What transmission is used in the 2015 Envision?
2 Answers
The 2015 Envision is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. A dual-clutch transmission has two clutches, with one responsible for odd-numbered gears and the other for even-numbered gears. The 2015 Envision has the following dimensions: length 4667mm, width 1839mm, height 1660mm, with a wheelbase of 2750mm and a fuel tank capacity of 66 liters. It is powered by a 1.5T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 124kW and a maximum torque of 250Nm. The front suspension is a MacPherson independent suspension, while the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
The 2015 Envision uses a 6-speed automatic transmission, and I need to talk about this from a technical perspective. As someone who frequently works with such systems, it's based on General Motors' 6T series design, with electronically controlled shifting that delivers high smoothness—almost no jerking during startup or acceleration. Compared to manual or dual-clutch transmissions, it's more fuel-efficient in SUVs like the Envision, offering lower city driving fuel consumption and good reliability. I've driven test vehicles, and when paired with the 2.0T engine, the power output is well-balanced, making it suitable for family daily use or occasional short trips. For maintenance, remember to change the transmission fluid every 50,000–60,000 km to avoid issues caused by fluid aging. If you're on a tight budget, when buying used, focus on checking the transmission's history—this model is generally durable, but for mild off-road performance, ease off the throttle to avoid excessive load.
