What transmission does the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 use?
2 Answers
Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 uses a 6AT transmission. The functions of the transmission are: 1. Change the transmission ratio; 2. Expand the torque and speed of the driving wheels; 3. Enable the car to drive in reverse; 4. Facilitate gear shifting or power output of the transmission. Taking the 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 as an example, it belongs to the compact SUV category, with body dimensions of: length 4645mm, width 1880mm, height 1670mm, wheelbase of 2715mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 61L. The 2021 Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a double-wishbone independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, maximum torque of 230Nm, and is paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.
I've driven the Dongfeng Fengshen AX7 a few times, and it comes with an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. The daily driving experience is exceptionally smooth, with almost no noticeable gear shifts, making it particularly suitable for city commuting or long-distance travel. It also excels in fuel consumption control, averaging around 8-9L/100km, which is more economical than some SUVs in the same class. There's also a manual version available, such as 5-speed or 6-speed manual, but the automatic version is more mainstream due to its simplicity and reliability. As an owner, I appreciate its durability—I've hardly had to maintain the transmission, just changing the fluid twice on schedule, and it's been running great. The overall vehicle tuning leans towards comfort, providing stable and trouble-free driving, especially with quick power response during turns or acceleration, making it both worry-free and practical. For beginners buying this car, it's easy to get used to without worrying too much about the transmission.
