What transmission does the Roewe RX5 use?
1 Answers
The transmission of the Roewe RX5 is a product of collaboration between SAIC, General Motors, and BorgWarner, and it is manufactured in China. The Roewe RX5 is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission features seven forward gears and utilizes a wet clutch. The wet dual-clutch transmission consists of two sets of multi-plate clutches (one large and one small) mounted coaxially within a sealed oil chamber filled with hydraulic fluid. This design offers better adjustability and higher heat resistance, enabling it to handle higher torque. When using the Roewe RX5's transmission in daily driving, pay attention to the following points: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for too long. Prolonged neglect can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for extended periods. While some experienced drivers may coast in neutral with manual transmissions, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and jerking when shifting back to Drive (D). Never shift into Drive (D) or Reverse (R) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse prematurely to showcase "smooth" driving, but this can severely damage the transmission gears, leading to issues like gear grinding over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in Drive (D). Automatic transmissions may overheat under heavy load or shift too early, causing a lack of power. Use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If the automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, use a flatbed tow truck and move the vehicle onto the tow platform while in Neutral (N). Avoid using tow ropes or direct towing with another vehicle.
