What transmission is used in the 2019 New Vision?
3 Answers
2019 New Vision is equipped with the following transmissions: 5-speed manual transmission, 4-speed automatic manual transmission, and CVT continuously variable transmission. Taking the 2019 New Vision Upgrade 1.5L Manual Base model as an example: the exterior dimensions are 4599mm in length, 1747mm in width, and 1482mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2615mm. The 2019 New Vision Upgrade 1.5L Manual Base model is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum horsepower of 109 hp, a maximum power of 80 kW, and a maximum power speed of 6000 rpm.
When driving the 2019 New Vision manual version, I use the five-speed manual transmission, which feels direct in operation with smooth gear shifts, especially powerful when going uphill. Geely's manual transmission system is solidly designed, rarely encounters issues, and is inexpensive to maintain—basic checks on the clutch plate and gears suffice. Long-distance driving averages about 6L/100km, making it quite economical, ideal for those who enjoy manual driving to hone their skills. Occasionally, traffic jams can make the footwork tiring, but you get used to it over time—the overall reliability is good. The only advice for beginners is to practice reverse gear positioning more and avoid sudden braking to protect the transmission. Overall, as an entry-level car, its transmission is practical and durable.
As a car owner, I've experienced the convenience of the four-speed automatic transmission in the automatic version of the New Vision. In city traffic jams, there's no need to shift gears, giving my left foot a rest. The acceleration is smooth, and deceleration is without jerking, making it comfortable for family use and passenger transport. The fuel consumption is slightly higher, around 7L, but acceptable. The transmission maintenance interval is about 60,000 kilometers for an oil change. It drives quietly and smoothly, and even beginners don't need to worry about gear shifting issues. The only drawback is the limited number of gears, making it slightly more strenuous at high speeds, but it's stable enough for daily use. I recommend regular checks of the oil pressure to avoid overheating, which is good for the car and saves money and hassle.
