What transmission does the Zotye SR7 use?
2 Answers
Zotye SR7 manual transmission models use a 5-speed manual transmission, while automatic transmission models use a CVT continuously variable transmission. Taking the 2017 Zotye SR7 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4510mm, width 1835mm, height 1610mm, with a wheelbase of 2680mm and a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. The 2017 Zotye SR7 features a MacPherson independent front suspension and a torsion beam non-independent rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine producing a maximum horsepower of 150PS, maximum power of 110kW, and maximum torque of 195Nm, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
I've been driving the Zotye SR7 for over three years and am very familiar with its transmission configurations. This model offers two options: one is a 5-speed manual transmission, which provides smooth shifting and driving pleasure, especially suitable for mountainous areas or those who enjoy handling; the other is a CVT automatic transmission, which is fuel-efficient and convenient, making city commuting effortless, with average fuel consumption slightly lower than the manual version. I've used the CVT version, and the gear shifts are smooth without any jerking, making long-distance driving more comfortable. However, it's important to note that manual transmissions are simpler and cheaper to maintain, while CVTs require regular oil changes, or minor issues may arise. Overall, the Zotye SR7's transmission is reliable and practical, more than sufficient for family use. Don't slack on regular maintenance; changing the CVT oil approximately every two years ensures good chain lubrication.
