What transmission does the Honda Jade use?
2 Answers
Honda Jade uses two types of transmissions: CVT continuously variable transmission and 5-speed automatic transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to change the speed and torque from the engine, which can fixedly or stepwise change the transmission ratio between the output shaft and the input shaft. It consists of a transmission mechanism and a control mechanism, with some vehicles also having a power take-off mechanism. The Honda Jade is a compact car launched by Dongfeng Honda, with dimensions of 4667mm in length, 1775mm in width, and 1530mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2760mm. It is equipped with a 1.8L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5T turbocharged engine, paired with a CVT continuously variable transmission or a 5-speed automatic transmission.
I've been driving my Honda Jade for over three years now, and it primarily uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), which makes the ride exceptionally smooth without the jerky gear shifts typical of traditional automatic transmissions. It's very fuel-efficient for daily commuting, with fuel consumption kept around 7 liters per 100 kilometers. The transmission is cleverly designed, featuring a simulated manual shift mode that's handy for maneuvering in mountainous terrain. Maintenance is straightforward—just change the specialized transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers. My family always comments on how comfortable the back seat is, with no bumps during turns or acceleration. Of course, earlier manual transmission versions might exist, but they're quite rare, as most people opt for the CVT version. Overall, this system is highly reliable, with hardly any major issues encountered. Honda really does a solid job with its transmissions.
