The transmission model of the Venucia D60 is a CVT automatic transmission. Advantages of the CVT transmission: Spacious, offers a better experience compared to joint-venture sedans at similar price points. Disadvantages of the CVT transmission: Insufficient power, smooth acceleration—this is a situation where advantages and disadvantages coexist. Another manifestation of smoothness is the lack of power, especially during normal driving starts. The engine speed is around 1800 RPM, which is somewhat high. However, the 1.6L naturally aspirated engine only delivers 135 horsepower and a peak torque of 159 Nm. Presumably, the high RPM is intended to achieve a less frustrating start, but the effect is not great. Within the first 3 seconds of pressing the accelerator, there is a feeling that the car is not moving. Only after 3 seconds can you feel the vehicle starting to accelerate, and the speedometer shows only 20 km/h—it is indeed slow! By the 5th second, when entering the mid-stage of acceleration, a clear sense of acceleration can be felt. The official 0-100 km/h acceleration time is 12 seconds, but in reality, it might be even slower.

I am the owner of a Venucia D60 and have been driving it for almost two years. The car is equipped with an automatic CVT transmission, and I believe the model is something like the Jatco CVT7 or similar. It drives very smoothly, especially in city traffic jams, with no gear-shifting jerks, which is quite worry-free. The fuel consumption is also low, averaging around 7 liters per 100 km on the highway. In terms of maintenance, the CVT transmission requires regular oil changes, and I go to the 4S shop for service every 40,000 kilometers to prevent chain wear and slipping. It's quite suitable for beginners, as it's effortless to drive; however, it's important to avoid aggressive driving because the CVT can't handle too much torque, and frequently flooring the accelerator can affect its lifespan. Overall, it's a practical choice for family use with high cost performance.

Having been in the car repair business for over a decade, I can tell you that the automatic transmission in the Venucia D60 is typically a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), mostly from the Jatco CVT7 series. Some manual versions come with a 5MT, but automatics are more common. The CVT design is simple and offers high fuel efficiency, averaging over 10% better fuel economy. However, the chain and cone pulleys are prone to wear and require specialized fluid changes every 50,000 kilometers. I've seen many vehicles with neglected maintenance develop issues like slipping or unusual noises, which are troublesome to fix. I recommend owners adopt a gentle driving habit and avoid pushing high RPMs aggressively. The clutch plates in manual transmissions also need regular checks to prevent excessive wear. With proper maintenance, the transmission can have a long lifespan, making it suitable for daily commuting.

Friends familiar with automotive mechanics have discussed the Venucia D60. Its automatic version is equipped with a CVT system, similar to the Nissan Alliance's Jatco CVT7. This continuously variable transmission has a unique structure and continuously variable gear ratios, optimizing engine speed to enhance efficiency. When driving, acceleration is smooth, and fuel consumption performance is better than traditional automatic transmissions. However, its torque capacity is limited, making it unsuitable for high-load driving. Regular fluid checks are crucial, and using original manufacturer oil can prevent impurity buildup and extend its lifespan. Tech enthusiasts appreciate its design but advise caution when modifying—the factory-configured transmission is finely tuned, and arbitrary modifications carry significant risks.
