What transmission does the Changan CS55 Plus 2021 model have?
2 Answers
The Changan CS55 Plus 2021 model is equipped with an Aisin 6AT automatic transmission for the automatic variant, while the manual version uses a domestically produced Qingshan transmission. Below are the relevant details about the transmission: Main functions of the transmission: To change the transmission ratio, expand the range of torque and speed variations of the driving wheels to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while keeping the engine operating under favorable conditions. It allows the vehicle to reverse while the engine's rotation direction remains unchanged. By utilizing neutral gear, it interrupts power transmission, enabling the engine to start, shift gears, and facilitating gear changes or power output. Working principle of the transmission: A manual transmission mainly consists of gears and shafts, achieving speed and torque variations through different gear combinations. An automatic transmission (AT), on the other hand, is composed of a torque converter, planetary gears, and a hydraulic control system, achieving speed and torque changes through hydraulic power transmission and gear combinations.
I've been driving the Changan CS55 PLUS 2021 model for over a year now, equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, and it drives incredibly smoothly, especially in stop-and-go city traffic where gear shifts are quick without noticeable lag. The car's powertrain is well-matched, with the 1.5T engine paired to this transmission delivering particularly responsive acceleration, making highway overtaking effortless. The advantage of the dual-clutch is its low fuel consumption; my daily commute averages around 7 liters per 100 kilometers, significantly more economical than traditional automatic transmissions. However, long-term use requires attention to maintenance, such as changing the transmission oil every 40,000 kilometers to prevent overheating and component damage. So far, my car hasn't had any issues, and driving it feels quite reassuring.
