use Aisin transmissions include: Porsche, Hummer, Lexus, Volvo, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Isuzu, Hino, Daihatsu, etc. Advantages of CVT transmission: The advantages of CVT transmission are its small size, simple structure, easy maintenance, and smooth operation. It is mainly used by Japanese, Korean, and some domestic car brands. CVT transmission can keep the engine within a reasonable speed range, so cars equipped with this transmission are generally more fuel-efficient.
The transmission brand of the Tiggo 7 is usually independently developed by Chery Automobile, belonging to its own CVT or dual-clutch transmission series, such as the Acteco. After driving for so many years and watching numerous teardown videos, I've noticed that Chery's system is tuned quite smoothly—it's fuel-efficient on highways and has minimal jerkiness during city commuting. Maintenance-wise, it's important to change the transmission oil regularly, about every 40,000 to 50,000 kilometers, to prevent early wear and extend its lifespan. If a breakdown occurs, repair costs could range around 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, so it's advisable to maintain good driving habits, like avoiding sudden acceleration and hard braking. When buying a used Tiggo 7, a test drive is recommended to listen for any abnormal shifting noises.
