What type of engine and transmission does the Changan Oshan X7 have?
1 Answers
Changan Oshan X7 is equipped with a Blue Whale engine and a dual-clutch transmission. The Blue Whale engine features DVVT technology and direct fuel injection, and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission combines the manual and automatic transmission functions in one vehicle, blending the comfort of an automatic with the sporty feel of a manual. It allows drivers to switch between modes based on their needs and driving conditions, offering both convenience and driving pleasure. The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission uses two automatic clutches. Shifting is similar to a manual transmission but without the need to press a clutch pedal, effectively reducing power interruption during gear changes, ensuring immediate power delivery to the wheels. A dual-clutch transmission is a common type of automatic transmission, developed from manual transmissions. Its structure is similar to a manual transmission but includes an additional clutch and gear-shifting mechanism. One clutch controls odd-numbered gears, while the other controls even-numbered gears. Dual-clutch transmissions offer high efficiency and fast gear shifts. There are two types of dual-clutch transmissions: dry and wet. The dry type's clutch plates are not immersed in transmission fluid, offering faster shifts and higher efficiency. The wet type's clutch plates are immersed in fluid, allowing it to handle higher torque with better cooling and reliability. The wet type is more complex and costly.
