What type of transmission is used in the Besturn B90?
2 Answers
The Besturn B90 is equipped with a 6AT transmission. The transmission is a mechanism used to alter the speed and torque from the engine, capable of fixed or stepped changes in the output-to-input shaft transmission ratio, also known as a gearbox. The Besturn B90 is classified as a mid-size sedan. Taking the 2016 Besturn B90 10th Anniversary Edition Automatic Comfort model as an example, its body dimensions are: length 486 mm, width 1812 mm, height 1472 mm, with a wheelbase of 2780 mm and a fuel tank capacity of 58 liters. The 2016 Besturn B90 10th Anniversary Edition Automatic Comfort model is powered by an inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum power of 137 kW at 5500 to 6000 rpm, paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
Speaking of the Besturn B90's transmission, as someone who has long followed domestic cars, I must say it uses a 6-speed automatic transmission from Japan's Aisin, which is quite smoothly matched. Having driven this car several times, gear shifts are basically jerk-free, handling both city and highway driving well. In terms of fuel efficiency, it's more economical than the older manual transmission, making it suitable for daily commuting. I've also noted maintenance suggestions for similar models, where regular oil changes can prevent common issues like unusual noises or overheating. Overall, the B90's system is reliable and cost-effective, though it's best to check the specific year before buying, as there might be minor adjustments between different batches.
