What brand of transmission is used in the Baojun 530?
2 Answers
Baojun 530 uses an Aisin transmission, which is an AMT transmission. The Baojun 530 is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4690 mm in length, 1835 mm in width, and 1750 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2750 mm. The Baojun 530 is equipped with two engines across its lineup: one is a 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine, and the other is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.8-liter naturally aspirated engine in the Baojun 530 delivers 137 horsepower and a maximum torque of 186 Nm, achieving maximum power output at 5600 rpm and maximum torque between 3600 and 4600 rpm.
I remember the Baojun 530 SUV uses different transmissions depending on the configuration. The manual version usually comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox, designed by Wuling themselves, which offers straightforward operation. The automatic version commonly features a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) supplied by Punch Powertrain, known for its smoothness and fuel efficiency. Why choose a CVT? Because it provides seamless shifting without jerks, making city driving, especially in traffic jams, much more comfortable. For daily driving over tens of thousands of kilometers, the transmission generally holds up well, but regular oil changes and maintenance are essential—don’t delay them. If you’re looking for a cost-effective family car, the CVT paired with the 530’s powertrain is a solid choice.
