What transmission is used in the Changan Oushang X7?
1 Answers
Changan transmission is the one used in the Oushang X7. Changan (China Changan Automobile Group Co., Ltd.), formerly known as China South Industries Automobile Corporation, was established in December 2005 and is headquartered in Beijing. The Changan Oushang X7 is equipped with two types of transmissions: a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission (DCT) differs from conventional automatic transmission systems. Based on a manual transmission yet not an automatic one, it combines the flexibility of a manual transmission with the comfort of an automatic transmission while providing uninterrupted power output. A manual transmission is a gear-shifting device that alters the engine's speed and torque transmitted to the drive wheels, enabling the vehicle to achieve different traction forces and speeds under various conditions such as starting, climbing hills, turning, and accelerating. For the Changan Oushang X7's transmission, the following points should be noted during daily use: Do not delay changing the transmission oil for an extended period. Prolonged failure to change the transmission oil can damage internal components such as bearings and the housing. Avoid coasting in neutral for long durations. While driving manual transmission models, many experienced drivers may coast in neutral, but for automatic transmission models, this can cause overheating and a noticeable jolt when shifting back into D (Drive) mode. Never shift into D or R (Reverse) before the vehicle comes to a complete stop. Some drivers, aiming for a 'smooth' operation, shift into reverse while the vehicle is still moving, which can severely damage the transmission gears and, over time, lead to gear grinding and other failures. Avoid frequently climbing steep slopes in D mode. Automatic transmission vehicles can overheat under high loads or shift prematurely, resulting in insufficient power for climbing. In such cases, use manual mode to lock in lower gears or switch to sport mode to protect the transmission. Do not tow the vehicle over long distances. If an automatic transmission vehicle breaks down, it should be transported using a flatbed tow truck with the transmission in N (Neutral) mode. Avoid using tow ropes or directly towing the vehicle with another car.
