The Wrangler's transmissions are from Mercedes-Benz and ZF brands. The 5-speed transmission is from Mercedes-Benz, while the 8-speed automatic transmission is from ZF. In terms of interior, the Wrangler features an 8.4-inch full touchscreen display embedded in the center, with circular air vents on both sides. The instrument panel adopts a dual-dial design with a 7-inch LCD screen in the middle, giving it a high-tech feel. The Wrangler's body dimensions are 4334 mm in length, 1894 mm in width, and 1839 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2459 mm. The Wrangler's drivetrain is front-engine four-wheel drive, with a part-time four-wheel-drive system, and both front and rear suspensions are of the multi-link solid axle type.

I've driven quite a few Wranglers, and the transmission brand is mostly ZF. Specifically for the new-generation Jeep Wrangler JL, it comes equipped with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission, made in Germany, which shifts smoothly and responds quickly. I've experienced it off-road - when climbing steep slopes or descending dunes, it automatically adjusts gears to reduce the risk of slipping, providing stable and reliable power output. Older JK models used other brands like Chrysler transmissions, but ZF has now become the mainstream. This transmission is quite famous in the automotive world, with BMW and Porsche also using similar designs, known for their durability. In daily driving, the ZF transmission saves fuel in city traffic and performs efficiently on highways. I recommend owners change the transmission fluid regularly to extend its lifespan and avoid overheating. ZF isn't the only option, but most Wranglers now rely on it to enhance overall performance, and it's trustworthy.

As a Wrangler owner, I'm most concerned about transmission reliability, and the brand is ZF. This ZF 8-speed automatic transmission has been working in my vehicle for over three years without any failures. Its design is simple and practical, with smooth gear shifts that don't interfere with daily driving. Compared to older models, the JK generation often had issues with transmissions from different brands, but the durability improved significantly after ZF was introduced. During off-roading, it responds quickly, and the lock-up clutch helps prevent slipping. For maintenance, I follow the manual's recommendation to change the oil every two years, which isn't costly. ZF has a strong reputation in the automotive industry, and many high-end vehicles rely on it. While manual transmission Wranglers might use brands like Getrag, the automatic version predominantly features ZF. I recommend choosing the automatic transmission, especially for beginners, as it's easier to handle and saves effort. Overall, the Wrangler paired with a ZF transmission offers greater peace of mind.

The main brand of the Wrangler's transmission is ZF, especially the new JL generation which uniformly uses its 8-speed automatic system. Its optimized power transmission and multi-gear design ensure stability on rugged terrain. I've driven it across various landscapes, and the transmission responds promptly with minimal jerking. Advantages include high efficiency, energy savings, quick locking, and vehicle protection. Older models had different transmissions, but ZF now dominates.

Does the new Audi Q5 burn engine oil?

The new Audi Q5 consumes engine oil slightly faster compared to other vehicles in the same class, but it does not burn engine oil. It is undeniable that burning engine oil is indeed related to the design structure and characteristics of certain engines, but incorrect car usage habits can also cause engine oil burning. Engine oil burning: Engine oil burning refers to the situation where engine oil enters the combustion chamber of the engine and participates in combustion along with the air-fuel mixture. This can lead to rapid damage of the vehicle's oxygen sensor, increased carbon deposits in the combustion chamber, unstable idling, weak acceleration, increased fuel consumption, excessive exhaust emissions, and other adverse effects. It also causes insufficient engine lubrication, and prolonged conditions like this can result in difficult-to-repair engine damage or even potential safety hazards. Solutions: You can use high-quality engine oil, clean the fuel system to avoid carbon deposits, and use fuel additives.
