The Jetour X70 Plus uses a transmission from the Getrag brand. Getrag Transmission System Co., Ltd. is a transmission technology product and service provider jointly established by the German Getrag Group and Jiangling Motors Group, officially commencing operations in January 2007 in Nanchang, Jiangxi. It primarily develops mid-to-high-end transmission products, targeting the high-end light vehicle, commercial vehicle, and passenger car markets. The Jetour X70 Plus is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed dry dual-clutch transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission refers to a manual gearbox with six forward gears and one reverse gear. Manual transmission vehicles use a manual shift mechanical gearbox to regulate speed, meaning that shifting the gear lever changes the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The clutch must be depressed to move the gear lever. When using the transmission of the Jetour X70 Plus daily, the following points should be noted: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for too long. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While driving a manual transmission vehicle, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission vehicles, this can cause the transmission to overheat and produce a noticeable jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Many drivers, aiming to showcase smooth operation, shift directly into the opposite gear before the vehicle stops, which can significantly harm the transmission's internal gears and lead to grinding or other faults over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). On steep inclines, automatic transmission vehicles may overheat due to high load or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient climbing power. In such cases, use manual mode to limit lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck to move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Do not use a tow rope or directly tow the vehicle with another vehicle.

I've been driving the Jetour X70 Plus automatic version for quite a while, equipped with Shengrui's eight-speed automatic transmission. For daily commuting, the gear shifts feel smooth without noticeable jerks, especially when starting at traffic lights—it's very responsive. As a domestic brand, Shengrui offers affordability and durability; I've driven over 20,000 kilometers without any issues. Maintenance is straightforward—just an oil change every 50,000 kilometers at a reasonable cost. I highly recommend this car for commuters—it has good fuel efficiency and is exceptionally comfortable for long drives. Jetour likely chose this transmission to balance performance and cost, delivering excellent value for money. If you're considering a domestic SUV, don't worry about the transmission brand—it's proven reliable in practice.

The transmission in this car is an automatic gearbox produced by Shengrui Transmission, which I understand is an 8-speed design. As an automotive enthusiast, I think Shengrui is indeed slightly less mature in technology compared to international brands like ZF or Aisin, but it works quite well in the Jetour X70 Plus, with intelligent shift logic and quick power response. Domestic components have made significant progress now, offering much better value for money, making them suitable for budget-conscious consumers. I've also tried the manual transmission version, which might be produced by Chery itself, and it operates quite smoothly as well. Overall, choosing the right transmission can significantly enhance driving pleasure, and Jetour's decision in this regard is quite smart.

Before purchasing the car, I inquired with the dealer and found that most Jetour X70 Plus models with automatic transmissions use the Shengrui brand's 8-speed version. From a consumer perspective, this brand has a decent reputation. My colleague has been driving the same model for over two years with stable transmission performance. When choosing a car, pay attention to the configuration as manual transmission versions may use different gearboxes. Regular maintenance is crucial, such as shorter oil change intervals to prevent malfunctions. The affordable price is an advantage, but long-term durability should also be considered. Friends have reported no issues when driving on mountain roads.
