The three major parts of the car refer to the gearbox, engine, chassis, usually to determine whether a vehicle is of high quality, but also from these aspects.
In recent years, gearboxes have increasingly become a publicity gimmick for car companies. Indeed, an excellent gearbox can not only improve the handling of the vehicle, but also achieve the purpose of fuel saving. If a manufacturer can develop its own engine, it does not necessarily have the strength to develop a gearbox. Therefore, transmission technology is often in the hands of a small number of German and Japanese manufacturers. Some main engine manufacturers develop their own gearboxes, often only assembled on their own models, not popular.
Today we will introduce 7 vehicles using 8AT gearboxes, the lowest price of these 7 vehicles is Fox's 136,800, the highest is the Camry, and the 8AT entry-level model does not exceed 230,000.
8AT is a hydraulic automatic transmission that can make the vehicle have 8 forward gears. Manufacturers of 8AT gearboxes include Aisin, ZF, Shengrui Transmission and oem production. Today, I will focus on the Aisin 8AT and the OEM's 8AT.
Aisin 8AT
In the field of automatic transmissions, Aisin's product share ranks among the highest in the world. Aisin gearbox has always had a good reputation, from 4AT to 6AT to 8AT, has been widely used by various car manufacturers, hot sales worldwide. Models using Aisin 8AT products are cross-level, from domestic Changan to luxury brands Cadillac and Lexus.
In fact, in addition to Aisin, ZF's gearbox is more well-known, but it is mainly equipped in luxury cars, such as BMW, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce and so on. Therefore, today's research subjects are not equipped with 8AT gearboxes, which also directly shows that ZF's 8AT is definitely more expensive than the Aisin 8AT.
Changan CS75PLUS manufacturer guidance price: 11.79-15.49 million yuan
In the five models of the CS75plus, the 1.5T and 2.0T versions were used, the 1.5T version used the Aisin 6AT transmission, and the 2.0T version used the Aisin 8AT transmission. The 2.0T version is priced at 139,900 yuan and 154,900 yuan respectively, depending on the configuration.
Changan CS75PLUS is also the use of 6AT and 8AT gearbox, has become the top fifteen regular customers in the SUV sales list, compared to the dual clutch transmission, THE high-grade sense of the AT gearbox and the stability bar, is the market innate recognition.
Changan UNI-K manufacturer guidance price: 14.59-18.49 million yuan
The UNI-K is equipped with the Blue Whale family's 2.0T turbocharged engine and Aisin's 8AT transmission with a maximum horsepower of 233 hp and a peak torque of 360 Nm.
The tuning of the Aisin 8AT is actually not as intense as ZF, so the performance on many models is still smooth and stable.
Lynk & Co 03
Lynk & Co 03 has a total of 8 models, of which the 1.5TD DCT and 2.0T DCT versions are equipped with 7 moisture-blocking dual clutches, and the 2.0TD and above versions are equipped with 8AT, priced at 198,880-256,800 yuan. It is worth noting that the 03+Cyan priced at 236,800 yuan and 256,800 yuan is a customized version, and the entry-level model of 198,800 yuan and 2.0T has begun to assemble 8AT.
Citroen Versailles C5 X manufacturer guidance price: 14.37-18.67 million yuan
After the Versailles C5 X was listed, it achieved good results compared with Citroën itself, and I don't know if this car will become a life-saving straw for Citroën.
Versailles C5 X adopts Aisin 8AT gearbox, the gear changes are smooth and coherent, the frustration is slight, and the most important thing is that the car is still good.
Citroen C6 manufacturer guidance price: 18.99-27.59 million yuan
The C6 with Versailles has 7 models using 8AT gearboxes, all of which are 400THP versions, priced from 220,900 yuan to 275,900 yuan, which means that 220,900 yuan can be assembled into an 8AT gearbox, while the 360THP version is equipped with a 6AT gearbox.
Camry manufacturer guidance price: 17.98-26.98 million yuan
The Camry is available in up to 10 models with CVT continuously variable transmissions, 8AT transmissions and E-CVT transmissions. Among them, the three models are matched with 8AT, priced at 219,800 yuan.
Speaking of Toyota, we have to mention Aisin again, many people say that the relationship between the two is actually the relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary, but it is not. The chairman of Aisin and the chairman of Toyota are from the same family, both surnamed Toyota, and are uncles and nephews. Toyota has a large share in Aisin, with Toyota Motor, Toyota Kogyo, and Denso (a Toyota company) accounting for 37.3% of the shares.
Oem R&D
Now some OEMs have their own 8AT gearboxes, such as the 8AT jointly developed by Ford and GM, the hyundai Paivotai 8AT, and the Shengrui 8AT.
Fox manufacturer guidance price: 10.88-15.38 million yuan
Of the seven models that Fox sells, five are equipped with 8AT, priced at 136,800 yuan. The 8AT is an improvement on the 9AT jointly developed by Ford and GM, which is one less set of gears than GM's 9AT. This gearbox has the advantages of high torque strength, high fuel economy and low frustration.
