What transmission does the Trumpchi GS4 Plus use?

[Daedalus]

Trumpchi GS4 Plus uses the GAC dual-clutch automatic transmission G-DCT with a dry clutch. The Trumpchi GS4 is an SUV model launched by GAC on April 18, 2015, with a total of 8 variants available. On November 15, 2016, the 2017 Trumpchi GS4 was officially released. Here are some relevant details about the Trumpchi GS4 Plus: 1. Body dimensions: The manual comfort version measures 4545x1856x1668mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. Except for the manual comfort version, all other variants measure 4545x1856x1700mm in length, width, and height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. 2. Vehicle wheelbase: The vehicle wheelbase is the distance between the centers of two adjacent wheels on the same side of the vehicle, perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetry plane. A shorter wheelbase results in a shorter vehicle length, reduced weight, smaller minimum turning radius and longitudinal passing radius, and improved maneuverability. However, if the wheelbase is too short, the cabin length will be insufficient, and the rear overhang will be too long, leading to increased longitudinal sway during driving and significant weight transfer during braking, acceleration, or uphill driving, which will deteriorate handling and stability.

When it comes to the transmission used in the Trumpchi GS4 PLUS, I’ve been driving this car for almost a year and have a pretty deep experience with it. It uses a 6-speed automatic transmission, specifically an Aisin AT gearbox, paired with a 1.5T engine. The gear shifts are quite smooth, with no noticeable jerking whether on highways or in the city. While driving, the throttle response feels good, acceleration is steady, and it handles uphill climbs on mountain roads with ease. The transmission is designed with intelligent control, automatically adjusting gears based on speed to balance power and fuel efficiency—the official combined fuel consumption is around 7L per 100km. For daily maintenance, it’s recommended to regularly check the transmission fluid and replace it every 40,000-50,000 km, while avoiding aggressive driving to extend its lifespan. If the budget allows, opting for the automatic version is much more comfortable than the manual, making it ideal for family use. Overall, the GS4 PLUS’s powertrain is reliable in its price range, with no issues like overheating or excessive noise.

From a repair perspective, the Trumpchi GS4 PLUS typically features a 6-speed automatic transmission, utilizing the proven Aisin system with smooth matching. I've seen many owners come for maintenance, and the key is to adhere to the transmission fluid replacement interval—recommended every two years or 50,000 kilometers—otherwise, it may lead to sluggish shifting or wear. Common issues in repairs include oil seal leaks or sensor failures, but these aren't major problems and can be avoided with regular diagnostics. The advantage of this transmission lies in its high reliability and simple structure, making it easy to maintain, unlike more delicate dual-clutch systems. When driving, avoid slamming the accelerator or frequent hard braking to protect the gears. If shifting issues arise, check the fluid first; minor problems usually don't require replacing the entire unit. Trumpchi's design is well-suited for daily commuting, offering good value for money and low maintenance costs.

The GAC GS4 PLUS comes standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is an AT type. I've used this car, and the transmission works by using solenoid valves to control gear shifts, offering fast and smooth shifting that's friendly to beginners. It's optimized for fuel economy, being more fuel-efficient than older 4AT transmissions. The design employs a steel belt drive, which is quite wear-resistant and adaptable to various road conditions. Common versions pair this transmission with a 1.5T engine, delivering even power output during driving. It's recommended to regularly check the fluid level and sensors to maintain proper operation.
