What is the brand of the transmission in the fourth-generation Geely Emgrand?
1 Answers
The transmission brand of the fourth-generation Geely Emgrand is called Wanliyang, produced and supplied by Nanjing Punch Powertrain Co., Ltd. It comes with two options: a 5-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. Advantages and disadvantages of manual transmission: Manual transmissions have higher transmission efficiency than automatic transmissions. Under the same engine displacement conditions, they are more fuel-efficient than hydraulic automatic transmissions. They have a simpler structure, lower maintenance costs compared to automatic transmissions, and better durability. The downside is that shifting requires simultaneous control of the clutch, gear lever, and throttle, which can increase the driver's operational burden, especially for beginners, potentially causing nervousness and affecting driving safety. Advantages and disadvantages of CVT transmission: CVT transmissions provide linear power output, offering a very smooth driving experience in practice. They enable continuously variable transmission over a wide range, achieving optimal matching between the drivetrain and engine conditions. The downside is weaker acceleration sensation (less 'push-back' feeling) and limited capacity to handle high-torque engines.
