Why doesn't Baojun have a P gear?
1 Answers
Baojun doesn't have a P gear because it uses an AMT transmission, which isn't a true automatic transmission. Without a P gear, it operates similarly to a manual transmission. AMT Transmission: The gear section of an AMT transmission follows the structure of a manual transmission, but employs an electronically controlled shifting mechanism. Its control panel only features R, N, D gears and manual shifting + and - positions, lacking the P parking gear found in conventional automatic transmissions. The advantage lies in maintaining the fuel efficiency of manual transmissions, offering significantly better fuel economy compared to typical AT transmissions. However, its shifting logic is inferior, with noticeable gearshift impacts, resulting in far less comfort than AT automatic transmissions. How to operate without a P gear: After parking, simply shift to N gear and engage the handbrake, operating the same way as manual transmission vehicles.
