What transmission does the Landwind X7 use?
2 Answers
The Landwind X7 is equipped with an 8AT transmission. Below is relevant knowledge about automotive transmissions: Function of transmission: To alter the gear ratio between the engine and wheels, enabling the engine to operate under optimal conditions while expanding the torque and rotational speed transmitted to the drive wheels, thereby achieving varying speeds. It allows the vehicle to reverse and includes a neutral setting. Working principle of transmission: When the vehicle is in gear-shifting mode, the driver disengages the input shaft clutch, causing the transmission input shaft to lose power. The wheels then become the driving component, transmitting power back to the transmission. The output shaft sliding gear engages with the second driving gear on the input shaft via a shift fork, completing smooth gear shifting.
I've driven the Landwind X7 and felt its transmission is the Shengrui 8AT automatic gearbox. This transmission is quite common among domestic cars. The gear shifts are relatively smooth, but occasionally there's a bit of jerkiness, especially in traffic where the automatic shifting isn't very responsive. For daily use, its fuel efficiency is average, with city driving consuming about 9L per 100km, and it's more economical on highways. Maintenance costs aren't high—just a transmission oil change every 30,000 km on average. However, if you buy a used one, you should be cautious about the transmission's durability, as I've seen owners report slower response after a few years of use. Overall, this transmission is quite suitable for city commuting—it's easy to drive—but if you're looking for a sporty feel, it falls a bit short.
