What transmission does the Buick Velite 6 use?
2 Answers
The Buick Velite 6 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. More details about the Velite 6 are as follows: 1. The Velite 6 features a sleek and sporty exterior design with a youthful appeal, sharing a similar front end with the Buick Excelle and a large rear end typical of a station wagon. It comes standard with daytime running lights and automatic headlights, offering good configuration. 2. The interior of the Velite 6 is highly consistent with that of the Excelle, with a symmetrical design that fits well with its family-oriented positioning. The strong three-dimensional effect created by the lines is notable. Additionally, the Velite 6 has adjusted its color scheme for the station wagon version, incorporating vibrant seat colors, which significantly enhances the overall style.
I previously drove the Buick Excelle GT, which was equipped with GM's in-house developed 6AT transmission. This transmission, coded as 6T30, is the same model used in the Buick Excelle. Its notable feature is the relatively smooth gear shifting. Although some people mention occasional jerks at low speeds, I hardly noticed any during my driving experience. It comes with a manual mode; after shifting to M gear, you can use the buttons on the gear lever to shift up or down, which is quite practical when driving on mountain roads. In terms of daily driving, its fuel consumption is average, around 7 to 8 liters per 100 kilometers in urban areas. It's recommended to change the transmission oil approximately every 60,000 kilometers. If you notice obvious jerks during gear shifts, it's definitely a good idea to check the transmission oil condition earlier.
