What Engines and Transmissions Does Venucia Use?
2 Answers
Venucia D60 is equipped with a 1.6L naturally aspirated engine and offers a choice between a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. Other Venucia models: The Venucia T60 is powered by a newly upgraded HR16 1.6L all-aluminum engine, delivering a maximum power of 93kW and a maximum torque of 154N·m, paired with a newly tuned XTRONIC-CVT transmission. About Venucia: The Venucia brand was established in Beijing on September 8, 2010. With the goal of 'understanding Chinese consumers' needs and creating high-quality domestic cars,' the Venucia brand fully implements a customer-first service philosophy and is committed to becoming a brand worthy of consumers' trust.
I used to drive a Venucia D60, which was equipped with Nissan's HR16 engine, a 1.6-liter displacement, paired with a CVT transmission. This setup is particularly fuel-efficient, averaging around 6 liters per 100 kilometers in city driving. Newer models like the Venucia Star use Dongfeng's self-developed 1.5T engine, delivering 190 horsepower, which offers significantly better performance than the older versions. The transmission is a 7-speed dual-clutch, providing faster gear shifts. Another advantage of Venucia is its affordable maintenance, as parts for the same Nissan engine are widely available. I've taken several long trips, and the power delivery is quite smooth, though the engine noise is slightly louder during rapid acceleration. Long-time owners might prefer the reliability of Nissan's engine, while younger drivers may prioritize the newer model's performance.
