What transmission is used in the BAIC Senova X35?
3 Answers
Senova X35 uses two types of transmissions in total, one is a 5-speed manual transmission, and the other is a 4AT transmission. Here are the relevant details: 1. The AT transmission is the most mature and widely used transmission technology, with a relatively complex structure. The AT transmission consists entirely of planetary gears inside, which are used for speed and torque variation. The AT transmission is connected to the engine through a torque converter, which is filled with transmission fluid. It is due to this soft connection method that the AT transmission offers smoother shifting. 2. The AT transmission has good reliability and stability. If properly used and maintained, it rarely encounters any faults. However, if the transmission fluid is not changed for a long time, it can lead to transmission damage.
I used to drive the BAIC Senova X35 frequently, which came with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a 4-speed automatic transmission. The manual version offered a nice feel, with smooth gear shifts and quick power response during acceleration, making it fuel-efficient on city roads while adding a bit of driving fun. The automatic version was much more convenient, especially in traffic jams, as it eliminated the need for frequent gear changes, making driving more relaxed. The transmissions were from Aisin, known for their reliability, and I drove over 20,000 kilometers without any issues. In daily use, it performed stably on mountain roads and highways, with fuel consumption around 8-9L/100km, making it suitable for family use and economical driving. One thing to note: if you feel slight resistance when shifting gears, it might be time to change the transmission fluid. Regular maintenance can prevent minor issues and extend its lifespan.
As a DIY car enthusiast, I've changed the transmission fluid for the BAIC Senova X35, which mainly comes with a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. The manual transmission has a simple structure, is easy to maintain, and checking the fluid level is straightforward—you can do it yourself with the right tools. The automatic transmission is a bit more complex, but the 4-speed design is durable with a low failure rate. From my experience, the transmission performs smoothly, handles gravel roads without excessive bumpiness, and shifts smoothly without being jerky. I recommend changing the transmission fluid every 50,000 kilometers, using the original brand for safety, keeping fuel consumption within a reasonable range, and avoiding overheating during long-distance driving. Overall, the transmission has high compatibility, offers a comfortable driving experience, and is trustworthy.
