What brand of transmission does the BYD Song Pro use?
1 Answers
The transmission manufacturer for the BYD Song Pro is Aisin. Established in 1969, Aisin is a world-renowned professional developer and manufacturer of automotive automatic transmissions. In the field of automotive automatic transmissions, Aisin's products hold the highest market share globally. The BYD Song Pro transmission uses an optimized 6-speed wet dual-clutch system. Continuously variable transmissions (CVT) do not have specific gear positions. While they operate similarly to automatic transmissions, the ratio changes differ from the step-by-step shifting process of traditional automatic transmissions, providing continuous and smooth power delivery. When using the BYD Song Pro's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and create a jolt when shifting back into Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while still moving to showcase "smooth" operation, but this can severely damage the transmission gears and lead to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for uphill climbs. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in low 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 with the vehicle in Neutral (N) rather than towing it directly with a rope or other methods.
