What transmission is used in the Senova X65?
2 Answers
The Senova X65 uses a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic transmission. Automotive transmissions can be divided into manual transmissions and automatic transmissions. The main function of the transmission is to distribute the engine's power. The more gears there are, the more precisely the engine's power can be distributed, making the coordination between engine speed, transmission gear, and vehicle speed more harmonious. A manual transmission requires the driver to manually shift the gear lever to change the gear meshing positions inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. An automatic transmission uses planetary gear mechanisms to change gears automatically based on the degree of throttle pedal input and vehicle speed changes, allowing the driver to control the speed simply by operating the accelerator pedal.
I've researched the Senova X65 while driving, and it offers two transmission options: a 5-speed manual transmission, which is quite common and preferred by manual enthusiasts like myself for its direct shifting and fuel efficiency; and a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is effortless to use, especially in traffic jams, with smooth gear changes. The choice depends on personal preference—manual saves money but requires skill, while automatic offers convenience and comfort. Over time, regular transmission fluid changes are essential; neglecting this can lead to issues. Paired with a 1.8T engine, the car delivers good overall power matching and high value, making it suitable for family trips or daily commutes. For frequent mountain driving, the manual version offers more driving fun, but from a durability standpoint, the automatic is easier to maintain. I recommend test-driving both to feel the transmission differences before buying.
