What type of transmission does the Geely Vision X3 automatic use?
2 Answers
Geely Vision X3 automatic uses a Punch CVT transmission. CVT Introduction: CVT is a continuously variable transmission, with advantages including fuel efficiency, affordable maintenance, and smooth operation, but it has weaker acceleration sensation and limited capacity for high-torque engines. AT Introduction: AT is an automatic transmission, with benefits such as ease of operation and relaxed driving, as the automatic transmission selects the most suitable gear based on vehicle speed and feedback from the onboard computer. However, it has higher maintenance costs and fuel consumption. DCT, DSG Introduction: DCT and DSG are both dual-clutch transmissions. They offer fast gear shifting, high efficiency, and low fuel consumption. However, they require high production precision, have high costs, and provide less comfort.
I've been driving this Geely Vision X3 with a 4AT transmission (that's a 4-speed automatic) for over two years. It runs quite smoothly, especially in traffic jams where I don't need to shift gears frequently. However, the RPM runs a bit higher on highways since it has fewer gears. The mechanic during maintenance said this transmission is particularly sturdy and rarely has issues as long as the oil is changed on time. When I was choosing the car, the salesperson mentioned that not many vehicles in this price range use AT transmissions these days, as many have switched to CVTs. Although AT technology is older, it's more durable, which gives me peace of mind since I often drive on mountain roads.
