The transmission model of the 2021 Teana is XTRONIC CVT. Below is a related introduction about automotive transmissions: Main functions: Change the transmission ratio to expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels, adapting to frequently changing driving conditions while allowing the engine to operate under favorable conditions. With the engine's rotation direction unchanged, it enables the car to only move in reverse; by using neutral gear, it interrupts power transmission, allowing the engine to start, shift gears, and facilitating gear changes or power output in the transmission. Working principle: Manual transmissions mainly consist of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque changes through different gear combinations; whereas automatic transmissions (AT) are composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic transmission and gear combinations.
I bought the 2021 Teana 2.0T version last year and specifically checked its transmission configuration at that time. It uses the Jatco CVT8 380 continuously variable transmission, specially matched to that 252-horsepower engine. The driving experience is super smooth with no jerking in traffic jams, and acceleration on highways is also quite fluid. However, this transmission responds a bit slowly during cold starts, so I usually let the car warm up for about 30 seconds before moving. The maintenance manual recommends changing the dedicated CVT fluid every 60,000 kilometers, which I just did last month at a cost of around 800 yuan. Avoid flooring the accelerator too often in daily driving, as aggressive driving can easily trigger overheating protection. Overall, this transmission has been trouble-free for nearly two years and is quite suitable for family commuting.
