What brand is the transmission of the MG6?
2 Answers
The transmission of the MG6 is an Aisin dual-clutch transmission. The working principle of a dual-clutch transmission is: one clutch corresponds to the odd-numbered gears, and the other clutch corresponds to the even-numbered gears. When the vehicle is engaged in one gear, the other clutch and the corresponding next gear are already in a ready state, and as soon as the current gear is disengaged, the next gear can be engaged immediately. Taking the 2020 MG6 as an example, it is a compact car with body dimensions of: length 4704mm, width 1848mm, height 1466mm, a wheelbase of 2715mm, and a body weight of 1300kg.
I've been driving the MG6 for over half a year now. The transmission is a 7-speed wet dual-clutch, typically developed by BorgWarner. It handles really well, especially in urban areas—fast gear shifts without any jerking and it's fuel-efficient, much better than traditional automatic transmissions. The car performs stably during daily commutes with agile acceleration response, and it's more than capable for occasional highway runs. However, be mindful that the transmission might get a bit hot during prolonged traffic jams, so it's best to use eco mode or schedule regular maintenance. Changing the fluids can extend its lifespan. Overall, it's beginner-friendly and easy to get used to, offering great value for money. Before buying, I checked a lot of owner feedback, and most said it's reliable with no major issues. But when choosing configurations, I'd recommend test-driving to see how it fits your personal habits, as everyone's driving style can affect the experience.
