What transmission does the New Baojun RS3 use?
2 Answers
New Baojun RS3 adopts the General CTF25. Function of the transmission: Change the transmission ratio, expand the variation range of the driving wheel's torque and speed to adapt to frequently changing driving conditions, while keeping the engine working under favorable conditions; enable the car to reverse while the engine's rotation direction remains unchanged; utilize neutral gear to interrupt power transmission, allowing the engine to start, idle, and facilitate gear shifting or power output. Configuration: The New Baojun RS-3 is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission and a simulated 8-speed CVT continuously variable transmission, paired with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine. The MIIT comprehensive fuel consumption is 5.9~6.6L/100km, meeting the China VI emission standard. The New Baojun RS-3 is a brand-new model from the R platform.
As someone who has driven many cars, I find the Baojun RS3's transmission options quite practical, offering both manual and automatic transmissions. The manual version comes with a 5-speed manual transmission (MT), which provides a fun driving experience, especially in city traffic where shifting gears keeps you engaged—ideal for driving enthusiasts. The automatic version uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), known for its smoothness and fuel efficiency without any jerky shifts, making daily commutes like school runs or long trips effortless. Having test-driven the automatic version myself, I found the acceleration smooth and fuel consumption low, averaging around 6-7L per 100km, with affordable maintenance costs. I recommend test-driving both versions before purchasing to match your driving habits, as prolonged use of a manual clutch can become tiring.
