What transmission does the RX5 MAX use?
2 Answers
RX5 MAX uses a total of three transmissions, which are a 6-speed manual transmission, a 6AT transmission, and a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. The RX5 MAX is a compact SUV under the Roewe brand. The dimensions of this car are 4647 mm in length, 1891 mm in width, and 1725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2760 mm. The RX5 MAX is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 173 horsepower and a maximum torque of 275 Nm, with a maximum power output at 5600 rpm and a maximum torque range between 1750 to 4000 rpm.
The Roewe RX5 Max is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT), which I find to be very responsive when driving, with smooth gear shifts and no jerking. This type of transmission, through the alternating work of two clutches, allows for more direct acceleration and better fuel efficiency in city driving. The downside is that during low-speed driving, such as in traffic jams, there might be slight vibrations if the throttle is pressed too abruptly, so smooth operation is recommended. Some car owners have reported cooling issues at high temperatures, making regular oil changes crucial. This type of transmission is common in SUVs, balancing performance and efficiency, making it a worthy choice. Daily maintenance, including air filter changes and system checks, should not be overlooked to ensure long-term use.
