What transmission is used in the Geely Emgrand GL?
2 Answers
Geely Emgrand GL uses the Getrag 6DCT transmission. Introduction to the Getrag 6DCT transmission: This transmission is jointly developed by Getrag, a world-leading transmission R&D and manufacturing company from Germany, and LUK. It underwent rigorous testing on 66 prototype vehicles, accumulating 14.58 million kilometers of testing, including high-temperature tests at 40°C, extreme cold tests at -35°C, and high-altitude tests at 4800m under various harsh conditions, ensuring full quality assurance. Data introduction: The 6DCT150 transmission has a fuel consumption of only 6.9L/100KM, which is even more fuel-efficient than manual transmissions. The torque parameter of a transmission is not like that of an engine, where bigger is better, but rather depends on its compatibility with the engine. Many transmissions have a wide applicable torque range, reaching up to 250Nm.
I've been driving a Geely Emgrand GL manual for several years. Its transmission comes with a 5-speed manual and an automatic CVT option. The manual version is straightforward and reliable, with crisp gear changes, but driving in the city for long periods can make your legs sore. The automatic CVT drives smoothly and effortlessly, is fuel-efficient, and pairs well with the 1.4T engine. I recommend choosing based on personal preference—manual is simpler and cheaper to maintain, while automatic is better for beginners or families. I've also found the transmission to be stable in quality, with Geely's tuning being quite good, and haven't encountered any major issues. For daily maintenance, pay attention to oil changes. For city commuting, automatic is more hassle-free, while manual is for those who enjoy driving dynamics. Note that transmission types differ between high and low trim levels, so checking the specs before buying is the safest bet.
