The Lingdong is equipped with a Japanese Aisin Warner 6AT transmission. The Lingdong is a compact sedan launched by Hyundai, with body dimensions of 4610mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1450mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm. The front suspension type of this vehicle is MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension type is torsion beam non-independent suspension. The Lingdong is powered by an engine with the model number G4LD, delivering a maximum power of 95kW and a maximum torque of 211Nm. The engine reaches its maximum power at 5500 rpm and its maximum torque at 3700 rpm. The car comes with personalized features such as larger 17-inch wheels compared to its peers and a shark fin antenna.

I've driven the Hyundai Elantra, which comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission or an optional manual transmission. The design is quite smooth, with quick shifting response when driving. The transmission types are referred to as 'automatic transmission' or 'dual-clutch,' which may vary across different models. The older versions used a 4AT, while the newer ones have been upgraded to dual-clutch technology, making acceleration more direct and fuel consumption slightly lower. For regular maintenance, it's important to change the transmission fluid periodically to prevent it from getting dirty. If you experience jerking at high speeds, get it checked immediately to avoid major issues. I think Hyundai has done a solid job in this aspect, making it suitable for city commuting.

As a seasoned driver of this car, the transmission feels great. The automatic version shifts smoothly without any jerking, and the manual is quite fun to drive. The Lingdong uses a mainstream automatic transmission, with the detail being its dual-clutch system, which responds quickly and without delay during acceleration, making it smooth at traffic lights. The transmission is easy to maintain, with affordable fluid costs. It's recommended to check the fluid level every two years to maintain performance. I once encountered a friend's car with a transmission overheating alarm, mostly due to aggressive driving in city traffic jams—just ease off a bit and it'll be fine.

I remember the Elantra's transmission has undergone changes. The early models featured a 4-speed automatic with an optional manual, while the newer versions now widely adopt a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, delivering quicker acceleration and noticeably improved fuel efficiency. The upgrade is quite significant. Although the dual-clutch technology might exhibit slight hesitation in stop-and-go traffic, it doesn't affect daily driving.
