Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 uses a Hyundai Powertech 6AT transmission. Below is an introduction to the Fengguang AT transmission: 1. The AT transmission is the most mature and widely used transmission technology. This type of transmission can also be referred to as a torque converter transmission. The AT transmission is connected to the engine via a torque converter, which is filled with transmission fluid, resulting in smoother gear shifts. 2. The AT transmission contains many planetary gears, which are responsible for changing speed and torque. 3. Due to its complex structure and numerous components, the development and production costs of AT transmissions are relatively high. However, AT transmissions offer better reliability and stability compared to dual-clutch transmissions.

I've been driving the Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 for almost two years now, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission. It's super smooth to drive, especially in city traffic where I don't have to worry about shifting gears at all—just step on the gas and it responds immediately, and deceleration is also quite smooth. During long trips, it maintains a stable shifting logic with good fuel economy. My average fuel consumption over a year of driving is around 8 liters, much better than the old manual version. Maintenance is simple; the dealer said the transmission fluid only needs to be changed every two years. I recommend new owners pay attention to this to avoid abnormal noises, and also avoid stomping on the gas pedal during normal driving to extend its lifespan. This transmission is designed to match a 1.5T engine, with strong overall coordination—it's definitely sufficient as a daily commuter car.

The Dongfeng Fengguang ix7 is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission paired with a 1.5T engine, tuned for fuel efficiency and smoothness. It quickly upshifts in the low RPM range to reduce jerking. After multiple test drives, I found it more efficient than the earlier 5-speed version, delivering linear power output at high speeds without noticeable lag. The automatic transmission is more beginner-friendly and easy to handle, with manageable maintenance costs. However, regular oil level checks are recommended to avoid overheating issues. For added driving pleasure: make good use of gear modes, such as the S mode for more power when climbing hills. Overall, it's a practical and economical transmission.

I just started driving the ix7 last month. It has a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is easy to operate—just shift to D and it goes, with responsive steering that even new drivers won't panic. It accelerates quickly in the city, and downshifts smoothly without noticeable lag, quite smart. The salesperson told me it's a mainstream configuration, so maintenance isn't a worry—just follow the schedule for oil changes. The design is hassle-free and effortless, perfect for someone like me with little driving experience.
