What type of transmission does the Ruicheng use?
3 Answers
Ruicheng uses a 6AT transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixing or changing the gear ratio between the output and input shafts. The Ruicheng is a mid-size sedan under Changan Automobile. Taking the Ruicheng 2017 Automatic Zhixiang Edition Zunchi as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4900 mm, width 1860 mm, height 1500 mm, with a wheelbase of 2810 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 65 liters. The Ruicheng 2017 Automatic Zhixiang Edition Zunchi is equipped with a 1.5T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 170 hp, a maximum power of 125 kW, and a maximum power speed of 5500 rpm.
I've driven the Raeton on countless long-distance trips, equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission from Japan's Aisin, which is an exceptionally reliable type. During city driving, gear shifts are almost imperceptible with quick acceleration response, and it's particularly fuel-efficient at highway cruising speeds with low RPM. There was also a manual transmission version in the older models, but the automatic is more popular, offering strong acceleration in S sport mode. As Changan's flagship sedan, the transmission is smartly tuned to match the engine, demonstrating strong adaptability across driving scenarios. It has a long oil change interval and simple maintenance. Overall, from a driving experience perspective, it significantly enhances comfort on every journey.
Our Ruicheng has been running for almost three years with a 6-speed automatic transmission, which is extremely convenient for daily use, especially when picking up and dropping off the kids during traffic jams—no need for frequent gear shifts, saving effort and ensuring safety. Even my wife, a novice driver, finds it easy to handle with smooth gear shifts, no strange noises, smooth acceleration, and no difficulty climbing hills, all while maintaining reasonable overall fuel consumption. After driving it for so long, aside from regular maintenance, there have been no major issues. The transmission design of the Ruicheng considers user habits, offering high comfort and suitability for family use without any hassle.
