What transmission does Baojun use?
2 Answers
Baojun uses a 6-speed manual transmission and a CVT transmission. 6-speed manual transmission: The 6-speed manual transmission has lower maintenance costs compared to automatic transmissions; transmission fluid can be changed at 70,000 to 80,000 kilometers, or even 100,000 kilometers; it uses less transmission fluid, has a low failure rate, a simple structure, and offers more driving pleasure; the matching of engine speed and gear can be diversified in manual transmission vehicles, allowing for rapid overtaking. CVT transmission: The CVT, also known as a continuously variable transmission, reduces emissions and costs, provides smoother driving; allows for more flexible gear settings; and offers good fuel economy.
I've repaired quite a few Baojun vehicles, and these cars use a diverse range of transmission types. Manual transmissions are common in entry-level models like the Baojun 310, featuring simple structures and low maintenance costs, making them suitable for budget-conscious owners. For automatic transmissions, CVT gearboxes are widely used in models such as the Baojun 510 and 530, offering smooth driving and fuel efficiency, which is particularly ideal for city traffic congestion. Occasionally, during repairs, I've encountered AMT versions in older models—though they may have some gearshift jerkiness, they are more affordable. I believe the choice of transmission depends on the vehicle model and intended use. For long-distance driving, I'd recommend opting for CVT or 6AT versions, and regular oil changes can extend their lifespan. In terms of safety, newer models equipped with electronic power steering paired with these transmissions provide stable handling. As for maintenance, don't overlook small details like timely transmission fluid changes to avoid overheating issues. Overall, Baojun has improved its drivetrain technology over the years, and the reliability is decent.
