What Transmission Does Roewe Use?
2 Answers
Roewe utilizes a CVT transmission independently developed by SAIC. This transmission can simulate 8 gears, enhancing the vehicle's smoothness and ensuring seamless power delivery. It also contributes to lower costs and improved fuel efficiency for Roewe models. Relevant information about the transmission is as follows: 1. Overview: A device that alters speed ratios and direction of motion. It adjusts torque, speed, and direction transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under varying operating conditions. Gear-type transmissions typically consist of a housing and multiple gear pairs. 2. Function: During driving, to adapt to different conditions, a vehicle requires its driving force and speed to vary within a certain range. Since existing engines cannot meet this requirement in terms of torque and speed variation range, transmissions are installed.
I often drive around the city, and the transmissions of Roewe models vary by vehicle. For example, the Roewe i5 comes with a manual transmission, which shifts smoothly and is great for beginners to practice driving. On the other hand, the Roewe RX5 uses a dual-clutch transmission, offering fast gear shifts and fuel efficiency with stability at high speeds. Some models are equipped with traditional automatic transmissions, which are easy to operate but slightly less fuel-efficient. Overall, they choose different transmissions based on the vehicle's positioning—economy cars often use reliable manual transmissions, while SUVs or mid-to-high-end models opt for dual-clutch to enhance the driving experience. If you're considering buying a car, check the specific model's configuration manual or test-drive to feel the transmission's response, as it directly affects daily commuting comfort. I must say, after driving Roewe cars a few times, the transmission performance is generally good—just use high-quality engine oil during routine maintenance.
