What transmission does the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition use?
1 Answers
The transmission brand used in the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition is SAIC Motor Corporation Limited. SAIC's main businesses cover the R&D, production, and sales of complete vehicles (including passenger cars and commercial vehicles), components (including engines, transmissions, powertrains, chassis, interior and exterior trim, electronic and electrical systems, etc.), as well as automotive service trade businesses such as logistics, telematics, used cars, and automotive financial services. The Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition is equipped with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Unlike conventional automatic transmissions, the dual-clutch transmission (DCT) is based on manual transmission technology but operates as an automatic transmission. It combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while delivering uninterrupted power output. For daily use of the Tiggo 8 Kunpeng Edition's transmission, the following points should be noted: Do not delay transmission fluid changes for extended periods. Prolonged failure to change the transmission fluid can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid prolonged coasting in neutral. While many experienced drivers coast in neutral when driving manual transmission vehicles, doing so in an automatic transmission can cause overheating and produce a noticeable shock when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D (Drive) or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving to demonstrate smooth operation, but this can severely damage transmission gears and lead to grinding or other failures over time. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D (Drive) mode. Automatic transmission vehicles may overheat under high load or shift too early, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, 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, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) rather than being towed directly with a tow rope or similar method.
