What transmission does the Trumpchi GS5 Super use?
2 Answers
The Trumpchi GS5 Super uses three types of transmissions: a 5-speed manual transmission, a 5AT automatic transmission, and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The AT transmission and dual-clutch transmission are among the more common automatic transmissions. The Trumpchi GS5 Super is a compact SUV under the GAC Trumpchi brand, available in six colors: Jade Black, Mystic Black, Tungsten Gray, Topaz Brown, Coral Red, and Pearl White. In terms of features, the GS5 Super is equipped with xenon headlights, electric adjustment for the front passenger seat, seat heating, tire pressure monitoring, and more.
The Trumpchi GS5 Super uses an Aisin 6-speed automatic transmission. I've driven a friend's car with this gearbox on the highway for long distances, and it performed quite steadily. Its tuning leans towards comfort and smoothness. When paired with the 1.5T engine, the transmission keeps the RPM just over 2000 at 120 km/h, making it both fuel-efficient and quiet. During traffic jams, gear shifts are almost imperceptible, with no noticeable jerking. In sport mode, although downshifts aren’t particularly fast, the engine sound and power delivery feel quite natural when you floor the accelerator. Maintenance isn’t complicated either—just replace the original transmission fluid every 60,000 km. Mechanics say the failure rate of this transmission’s valve body is much lower than that of dual-clutch transmissions. In the 150,000-yuan SUV segment, this powertrain combo is a high-value choice.
